So far...
From the admincp category creation section, you can add an icon to represent each category you create, you can see the missing image in the top right hand corner of this article.
Or remove the
{category-icon} code from shortstory.tpl to be rid of it.
SEO URLs:
http://localhost/dle4/category/news/
instead of:
http://localhost/dle4/index.php?do=cat&category=news
DLE supports them. If you can is another story. If mod_rewrite is not enabled for you, forget it.
If it is, this feature had an option to be enabled during the install. If you did not switch it on yet you can do it in the admin.
A working .htaccess in site root is included.(It works for me.)
To add/edit links/templates/modules:
You do this by editing the templates/*YOURTHEME*/main.tpl file or by using the template editor in the adminCP.
.tpl files control the layout of various sections, example:
comments.tpl will control links and layout in the comments section.
main.tpl will control links/menu/modules and layout of the mainpage of the site.
