LetoPrime - WordPress Theme

Submitted by david on 12 June 2006 - 1:17am

NOTE: LetoPrime is NOT compatible with WordPress 2.3 yet.

I'm please to announce the release of my first WordPress theme, LetoPrime.

Features:

  • selectable header (7 included)
  • widget support
  • built-in support for Ultimate Tag Warrior (but works great without it!)
  • fixed width, sidebar on right design we've all come to know and love smiley
  • help documentation
  • ajax commenting


About the headers... All the images in the headers were taken by me and represent three states and two countries. If you happen to use them in a different theme or such, please let me know. (I'm rather fond of them.) And since this theme is GPL, you're free to reuse them.

There's a blank header file called, surprisingly enough, headerblank.png which, if you have a decent photo/graphic program (photoshop, fireworks, etc.) you can create your own custom header. (As long as the program lets you slide your image behind the template.)

ThankYouThankYouThankYou to Ozh for the Theme Toolkit and Joen Asmussen for the Fauna theme, since without both of them, I'd never have been able to get the selectable headers to work! smiley And to Mark James' FamFamFam silk icon set.

Download
download Download LetoPrime 0.9.6
Please note that the file size is rather large for a theme (about 250Ksmiley. This is due to the header graphics (seven of them.)

About this Version
0.9 was the first beta release of LetoPrime. It works well in all modern browsers, and all the real bugs should be gone. 0.9.6 upgrades the commenting of the theme (something I was never crazy about in the older versions.) But before I give it the coveted 1.0 version number, I want to make sure things work well. And as of 0.9.6 they seem to.

Changelog
August 15th: 0.9.6 - added ajax comments, changed comment graphics and style, and added a grey and blank footer.
July 17th: 0.9.5 - fixed tag.php and padding around images. Details and changed files here.
June 11th: 0.9.1 - fixes wrong code for comments in index.php, archive.php, search.php, tag.php, category.php
June 11th: 0.9.0 - Initial Release

ToDo
clean-up css
redo comment style
get it to validate. (It almost validates, but if validated, it breaks the theme. Go figure.)

WPGallery2 Embeddedness
Aylwin has created a version that works with a Wordpress Gallery2 plugin. You can read about it and download the g2 theme HERE.

Please note that I do not use Gallery 2, or the plugin for it, and I can't guarantee that I can help with support for this.

About Support
If you have any support type questions/concerns, please use my message board. Comments really aren't for support. But you're free to leave comments!

Nice looking theme. I have been some work with WordPress 2+ themes and sidebar Widgets. Very time consuming.

Thanks for this great theme.

I am having trouble changing the header graphic. I change the filename in style.css, but the picture doesn't change. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

it's explained in the readme.html file. (I assume you found out how to change the image name in the presentation/letoprime page of the admin options.

I can't seem to change the amount of space around an image with your theme. I've adjusted padding, and everything here to no avail:

img.alignleft {
padding: 6px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}

7px should be fine for the space between picture and text, but it seems to be ignored, whatever number I put in. Advice?

change it to
img.center, img[align="right"] {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright, img[align="right"] {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}

img.alignleft, img[align="left"] {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}

Thanks David,

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was using the WYSIWYG editor for aligning the image, which uses align="right". I had to go to html to change the class instead.

I'n not good at coding, but will the above changes make the default align=left the same as class=align.left?

This would be great for the WYSIWYG editor.

Thanks.

i'll have to look into it, since I don't use the wysiwyg editor.

I've been using LetoPrime for awhile now and am very satisfied with it and so apparently are my readers (the few I have...just moved recently to a Wordpress install and having to work up my page rank and rating again). I've noticed one anomaly and I wondered if you could help. All my "" tags are not showing up in any of my posts (the lines are gone between sections) since I've switched to your theme. The tags are there in the code but are not showing up in the blog itself (both Firefox and IE 7.0).

Is there something I need to do in order to have the tags show up? I do use the "" tag quite frequently to separate certain subjects within one post.

BTW, I am absolutely code ignorant but I can follow instructions ok. Just so you know.

Thanks

Okay, the "" wasn't correct. What I was referring to was the "hr" tag (this time without the carats) that is used to seperate parts of a post into it's own section.

kirk,

since I lost all my files in the Great Hard Drive Crash of 2006 I'm presenting this information untested and rather blindly.

In your style sheet, try defining an element for the hr tag, something like:

hr {colorsmileylack;} and see if that works. It may be best to use:
entry.hr {colorsmileylack;} or .entry hr {colorsmileylack;} or whatever name I gave it smiley

Hi David,

Thanks for the quick reply and info.

Strangely enough, while I found the correct section (tags and classes) to place the line of code and pasted and configured to no end and no result as well until I scrolled farther down the section and found
hr {display: none}.

Got rid of that and it solved the whole problem. No additional entries needed although if I want to ever put in a fat hr into my posts now I know how to do it.
