Okey… If you want to get rid of the second step you should link directly to the article on the remote website from Arlima. The basic workflow would look something like.

1) You spot an article on a remote website that you want to link to from roundhousetalk.com
2) You go to “Manage Lists” in wp-admin of your own website.
3) Down to the right you will find a container with the label “Teaser template”. There you will find a template called “Empty teaser”. Drag the empty teaser to your list.
4) Add the content you want to be displayed in the article (title, images, text etc…)
5) In the same form that you added content for your article you will find an input labeled “Link”. Add the URL of the article on the remote site in that input field. Now when visitor clicks on the article on your website they will be redirected to the remote website immediately.

Another tip: If you know that there is a website that you often link to you can import the RSS-feed of that website. This enables you to scan the content of the website directly in Arlima and also to create article using their content (I will make a screen cast for this when there’s time). Most websites that has a news flow will provide an RSS-feed, if you don’t see a link to the feed on the website it might be a good idea to send the owner of the website an e-mail and ask for the link to their RSS.

Once you have the link to the RSS-feed you go to “Web service” in wp-admin and import the list, then go back to “Manage Lists”. Now you will be able to open the article list generated from the imported RSS-feed. You can not publish the imported list but you will be able to drag articles from the imported list over to one of you own published lists.

Thanks Sarah ??

Both of your two suggestions is on the road map.

1) Validate user credentials against wp database before Gmail
2) Make it possible for administrators to write text that will be put below the login form.

Hi there!

You can only import RSS-feeds or exportable Arlima lists. If would want to setup Arlima on another website and use articles from roundhousetalk.com you could import the RSS feed https://roundhousetalk.com/feed/.

However, I don’t think that’s what you want to achieve. If I understand you correctly you want to try Arlima on your website without messing up the content that is already published on the website, right? In that case all you have to do is to follow the guide in the first section at "Other Notes". You will not have to import anything, take a look at this screencast to get an idea about the general workflow when using arlima.

Good Luck, let me know if your having any problems

Hi Daniel!

Yes, you can use Arlima on any page you want. The first section in “Other Notes” describes how to create new lists. The general concept is that you create a page with the template “Article List Page”. On that page you set a custom field with the name “arlima” and the value being the slug of your list. After all that is done you can (if you want to) set the page as front page.

Btw, we’re working on version 2.5 which will make all this much easier and you will also be able to insert an article list using a short code

1) Remove all code in page-arlima.php and paste in the code from here https://pastebin.com/KfW8WQzX (It’s really not that different).

2) To make the articles become fluid you need to set the max-width to “none” for elements having the class .tmpl-article. If you don’t know how to do that the proper way you can copy the following code snippet and put it on line 44 in header.php (located in your theme) right before </head>

<style type="text/css">
    .tmpl-article {
        max-width: none;
    }
</style>

Good luck!

Hello!

This depends on how the code is structured in your theme. You’ll have to look at how the code is written in the file page.php (or single.php) located in your theme directory and make the necessary changes to page-arlima.php, also located in your theme directory.

The default template (page-arlima.php) is written so that it will work with the themes twentyeleven and twentytwelve.

Hi Roger!

We do not have a user guide at the moment. All you have is Other notes (but it’s mostly aimed towards developers) and the two screen casts.

We do regular tests (manually) on windows servers running Apache web server. We have not yet tried it on an IIS web server but please do and get back to us ??

(After doing some googleing on the subject I would say that it should work just fine since IIS does not seem to have any major differences when it comes to the functionality of PHP compared to apache)

Please provide us with additional information so that we can determine what is the cause of your problems. What error messages do you get?

(I’m guessing that the errors appears because your server does not have PHP 5.3. This requirement is stated both in the plugin documentation as well as in the plugin description and I will therefor resolve this topic)

Your welcome ??

This is due to the CSS and HTML in your theme. After have taken a short glance at your DOM I would suggest the following changes.

– Remove line 219 in template.css (where it says margin: 0 34% 0 7.6%;)
– Remove line 220 in template.css (where it says width: 58.4%;)
– Add the following code somewhere in template.css:

.tmpl-article .streamer {
  display: block;
}

btw, other features (such as article preview) is only supported by Internet Explorer 9 (and of course Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla FF and Opera). We don’t do any tests for Internet Explorer version 7 or 8.

I just found out that the Arlima plugin does not support image upload in Internet Explorer. So my only advice to you is to change to another browser (Google Chrome or Mozilla firefox). I would give you this advice anyway since Internet Explorer will give you more pain than pleasure even if it would support image uploads in the Arlima plugin.

Hello!

Hard to say what could be the problem without more information. The pictures is not inserted in the visual editor. Have you seen the demo video? (https://www.screenr.com/vB48). There are two ways you can attach a picture to an arlima article. The workflow is as follows:

1) Drag a wordpress post from the post search to your list. Or create a copy from another article by holding down the ctrl-key (cmd-key on Mac) and then drag the article to a new spot in the article list.

2) Above the visual editor you have a button labeled “Browse”. Click on that button to upload an image from your computer. An alternative (and faster) way of accomplishing this is to drag an image directly from your computer desktop to the browser and then drop the image on the container where the browse-button is located. The second alternative is what can be seen in the demo video (50 seconds in).

What happens when you try this?

Markign this as resolved…
