1. I tried something similar to that in [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net//viewtopic.php?t=4153]this thread[/url]. I'm sure we'll see plugins that do this soon.

2. No, but again, a plugin is already written for the new fersion.

3. You need to edit the line in /skins/custom/_main.php that says:

<?php feedback_link(); ?>

[url=http://doc.b2evolution.net/v-0-9/evocore/Item.html#methodfeedback_link]This page[/url] tells about it. You basically want it to be like this:

<?php feedback_link( 'feedbacks', '', '', 'Comment' ); ?>

. . .

4. There are methods for importing from MovableType, so if you can get your posts in that format, you can use the MT importer in the Tools tab. I can give you an exaple file if it helps. Then you'll just need to make a template that displays all your posts and comments in that format. Otherwise you can try to manuall edit your database to match the layout of b2e (advanced).

5. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback]This link[/url].

6. Make sure the smilies checkbox is checked under "Renderers" in the lower right of the post tab. Then just put the :) or whatever in your post. I think there's a toolbar you can turn on, but I've never used it. Look in the plugins folder.

I modified 'leave a comment' as instructed and it works like a charm :lol:

For the smilies, how do you turn the smilies on in the plugins? I can read opt-out concerning the smilies how do you opt-in ? The Renderers checkbox is checked

Have a look (edit) of the _smilies.renderer.php file in the /plugins/renderers folder. You can switch the $apply_when variable from "opt-out' to "opt-in". ;)

Hope this helps.

1. I did this a year ago, if you can wait a month, you will this in a plugin. If you can't i can post the appropriate code needed to do this. But i recomend waiting the month.

The other questions are answered well.

Regarding the option to show in the post title an icon per category, I definitely adopted this easy-to-use and simple code from Funky M which I combined with the post title. Now your title will look like this:

<h3 class="bTitle"><img src="http://www.fireworkszone.com/pictures/cat/<?php the_category_ID() ?>.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="<?php the_category ?>" /><?php $Item->title(); ?></h3>

The second step is to create a cat folder and upload your images and name them to match the category IDs (1.gif, 2.gif, etc.). To see your category IDs go to 'Categories' in your admin and you mouse over your categories you can read the ID at the end of the URL. For example:

http://www.fireworkszone.com/news/admin/b2categories.php?action=Edit&cat_ID=11

You can see the result on my website: http://www.fireworkszone.com/news/

Thanks for your help

If you change this :-

<h3 class="bTitle"><img src="http://www.fireworkszone.com/pictures/cat/<?php the_category_ID() ?>.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="<?php the_category ?>" /><?php $Item->title(); ?></h3>

to this :-

<h3 class="bTitle cat<?php the_category_ID() ?>" ><?php $Item->title(); ?></h3>

Then you'll be able to control the images with your style sheet instead of hardwiring them into your skin
