I would like to format my "updates" page such that it looks like all my other album pages. The current updates page format can be seen at http://forevercatherine.us/media/updates/ . I want it to look like this: http://forevercatherine.us/media/v/award/04Oscars/ (same imageframe & 4 columns wide). Formatting the updates page so that it contains the same number of rows as the theme & has multi-page capability would be nice but is not mandatory. I've tried emulating the code found in album.tpl but have been completely unsuccessful.

Thanks for any suggestions!

You need to change the updates CSS so it fits the CSS of the standard pages. If you go into the Updates link in Administration, there is a "Custom CSS" filed. This is where you want to add the CSS. You are probably interested mainly in the div.updates-item tag.

Thanks for the tip about using custom css within the updates module. My updates page looks much better now.

I'm trying to modify the updates module/theme to show links to jump to pages instead of just first/previous/next/last. I'd like something like

<< first < previous 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 next > last >>

or perhaps when there are many pages

<< first < previous 20 30 40 50 60 70 next > last >>
