I'm hoping to use the Nickel Theme for only Used/Demo Equipment on the http://www.fairviewhifi.com website. It appears that this can be done after reading the following forum post: http://stackideas.com/forums/assign-a-custom-theme-template-to-a-category

Is there a line I can add to the appropriate file to make this happen?

Thanks,

Steve
Hi Stephen Crewson,

In order to specifically assigned the category to Nickel themes is by:
1. Click EasyBlog>Categories>Used/Demos>And create the folder that appear (example: http://screencast.com/t/7OoRkmJKH )
2. After create the folder in the template file>Copy Nickel themes [DIR:../components/com_easyblog/thmese/nickel] into the folder
3. Refresh the Editting Category in the backend and select the custom template (example: http://screencast.com/t/OfrH6I7Nd ) and save the setting

Hope this helps

Thanks Muhammad. You definitely clarified a few things for me.

One final question, is there a way to limit the intro text to let's say 100 characters from within the nickel php file?

Thanks again,

Steve

You're welcome, you can configure this from backend > Easyblog > settings > layout > truncation

Hope this help.

Thanks Arlex. If I change the truncation here will it not change the truncation for all my Themes? (i.e Default & Nickel templates)

For instance,

I have my regular blogs (using Default template) being truncated at let's say 200 characters.
I am wanting the used equipment blogs (using Nickel template) to be truncated at 75 characters,


I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Steve

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Currently that was not possible to spilt it out the truncation setting only for Nickel theme in current system.

Thanks for understand.
