My First question: Is it possible to insert a block but only have the first 3 lines of text with the title.

Example:

MY TITLE OF BLOCK
Some text of a story goes here blah blah. The fox
jumps over the lazy dog blah.  read more>

OTHER BLOCK TITLE
Some text of a story goes here blah blah. The fox
jumps over the lazy dog blah.  read more>


Second question:

How to make these work:

1. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>
2. <?php echo Page::url(); ?>
3. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>

I'm in new to PHP and monstra, but I can see the potential this CMS has. The awesome part is it's simplicity. Is it possible to insert a {block get="slugname"} but only provide 3 sentences or intro sentences from the article with it's title?

Also, I'm tried using these tags:

1. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>
2. <?php echo Page::url(); ?>
3. <?php echo Page::available(); ?>

I didn't see any changes when I applied these to the template.
Any help on any of these question would be great. Thanks so much.

Installing Mamp is changing the permission inside the Terminal. The permission should be changed inside directory that holds the monstra.

Use command line to access sub-directories inside the parent directory that holds Monstra:

ls -la

Use this command line to change the permissions for sub-directories:
chmod -R 777 .htaccess

or chmod -R 777 .htaccess

Path is correct. This is what my path looks inside of MAMP:

/Users/waltwitty/Sites/localhost

localhost
- monstra (directory )
   - files
   - files

When clicking the administration link at the footer, I get this : http://localhost/projects/monstra/admin
I have no idea where the "projects" directory comes from. Before installation, I made sure all files were in the green before proceeding to install.

I am perplex on this one??? I tried going into the file and remove the directory path inside the PHP code. After doing that, it works and I can see the admin. Problem is, the css is not active and the login credentials don't save. I get a message that says the user doesn't exist... weird! I checked the database text file, it doesn't write a new user after installation.

I chmod using Terminal to change each file to 777, and still no positive results.

I tried installing Monstra on Mamp. It installs fine for the first step after chmod those specific files and directories. But after I tried login in, my username and password I first created during installation don't save.

In fact, what Monstra ends up doing is taking me to a totally different URL after clicking the administration link at the bottom of the footer:

IN MAMP: http://localhost/projects/monstra/admin

It's suppose to be http://localhost/monstra/admin

I noticed that the monstra site. I have gave 777 permissions to the sitemap.xml file. Is there something that I must have missed during installation? I also clicked on "create sitemap" in the setting. But still I'm getting the xml code instead.

I'm getting this:

<urlset>
<url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/network-and-consulting-it-services</loc>
<lastmod>2012-04-02</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>1.0</priority></url>
<url><loc>http://www.mysite.com/home</loc>
<lastmod>2012-05-17</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>1.0</priority></url>

<url>... and so on

Is there a way to enable site map? The site map currently is displaying xml tags instead of actual links from the site.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks a bunch

Great CMS!
Is it possible to enable a menu drop down? For example. My menu is:

Home | Services | About us

Services has submenus:

Services
- apps
- network
- pricing
