Hi Adam,

No it’s not possible to change the tags in EE 1.6…
Even if you change the Weblog word to Section you’ll still have to use the tag {exp:weblog:entries}

Maybe like Marty says if you hack the core of EE, but I doubt it’s really necessary to risk mess up with the whole site just to change the tags…

Thanks for the new EE install tips! I follow some of these myself.

When changing the “Section Designation Word”, is it possible to use, for example, “section” instead of “weblog” when writing the EE code? I saw this working in an EE 1.6.8 website.

Example Code:
{exp:section:entries section=“example”} content {/exp:section:entries}

Thanks so much!

Hey Marty. Cool site. Glad to hear you’re getting into photography…

Oh, and just so you know - I’m contacting you through this comment page because your contact page has a bit of a problem.

I’m working on a very exciting book project at the moment about contemporary South African bicycle commuter culture. I think you might like it. Please have a look at this link - http://kck.st/c09uOF  - and our website - http://www.bicycleportraits.co.za

We are using the Kickstarter pledge/reward social platform as an alternative way of raising funds by essentially taking pre-orders (with benefits, depending on the pledge amount) for the book from an online community who want to see the project succeed. It’s an interesting concept - truly independent, community based and very inspiring. Check it out…

I hope you like it. And please spread the word! We need pre-orders to reach our funding goal!

Thanks, Stan.

Hmm… it’s a little unconventional, but I would hand them out to people… to tell them what I do. :D

Or I might actually use them as inserts in product packaging to give people surprise discounts on future purchases. That’s always fun.

And I would use one of my designs at Olive Manna for the cards.

I will use them to promote my crochet and pattern business.

You should also be able to get an in context view of your post in an appropriate template by using the ‘Live Look’ functionality EE provides.

Edit the preferences for the weblog/channel you want to be able to preview to select whichever template you want to use to ‘Live Look’ that weblog/channel, and then a ‘Live Look’ link should appear on your Edit screen in the control panel under the View column for those entries. Clicking on that should show your entry in all its glory, in the template you’ve specified.

That said, I’ve also used the technique you outline sometimes.

Thanks for this. You have convinced me to give it a try. Love the fact that I will not have to deal with themes!
