two colours theme released

[costa]

hello everybody

after some hard testing (thanks testers!) i thing there is nothing to wait for and i'm going public with my little theme. ok, it's nothing very big and it's not a competition to carls hemingway but there is another one theme for serendipity's users. maybe somebody likes it.

take a look, download it, read some more about it

please read the README.TXT file (options explained) and please, send me some feedback about problems or plugins you want to be supported.

and above all - tweak it like hell to suit your needs!

Is the Polish language still hardcoded into the template? I seem to be having the same problems with the entries footer being in Polish.

[costa]

hello azel

no, it is not. i double checked it before release - it uses english language file by default and only if the blog's language is set to other language supported by theme (now only polish - anybody wants to translate it into other language? ) - the change happens.

did you overwrite ALL the files in the theme? if not - please, do so. style.css included. i mean, overwrite them ALL (okey, leave the graphics if you want) because there are some changes in couple of files. as i can see by now you did not overwrite your index.tpl file and style.css file . please, unpack the zipfile and upload all the files (just overwrite them) to server.

beautiful theme Costa

but how come you tube videos will not play in it?

i test with default theme & youtube videos play but
in 2 colors theme it does not.

thank u for a beautiful theme again

[costa]

thanks trishna

ok, let's see what the problem may be. i checked it - older youtube movies are running well. the newer ones are screwed up, you're right. let's see what we embed. first, the newer one:

Code: Select all

<object width="390" height="320"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/15XQx6PMv0U" name="movie" /><param value="transparent" name="wmode" /><embed width="390" height="320" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/15XQx6PMv0U" /></object>

and now the older one

Code: Select all

<object width="390" height="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ljZOHnZNaBc" /><embed width="390" height="320" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ljZOHnZNaBc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /></object>

those are just examples from my site: newer, older

the older one is working, the newer one is not. what is the difference? this nasty one:

Code: Select all

wmode="transparent"

i don't know what are those... new layers? hidden layers? damn it. ok, i'll try to do something with that althought i don't know where the problem could be. carl, help!

thanks for telling!

[judebert]

Does it work if we just take the <param value="transparent"... and wmode="transparent" out?

I found that wikidot had a similar problem. Nothing on the YouTube help page, though. And no references to "transparent" elsewhere in the source of your page.

[trishna]

thanks Costa & Judebert

i played around with it last night & if i remove some things, it works.

here is an example of a working one:

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5FPUOeqglmQ">
</embed>
<object width="350" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5FPUOeqglmQ">
</param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</param>
</object>

i am short on time so i will read your posts more fully later.

thanks again!

[judebert]

You should be able to skip the <embed> tag altogether if you add a data attribute to your <object>, like so:

Code: Select all

<object width="350" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/5FPUOeqglmQ">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5FPUOeqglmQ">
</param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</param>
</object> 

[trishna]

ok more time to write now

if i take out the transparent stuff out, it works perfectly

thanks again jude & costa!

I want to use the 3rd navbar at the "end" footer-zone of the template "Two Colours Theme by CoSTa. In the plugin menu of the backend, i can see the left, hide and right one to place the plugins only. What can i do to add this.
Sorry about my bad english.

Thanks a lot for help.

Hi Olaf,

I think for the bottom sidebars to show up, you must have 1.1 beta4 or higher installed.

[Olaf]

Well, i got the 1.1 beta4. It is recomended for this Template Version.

[carl_galloway]

the three columns you mention are always there, and the extra columns get added to the side of them, depending on the screen resolution you're using, you might not see the extra columns. You might have to scroll to the side to see them or increase your screen resolution. Garvin hasn't yet had the time to fully finish off the column selector, so bugs like these are still there.

If resolution is the problem, could you let us know?

[Olaf]

Hi Carl,

i have a screen resolution of 1280x1024 and i didn't can scroll to the side.
All i have to see is this. Here a screenshot http://blogtxt.de/uploads/Blogbilder/2007/backend.jpg.

[azel]

Olaf,

Go to your template configuration. The last line should be a text box where the sidebar names are specified. They should say right, hidden, left, bt1, bt2, bt3 (or your language equivalent). I also had this problem, and it was due to the bottom sidebar names being incorrect (so they should be bt1, bt2, bt3). You should be able to change them to the correct names.
