custom [Solved] Locating single.php in source files

[Dan Haddock 0]

Hi Pagelines team and wider community,

I am looking to develop a single post page for my blog. I have read over an old article on the subject, however the link provided on achieving this goal was giving me security warnings. Is there any way I can get round this?

Secondly, I have had a root around the .zip file provided on my sites backup, however was unable to locate any file in there with the name of Single.php. Does this file exist in the Pagelines theme?

By the way, this is the unsafe article: http://support.pagelines.me/docs/customization/create-a-custom-page-template/ (Click at your peril).

1.  The best method would be to create your custom loop section, Docs here: http://docs.pagelines.com/developer/section-api. However, if you're not comfortable doing so, you could try the MiniLoops or Special Recent Posts.

   http://wordpress.org/plugins/special-recent-posts/

2. The single.php file doesn't exist in PageLines DMS since pages are built with the DMS framework

Ah that is a great help Ray!

I did not know about the section API. I am in the process of learning to use API's so will probably give this a go later on.

At the moment I am creating the HTML and CSS side of things in my blogpost page. Would thie results differ once implemented as part of an API do you think?

Kind regards,

Dan

HTML and CSS shouldn't be affected

Excellent, thank you for that Ray,

Will see what I can come up with.
