In reply to: Gigantic project gone madSry esmi, I’m new to this… hope this isn’t “off topic” in this thread though:
If you definitely want to create the theme from scratch, then I recommend that you build it as static pages first, using only html and css.
THAT is exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out how to do! As I understood from others I spoke to, WP was the best option for me to create the website we initially wanted to create in Dreamweaver.
But I never figured out how to make the design complete in DW and transfer/apply it in WP, therfore I sat down with the tutorial on building a “blank” theme. It is the search engine-function in WP that is the most valuable for us, as we will create a great deal of info for our end-users to search through.Now: am I on the right track now when I paste my html into a custom template page.php (as “frontpage” mentioned above) or am I doing it more difficult than I have to?

In reply to: Gigantic project gone madThx a lot. I’ve done the tutorial now and understand a lot more of WP.
I’m currently struggeling with my frontpage.
I went to adminpanel, created new page called “home”, linked it to a custom template page file (named frontpage.php) where I pasted my html. The “home”-page is static, the link is sort of functioning, but not all of my html is showing…
So I tried to add a custom css-file for the template page file (named frontpage.css) and I’m struggeling to trying to apply this into header.php (as I’ve learned is the right place to “toggle” css-files…<?php if (is_template('frontpage.php')){ //load special css for "frontpage" ?> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo( 'template_url' ); ?> /frontpage.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <?php else (is_template('index.php')) //load regular "style.css" ?> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?> type="text/css" media="screen" />Am I placing it in the wrong place or what? (Been doing this all day now, so I might be just a little bit cross-eyed 😛 )
I put it in header.php directly after:
?><!DOCTYPE html> <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <head> <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title> <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">[Moderator Note: Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button.

In reply to: Gigantic project gone madHi, and thx for your reply 🙂
I thought I posted a reply for you the same day this your answear was posted, but my reply is gone, so I’ll try again 🙂I’m now about to finish a great tutorial by ThemeShaper creating a “blank” theme for future re-use (http://themeshaper.com/2012/10/22/the-themeshaper-wordpress-theme-tutorial-2nd-edition/)
The turorial is very well written and explained and I learn a lot in no time. But this covers only the basics for me, as the custom design is yet to be built. And this is where I will need help. And probably a lot of it. (It was Kathryn P. at ThemeShapers who reffered me to this forum, and I hope I’ll find my answears here.)
I forgot to say in my initial posting that I’ve played a little with WP before, but this project is too big to “just” alter/customize an excisting theme, and that is why I thought ThemeShapers tutorial was so great.
I’m able to find my way in html and css as I’ve done a little bit of both before, so I will understand solutions or suggestions that envolves some skills in either one of them.
It may certanly seem as too big a task for a rooky like me, but it needs to be done, so I have no other choice but to make i!It is the functions themselves that makes this website, and therefore I cannot give in and go for anything less than what we’ve created. It is the functions that will bring us funding, and it is essential for this demo to provide them.
So, any advice is greatly appreciated by this norwegian novise 🙂
