How to hide article’s content on the main page
As this template got ‘Read More’ function, you can probably hide some text from being displayed on the main page. Simply copy the highlighted code below, then access into ‘Settings’ and under the ‘Formatting’ tab, paste the code into the ‘Post Template’.
<span class=”fullpost”></span>
On the next time you write an article, you just need to add this line of code to hide the text. For example,After the
Zinmag Tribune Blogger template is a white professional magazine style template authored by Jinsona Design<span class=”fullpost”>This template has rich feature like featured content scroller and featured content glider</span>
Then the main page would show only the ‘Zinmag Tribune Blogger template is a white professional magazine style template authored by Jinsona Design’, while the other text is hid and only can be seen through ‘Read More’ click.
Configure the Featured Video Section on the top of the sidebar
Copy the video’s embed code link, then access into ‘Layout’ and under the ‘Page Element’, clicks on the ‘Edit’ of the ‘featured-video’, paste the code then ‘Save’ to show the video!
Your Youtube video’s embed code link is located below the profile of the video uploader, and you can adjust the <embed>’s width and height inside the code to fix the section size. The recommended size for this featured video section is 310 width and 255 height.
Configure the JavaScript-based Tabber on the sidebar
Copy the code below then access into ‘Layout’ and under the ‘Page Element’ tab, add a HTML/JavaScript gadget into the ‘Popular’ section then paste the code inside the gadget and edit it with corresponding item.
document.write(‘<ul style=”text-transform: capitalize;”>’);
var i;
for (i = 0; i < obj.count ; i++)
{
var href = “‘” + obj.value.items[i].link + “‘”;
var item = “<li>” + “<a href=” + href + “>” + obj.value.items[i].title + “</a> </li>”;
document.write(item);
}

}

Hi this template is really great and i have used it on my blog too http://www.musicvl.com but i have a query related to this template and would be grateful if you could make me clear on it.
I think i have also already asked you this question. Well, its said fancy templates are no that SEO friendly and this is the most fancy template and so now how SEO friendly is this template ???
Moreover this template is really taking time to load . Can’t we make it load faster ??
Waiting for your suggestions.
Thanks for your words! We have worked to improve this template’s SEO and come out with latest version, which you can download it here:
http://www.falconhive.com/2009/03/blogger-template-zinmag-tribune-20.html
Sure, you can make it loads faster by hosting the JavaScript on your own server, which you can find the suggestion site in the template file.
Hope this helps, enjoy Zinmag Tribune 2.0!

I get an error message on that above link. Error 404 not found.
I saved the template, but when I first tried to upload it to my template, I got an error message. The second time, I got a virus alert. The third time, I got the error message again as follows:
“Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.”
Am I doing something wrong or is this a coding problem? I am clicking on “choose file” then “upload”.
Just an fyi, when the browser screen is not set to max, your entire right columns get pushed down on bottom and you have a large white space on the right. When I click from the minimized size to the max, it goes back the way it should.
When i try to open the zip file it says that it cannot be opened because it is not a valid archive.
Thanks, you posted this on my birthday
Just noticed, there’s no search that’s why the images for the search don’t show up.
Also, there’s no “minibg.pg”
Hi
Its really very important for me.
I understand you guys must be pretty busy solving issues there. I will wait. No worries. But please do reply.
I am running a celebrity blog hosted by blogger.com (current template is Zinmag Remedy) But i really want to change my template and i want Zinmag Tribune(I like it a lot) But when i tried it, the images like above title image, subscribe buttons etc etc did not appear. (you can take a preview what happened: http://pimp-your-profiles.blogspot.com). Is this problem solvable??? because i really need this Zinmag tribune template for my celebrity blog (http://holly-bollymasala.blogspot.com). Please let me how can i fix these problems.
I would be waiting for your support.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
To fix the image missing issue, you can first upload all the image into the image hosting server like Photobucket.com, then access into ‘layout’ and under the ‘Edit HTML’ mode, press [CTRL+F3] to find the following code:
IMAGE-LINK-HERE/(image name)
Replace every ‘IMAGE-LINK-HERE’ with the corresponding image address, ‘Save’ to display the template properly!
Hope this helps!

yeah, there’s no search. and there’s something showing on the archive widget on the tabber: the ‘recent post’ header.
WOW. this is really an impressive conversion. zinmag is truly a great series of templete and this is this the highest quality of conversion you can get. thanks alvaris.
hi,
can you tell me how to edit the “HEADLINES TODAY” image or text??
Create a new image in photoshop.
Find the image that goes to “Headlines Today” in your image folder and use it as a template to change it.
OK, I managed to fix the bugs, but now something else is weird.
Here’s the posts are the posts, and they are showing up cut in the middle and I can’t read the rest.
http://805vigilantes.blogspot.com/2009/03/camarillo-wanted-for-attempted.html
It didn’t happen on my other practice blog:http://vigilantesdel805.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-11-24T15%3A59%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=1
I already checked my formatting settings as well, and I am assuming it’s in the html code but I looked and nothing looks weird.
Help please!
Ok, I solved my problem.
I upgraded to the new version. Much more easier to use!
;P
One problem I do have is that the content scroller doesn’t work right.
Instead of showing up horizontal and going across the screen, it lines up vertical.
How can I fix this?
Other than that, I want to thank your readers for helping me out in my previous problems.
Keep up the great work!
Won’t upload, and noone’s in a hurry to answer the previous query regarding how to upload. Please just post the html where it can be simply copied. Thanks.
Thanks for your report. Did you mean to upload the Tribune Blogger template to the Blogger? You can close your browser, clear the browser’s cache, then open the browser and try to upload the template until success.
Hope this helps, feel free to report any issue, thank you!
