Geeklog Forums

As a new geeklog convert, I'm having a great deal of fun setting everything up the way I want it. I do have one small thing I haven't been able to figure out though: I'd like to add a "Daily Comic" page, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to link what I already have into geeklog. We currently use "dailystrips", a perl script, to suck local copies of a few strips. The script creates a symlink (index.html) to an html file named with today's date. There is also an archive.html file which has links to previous days' pages. Is there any way to embed these existing html pages into the geeklog framework, ie with banner and blocks? The closest I've come so far is creating an iframe in a static page, but that a) looks odd, since it doesn't pick up any of the theme colours and b) breaks a lot of our wimpier browsers. Is there a simple solution I'm missing, or do I need to locate an actual PHP comicstrip sucker and nail it into a block/module? I'd prefer to use what we aleady have, as it's a situation I'm going to run into as we try to integrate some of the other apps we run locally into the new geeklog framework. All help is appreciated, even an RTFM, if it comes with a page number. :-)

I think the story about Geeklog vs CGI should give you some ideas.

How about trying this idea I posted in this article here. I use it on my site but disabled it for public access as some of the comics were not PG but they are usually pretty funny. Blaine
