Skins, Stubs, Templates & website integration...
By tsfadmin on Jul 19, 2009 | In b2evolution Tips
By default, blogs are displayed using a skin. (More on skins in another post.)
This means, blogs are accessed through 'index.php', which loads default parameters from the database and then passes on the display job to a skin.
Alternatively, if you don't want to use the default DB parameters and want to, say, force a skin, a category or a specific linkblog, you can create a stub file like the provided 'a_stub.php' and call your blog through this stub instead of index.php .
Finally, if you need to do some very specific customizations to your blog, you may use plain templates instead of skins. In this case, call your blog through a full template, like the provided 'a_noskin.php'.
If you want to integrate a b2evolution blog into a complex website, you'll probably want to do it by copy/pasting code from a_noskin.php into a page of your website.
You will find more information in the stub/template files themselves. Open them in a text editor and read the comments in there.
Either way, make sure you go to the blogs admin and set the correct access method/URL for your blog. Otherwise, the permalinks will not function properly.
