NOTE This is my first working version – it will still be tweaked.
OK, this is my first theme for WordPress 1.3 so please be gentle.
Partially engineered from Kubrick, much code and all design by Matthew.
If you notice anything broken in the CSS (more than likely) or you have some useful tweaks then please contact me, or by email.
Installation
You need WordPress 1.3 for this theme to work, when installed if you dont have a ‘themes’ folder within ‘wp-content’ then create one. Next drop the ‘mallow’ folder into this new ‘themes’ folder. Now log in to your Wordpress install and click the ‘Presentation’ tab. Near the bottom you should see ‘mallow’, simply activate it.
Just a few notes
Open and alter the images at your will. Theres also an admin and noted user ‘feature’ for comments. It will by default highlight the admins comments (uses the email address in ‘Options-General’) and you can also add ‘noted’ which will be slightly less highlighted than admin comments. Within the comments.php file, look at this bit;
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) :
$commentnumber = ($commentnumber + 1);
$normal = true;
$isNoted = false;
$isByAuthor = false;
$admin_email = get_settings("admin_email");
if($comment->comment_author_email == $admin_email) {
$isByAuthor = true;
$normal = false;
}
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'noted1@noted.com') {
$isNoted = true;
$normal = false;
}
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'noted2@noted.com') {
$isNoted = true;
$normal = false;
}
?>
Changed ‘noted1@noted.com‘ and ‘noted2@noted.com‘ to email addresses whose comments you which to be highlighted. Too add address, take these lines
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'noted2@noted.com') {
$isNoted = true;
$normal = false;
}
…and copy and paste them below themselves… hopefully that makes sense. Then change the address to the new noted address.
That should be all I think
Matthew.
*Edit:* I need to check this for W3DC compliance stuff thingamyjig and CSS. Also need to find a way to reduce the gap betweed that blue bar with the search in it and the first post on the left if theresd not more than one page – IE doesnt have the Next Page / Prev Page links, if you dont know what I mean then dont worry.
