Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP for a non blog website?hi gaje… I’ve been quite busy, sorry. Anyway, here’s the basic concept behind it:
The “thumbnails” are actually paragraphs enclosed in DIV tags (I edit the HTML on each post, taxing, but works) that has the border and float attributes. Then right under that DIV tag is
<!--more-->I made the category “archive” pages show the_content instead of the usual the_excerpt. So that way, the float attribute of the DIV tag within the blog post applies, making them seem to “tile.”
You know…I think I might make this into a full post in my blog 🙂 I’ll update you on it, I just need to get some work out of the way.

In reply to: photos in WP2Hi Sabal. I think it’s because when you clicked on “Send to Editor,” the settings where “Using Thumbnail” that’s why it’s small and becomes stretched when you resize it. When you use that setting, WP automatically creates a thumbnail for you.
To do this, just make sure you change the settings to “Using Original.” Left-click on the thumbnail in the Browse All area (the one underneath the post editor where your uploaded photos are shown). Click on the “Using Thumbnail” default settings until it becomes “Using Original”. And that’s when you select “Send to Editor.”

In reply to: Different Single template for one categoryThanks for the link, Moshu! 🙂
Just one question though… Will it affect the layout I made for the different category pages? Say, will it affect category-5.php?

In reply to: WP for a non blog website?syncbox: sure, no problem. i’ll have to finish my article on photoblogs first though 🙂
davidchait: there’s a actually a plugin in development that hopes to do that: (http://www.semiologic.com/software/shopping-cart/). I haven’t seen any developments on it though.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP for a non blog website?WP could definitely handle something like that. I’ve actually done the same thing already for my invitations business, http://www.filipinoartisans.com
I agree with Davidchait. You might be better off with static HMTL pages. I only used WP so I can easily change prices, descriptions, and photos… But setting up the “Product Page” is a bit tricky. I had to specify DIV tags within the HTML view of the Write Post editor to make it look the way it is.

In reply to: themes: I want to learn more! Point me in the right direction?The best place for you to start with is on styling DIVs.
This process that I use may work for some people, for some they will not.
The first thing I do is design the theme in Photoshop. Once satisfied, I then start coding the design using CSS. DIVs will be a great help here, especially if you’ve been familiar with using tables for layouts before CSS was invented.
It really depends on how you learn, actually. Some are content with reading tutorials, others learn better in a classroom setup. I actually learned CSS by deconstruction. I studied the codes of free templates, understood how they work, and the next thing I know, I’m already releasing my own themes to the public to deconstruct and customize 🙂
For the tabbed page menu, you can learn how to style LISTS to do that. The Pages links are generated by WordPress as an unordered list, so you’ll have to learn how to control lists in order to make them do what you want. If you want it to have some really fancy effect, your best bet would probably be AJAX.
Hope that helps!
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress to WordPress: Special casesamboll, I’ve tried that, and it worked perfectly for my posts. For my comments, it’s a different story. My WP considered the comments RSS as posts, so I had different posts containing only comments. Is it really like that or did I just do something wrong or forgot to do something?

In reply to: How to distinguish the newest post?Thanks so much Kafkaesqui. Really appreciate the help 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to distinguish the newest post?Ahhhh! I see. So it’s kind of like similar to the way the alternating comment styles is structured (but simpler of course)?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to distinguish the newest post?Yeah, how do you do that? I was thinking of using queries for this one (multiple loops), but the thing is, the example found on the Support pages is distinguishing a post from a specific category. All I want to do is to distinguish the latest post from ANY category. I guess that’s the same thing emmsii wants to do?
This is a shot in the dark, please correct me if I’m wrong. If I change the first query on the code found in Step 1 of multiple loops in action (http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops_Example_3_-_Plugins), to this code:
query_posts('showposts=1');… and then follow the rest of the instructions on Step 2, do think it will work?

In reply to: Colour advice pleaseHi Tony. I’m honestly not too familiar with sites that create graphics automatically ‘coz I create mine using Photoshop. I’ll drop a reply here if I stumble accross one though 🙂

In reply to: Dapit Hapon theme questionHi! If you have any questions on the Dapit Hapon theme, I’ll be more than happy to answer it. Just go to the theme’s dev site: http://www.filipinowebdesigner.com. I think I already addressed this question before:

Glad you liked the theme! 🙂
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Colour advice pleaseTony, you can try using CSS to style the button like what I have on my theme at http://www.filipinowebdesigner.com. Another option would be creating a graphic for the button, just like what I have in http://www.pixeliera.com. To do this, just change the HTML for your search button to this structure:
<input type=”image” src=”absolute path of image” alt=”” name=”submit” value=”sign up” align=”top”/>
For the text box, I really don’t know any other way for it to have a rounded corner except for putting it in a DIV tag with a non-repeating background image that has a rounded corner.

In reply to: Reviving the WordPress 2.0 Theme CompetitionYeah, that would be nice. I agree with Tswartz. I’m not that confident I’d win any awards with my theme (competition is really tough), but it would be great if this contest be given the same kind of attention like the “bogus” one.
Besides, if Justin really received 188 themes for the contest, the WordPress community deserves to be able to download all of them.
