I see what you're talking about. Shows up under categories (which is where, I presume, you'd LIKE to have it) ...

Then again under the sidebar, as "LinkBlog".

This happened to me too, on a recent installation using the "platinum" skin.

The fix is just a quick edit to the _main.php for your skin ... look for and delete (or comment out) the section in the sidebar that calls the linkblog. For the platinum skin, it looks like:

<div class="bSideItem">
	<h3><?php echo T_('Linkblog') ?></h3>
	<?php require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_linkblog.php' ); // LINKBLOG INCLUDED HERE ?>
	</div>

Don't feel like the lone stranger! I can't help you with your MMS issue, but maybe this one? ;)

No I dont want it under the categories :) I want it as the link blog... but I want the rest of my blogs to appear in the categories list. The options in the admin panel should control this but it doesnt appear to do so :(

I can't see your list of blogs..
I only see your linkblog-articles under linkblog..

so point me corectly where it is going wrong in your opinion ?

This problem, right here, cut an pasted, and highlighted in bold...

Okay then ... exactly the REVERSE of my assumption (it's been that kind of day! ;) )

Instead of commenting out / deleting the _main.php sidebar reference to the linkblog (WHICH YOU WANT) ...

Open _categories.php in the skins directory (knowing that there is a _categories.php in the /skins/yourSkin/ directory that calls ANOTHER _categories.php in the /skins/ directory ... which I've never liked)...

Anyway in /skins/categories.php ... find the line that says

{ # by uncommenting the following lines you can hide some blogs
// if( $curr_blog_ID == # ) continue; // Hide some blog 

Yours will be slightly different, but you should get there.

just uncomment the line and put in the blog number for your linkblog (which, by default install, is #4 ... again ... yours may be different).

That should do the trick (pulling the linkblog out of the categories listing for the "All Blogs" blog).

Hope this helps (finally) ;)

Ahhh, thanks very much!! I really thought the option in the admin config would have done this though, since there is an option there to hide it from the list.

Thanks, ill get this in asap :)

I believe the back office option only keeps it from being a choice in the blog list at the top of the page ( where you have "All Blogs Blurb Bankroll camblog" ).

Glad to FINALLY help! ;)
