Answer: Go to Control Panel -> Design customization, and choose the necessary catalog page.

To create a sorted list of entries, you can use the following codes:
  • $TOP_LOADS_URL$ – a list of entries sorted by number of downloads;
  • $TOP_COMMS_URL$ – by number of comments;
  • $TOP_NEW_URL$ – by date;
  • $TOP_RATING_URL$ – by rating;
  • $TOP_READS_URL$ – by number of views.


Answer: The number of entries displayed in TOP lists can be set in the module settings: Control Panel -> File Catalog -> Module settings.



Answer: If you want to create a catalog without categories, check the option "Without categories" when installing the module.



If the module is already installed, you will have to delete it (save all entries first), and install it once again.

Answer: CAPTCHA (security code) is used to prevent spamming by robots. It does not prevent website visitors from adding posts.

You can change the type of CAPTCHA used on your website in Control Panel -> Settings -> Common Settings -> Type of security code (captcha).



There are three CAPTCHA types in uCoz:
  • Standard - cannot be recognized automatically, simple enough for the human eye.
  • Complicated - cannot be recognized automatically, complicated for the human eye.
  • Simple - can be recognized automatically, simple for the human eye.


Answer: Yes, it is possible. You will need to edit the "Appearance of entries" template of the necessary module. E.g. to display Publisher entries in several columns, go to Control Panel -> Design customization -> Publisher -> Appearance of entries.

To display entries in two columns, add the following code:

Before the code of the template: <div style="width:50%; float:left;">
After the code of the template: </div>

To display entries in three columns, use width:33% instead of width:50%.


Answer:

Activating rating

You can activate the rating feature in Control Panel -> Publisher -> Module settings: check the box near the option "Enable "Entry rating" feature".

You can set permissions for the user groups in Control Panel -> Users -> User groups -> the group you need.

To allow users to rate entries, activate the option "Rate entries" for the Publisher module.



Rating entries

Now website visitors can rate Publisher entries on your website.



Answer: To add the "Read more" link, go to Control Panel -> Design customization -> Publisher -> Appearance of entries.

<br/><div style="text-align:right;"><a href="$ENTRY_URL$" title="Read more $TITLE$">Read more...</a></div>

Now there will be the "Read more" link displayed after entry brief descriptions.

Paste the code of the corresponding additional field, e.g. $OTHER1$, where you want it to be displayed.

Now short game descriptions will be displayed in the corresponding places.
