Setting the Page Variables

At its top, the simple PHP template code contains a handful of variables from which the entire page is built. yBlog sets defaults for all the page variables, but you will generally wish to set at least the page title and description.

Here is the code for this page, for example:

<?php // ------- yBlog Page Variables -----------------------//
	$TITLE 		= "Creating blog pages"; 	//default=SITE_NAME
	$DESC			= "Content creation in yBlog's file-based blog system ";//default=SITE_DESC
	$AVATAR		= "img/yBlog2.jpg";			//default=SITE_LOGO
	$MENU_ORDER	= 1;					 	//default=1,0 = not menued
//	$AUTHOR		= "Author";			 	//default=SITE_AUTHOR
//	$STYLES		= "elegant");			//blue(default), none, box, elegant
include_once '../lib/yBlog.php';if(isset($getVarsOnly)) return;
//-----------------------------------------------------------//?>
