slowdive

I am already using The Loop for the main index page. It works great. But when you click on the permalink, it just spits out the raw info. I don’t know how to config that since I’m not using themes (ie. there is no single.php to configure).

When I click on “link to this” (aka permalink), it just spits out the raw info from the post.

I’m trying to figure out how to customize that, since there is no single.php since I am not using themes. Isn’t there some code I can throw in the Loop that indicates something like “if single, then display this..” or whatever? I’ve done this sort of thing with MovableType, so my mind is working from a weird angle..

THANKS for any help someone can provide. ;-).

No. Basically I have a band page — I want the band to be able to write on their blog — and I don’t wordpress to actually touch the file I’ve designed. I want to have a php include which calls a very modified template/index.php file (which I strip down to things such as the actual post, posted by, time, and comments..).

I use this technique all the time with MT for my job, where we have many pages and we don’t want MovableType in control of the pages. So we just make it output separate files and do php includes to place them wherever we want within a page design. That way there is no separate CSS and no possibility of the blog manipulating anything except what I’m calling in the php include.

So is there an way I can have WP output to a file that includes the actual posts made, instead of just raw php code?

I’ve used WordPress for a while in a more standard way and love it — but MT and WP are so different, I can’t wrap my head around how I’d get WP to work in this manner..
