Ported: i3theme

[yellowled]

Yeah, well, it's me again

As sort of a request by someone who has earned the right to request a theme port because of his contributions to our little blog engine (Guess who?), I have ported i3theme, a very special template which enables users to move around the sidebar plugins of a blog using this template. It's also a Mac look design which would be perfect for any Mac-related blog

Details in my release announcement post (German and English available). This will be made available via spartacus, so you'll have to wait the usual 24-48 hours until it's actually available (unless you're lucky to have cvs access).

Porting this has been a lot of fun, using it also is. Hope you like it, too

Hi!

I love it, well done port. I'm thinking very hard on creating a blog where I can use this

Regards,
Garvin

Wow, that's beautiful.

Of course, what else does one expect from a Mac theme?

It's also slow on my computer. The boxes try to rearrange themselves nicely, they slide around, but it's very jerky. And you can't move boxes between columns.

That doesn't make it very much less impressive. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. Fantastic work!

I think it depends on ... well, something It's pretty slow on my local Apache, too, but I got a short look at Garvin's dev blog via dyndns, and it seemed faster there. Maybe it depends on the number of sidebars, sidebar plugins, blog entries, browser ... no idea. Anyway, that's why I added an option to deactivate the javascript.

Thanks a lot

Just for the record: It is available via Spartacus now

Hi Yellowled,

I am a huge fan of your work, and am using i3theme currently.
I have just noticed that my feeds were broken, it looks like you need to add serendipityRewritePrefix to the feeds in index.tpl

Code: Select all

...
title="{$blogTitle} RSS feed" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}{$serendipityRewritePrefix}feeds/index.rss2" />
...
title="{$blogTitle} Atom feed"  href="{$serendipityBaseURL}{$serendipityRewritePrefix}feeds/atom.xml" />

These are defined in each of the sidebar blocks.

Thanks again for a great port

These are defined in each of the sidebar blocks.

Erm ... that is literally the code used to add those feeds in the index.tpl of the i3theme. Actually, this code is (or at least should be ) used for that in any s9y template. Maybe you were using an older version of the theme before?

And what's this about the sidebar blocks? Elaborate, please. Maybe it's too late my time, but I don't get this.

Sorry to confuse you, I may have an older version, but the meta block in the sidebar has

Code: Select all

{if $template_option.layout == 'ssb'}
        <div id="sidebar-right" class="dbx-group sidebar-right-ssb">
        {if $rightSidebarElements > 0}{serendipity_printSidebar side="right"}{/if}
            <div id="meta" class="dbx-box">
                <h3 class="dbx-handle">Meta</h3>

                <div class="dbx-content">
                    <ul>
                       <li class="rss"><a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}feeds/index.rss2">{$CONST.ENTRIES} (RSS)</a></li>
                       <li class="rss"><a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}feeds/comments.rss2">{$CONST.COMMENTS} (RSS)</a></li>
                       <li class="login"><a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}serendipity_admin.php">{$CONST.LOGIN}</a></li>
                   </ul>
                </div>
            </div><!-- /#meta -->
        </div><!-- /#sidebar-right -->
{/if}

Ah. Got it. I'll address this asap. Thanks for the feedback, Steve

Hi YL,

I hope the trip to the salt mines was good, because I have a few minor issues for you .

In commentform.tpl

Code: Select all

<label for"email"><strong>{$CONST.EMAIL}</strong></label>

should be

Code: Select all

<label for="email"><strong>{$CONST.EMAIL}</strong></label>

and

Code: Select all

<p><textarea rows="10" cols="100%" id="serendipity_commentform_comment" name="serendipity[comment]" tabindex="4">{$commentform_data}</textarea>
           <br />
          {serendipity_hookPlugin hook="frontend_comment" data=$commentform_entry}<br /></p>

needs to change to stop the validator moaning about nesting divs inside <p> block

Code: Select all

<p><textarea rows="10" cols="100%" id="serendipity_commentform_comment" name="serendipity[comment]" tabindex="4">{$commentform_data}</textarea></p>
           <br />
        {serendipity_hookPlugin hook="frontend_comment" data=$commentform_entry}<br />

In entries.tpl to stop duplicate ID tags

Code: Select all

<a id="trackbacks"></a>
<h3 id="h3-trackbacks">{$entry.trackbacks} {$CONST.TRACKBACKS}</h3>

should be

Code: Select all

<a id="trackbacks"></a>
<h3 id="h3-trackbacks">{$entry.trackbacks} {$CONST.TRACKBACKS}</h3>

also

Code: Select all

<a id="comments"></a>
<h3 id="comments">{$entry.comments} {$CONST.COMMENTS}</h3>

should be

Code: Select all

<a id="comments"></a>
<h3 id="h3-comments">{$entry.comments} {$CONST.COMMENTS}</h3>

[yellowled]

Are you kidding? I'm still in there!

Code: Select all

<label for="email"><strong>{$CONST.EMAIL}</strong></label>

Typo. Yay, and it was in plugin_contactform.tpl, too. Fixed and committed.

Hm, that's gonna take a little longer because I'll also need to adapt the stylesheets for that.

Thanks again, Steve.

Thanks, I was just about to post about the contact form, but you beat me to it

The trackback H3 is not styled, but I missed the comment H3 - thanks - changed locally.

The only warning I have is that the title does not translate & to & but it does for other pages. The error is from

Code: Select all

<title>Contact  - The life & grumbles of Steve Forster</title>

I am sure that the problem is with static pages, will dig a little further....

EDIT
The offending code is in serendipity_event_contactform.php

Code: Select all

if ($this->selected()) {
$serendipity['head_title']    = $this->get_config('pagetitle');
$serendipity['head_subtitle'] = htmlspecialchars($serendipity['blogTitle']);
}
break;

Just added htmlspecialchars() function around the blogTitle.
