Zen TYPO3 Forum

Hi,

The MySQL warnings generally indicate missing fields in the database. To check and see if that's the case, go to Tools > Install > 2: Database Analyser > Update required tables and click on COMPARE. If you see any database fields that need to be added then click "Write to database".

Keep in mind that TIMTAB templates are a bit different than traditional MTB (Modern Template Building) or FTB (Futuristic Template Building) templates.

Altering the look and feel of the TIMTAB template to match the rest of the site will require some basic knowledge of TypoScript. Zen Wireframe Business edition incorporates TIMTAB using the MTB method to simplify things.

I've been trying to get timtab to work for me for about two weeks
now, and I'm about ready to give up even though I need to figure
out how to implement a blog on a web site. So please save me
before I have to do something rash like ditch typo3 and find
another cms.

Where I've gotten to at this point is that I've got 2 pages and
3 sysfolders:

Blog (pid=12)
-Single blog post (pid=14)
-Blog storage folder (pid=13)
-Blog comments folder (pid=16)
-Blogroll links folder (pid=17)

Blog (pid:12)
Page
content element (normal column): news plugin (LIST)
Startingpoint: pid=13
Template (extension template)
Constants:
plugin.tx_timtab_pi2.enableBlogger = 1
plugin.tx_timtab_pi2.enableMetaWeblog = 1
plugin.tx_timtab.title = Rambling musings
plugin.tx_timtab_pi2.pidStorePosts = 13
plugin.tx_timtab.tagline = Odd, unique, entertaining, and inspiring nouns in action
plugin.tx_timtab.blogPid = 14
plugin.tx_timtab.homePid = 2
plugin.tx_timtab.homepage = http://www.pwatol.us/index.php?id=12

CSS-based tmpl (tt_news)

Single blog post (pid: 14)
Page
content element (normal column): guestbook plugin (LIST)
Startingpoint: pid=16
content element (normal column): guestbook plugin (FORM)
Startingpoint: pid=16

Blog storage folder (pid: 13)
List
News (1)
General tab: Title: Once upon a time...; Type: Blog Post; (also has subheader & text)
Relations tab: Category: Things
News category (5)
Things
People
Places
Michigan (subcategory of Places)
Glass (subcategory of Things)

For some reason that I don't understand, my blog pages have the following error
messages displaying at the top of them sporadically:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in /home/pwatol/public_html/typo3_src/t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php
on line 783
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result

on line 2907

You can see the effect at http://www.pwatol.us/index.php?id=12 - but it's not
just happening on the main blog page, and it comes and goes when it's there.

As long as I'm asking, should the list of categories be links?

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I'm not seeing it in the
documentation for either timtab or tt_news.

Thanks for any suggestions you can send my way.
