Cannot for the life of me find a readme or license file other typical documentation file in the downloaded secondary theme folder, nor on your site - could you give me a link or email as I'm unsure how to get the best out of the theme (for instance I'm not managing to get the slider function to work, so I'm sure I need some particular tag or custom field).
It's a really good theme and I'd like to extend it...

No particular custom filed needed,
just set a cat in backend with enough posts (6 or more)
so the slider will work, same with domtabs.Open header.php file to edit this text:
milo317 WordPress Theme
easy to find, its under the site description. -
Hi Milo - thank you for coming back so quickly.
I've done as you suggested but have multiple issues(note though that some posts have more than one category, but all 7 post have the 'Conversation' category and will not work through slider) .
1) Code leaking into the display when captions are written for images.
2) Slider squashing images (not sure whether it matters if the images are uploaded from computer or set from media library or given as URL)
3) Seems to be a limit of 3 posts down on first page, would like to extend that to 4 or 5.
4) If a post doesn't have an image the text is still kept to the left in the home page view, with a hole where the other posts' images are (i.e. do we need to make sure posts have images to be featured.)You can see these at http://coachflakes.com
I await your suggestions :-)

Figured out:
1) - it is the css for the drop cap picking up the caption code - solution is not to float an image from the top line with a caption. Either float an image from the top line with no caption, or let the text go first and then insert the image (with caption if wanted) later in the post.4) - assuming each post needs an image somewhere for it to pick up and fill the right hand side of the summary post on the front page: perhaps need a default or a conditional to allow those posts with no images to fill across..
Leaving the squished slider up - is this possibly an incompatibility between mootools and something else (had this elsewhere with JQuery)?
regards,
Philip -
Slider and its js (mootools) is interfering with one of your plugins,
I think it's the gd star plugin and this js call
.../wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/script.js.php?ver=1.7.5 -
I'll set a new install just with your theme and see how I get on.

I've removed all plugins, stil fails. I think it is still a mootools incompatibility issue, but as WP 2.8+ comes with JQuery etc. bundled in I think I'm a bit stuck. Clearly somewhere some JQuery js is being loaded into the page ahead of the mootools.
Any ideas welcome...
Philip
Sorry, I meant JQuery is being loaded AFTER - I can see it in the header... I'll cut it out and see what happens... -
Right, Success!
Little bit of code added, and making sure the posts in the featured catalogue all have an image seems to have done the trick - just a little css to do now...Thank you for the help, (and for the theme design, much appreciated).

Can you pls post your solution, then I can apply it to the theme.

I've tracked it down to being a fault with one of the posts, not a java library incompatibility... I can't immediately see the problem with the post, it shows up etc. fine but changing category for it it to be in the featured category for the slider breaks the slider. The post has no image, but I've tested that with another wih no image and the slider still works. So, as it is I'll run some other tests on the rogue post over the weekend.
I had found this thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/272066, put this piece of code in
if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"), false, '1.3.2');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
into the header.php file supplied in your theme - BUT then I took it out again to check and the slider still worked (and is now).
- I have returned the code to the normal stock code and the slider is still working.

The script won't do much on frontend if used within a theme
as is says on first line
if( !is_admin()){
so it only works with admin viewing.
