Thanks for reply, got it here.

Let me dink around with it with and without the .mo file and see if that helps.

I love your work, by the way. Your white stage is producing some beautiful stuff.

Removing the Korean .mo files didn't fix anything. Have a look at a sandbox I'm using to test Secondary here.

I imported posts from my real blog, configured the five feature articles per the Read Me (minus sizing the pictures, for now), and it's giving me the errors you'll see if you visit.

I'm hoping we can fix this, because I really want to explore using either Secondary, Artfull, Typo, Tracks, or Speed on my real blog.

Thanks much,

C.

Okay, never mind. Something VERY strange with ftp'ing your theme to my server. seems it mixed up the function.php files. So ignore me for now. I'll shoot you a link when I gussy it up and make it presentable.

Take care :)

Sounds really strange, test site looks ok now,
just the article images and the slider needs configuration,
pls drop a line when it's running.

Just formatted all images to 530 x 260 as the Secondary Options panel says (but when I measure your demo page, the slider images are more like 510 x 280?), and it's not working.

Any advice? I've been at it for hours, not going to quit :)

Now I'm trying to add article images, resized a photo to 420 px, got this error when I tried to save in Custom Fields:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /PATH/wp-content/themes/Secondary/functions.php:110) in PATH/html/korean/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 770

This is on a second sandbox here. Actually, the article photo did just load, I discovered just now, but why the pluggable.php weirdness?

Thanks for your patience, man. I'm trying to make this work :)

Okay, almost there. Some problem in function.php, probably my mistake not yours.

Also feel free to delete comment about sliding image dimensions - I was wrong there too.

Everything getting smooth now, but one question: I've only got two feature articles, and they work in the slider, but it seems to cycle through the remaining three blank article slots before scrolling back to the two I made. How can I set the number of feature articles to show in the flash?

Check out the latest Korean version here, and again, those I've previewed it with agree: sharp and beautiful.

Looking good, slider dimensions are mentioned for 1024 px wide screens, but you can use bigger ones (in width) for bigger screen resolutions.

Using only two of the sliders will need some configuration through the functions file,
but why not use all of them and link to past content and/or pages or other sites?

One thing, because you have more text: adjust the log tag via CSS:

.log{color:#fff;font:bold 80% georgia,times new roman;height:200px;width:80px; position:absolute;left:8%;top:170px;}

as it's absolute positioned, you might need a top padding of 150px like so:

.log{color:#fff;font:bold 80% georgia,times new roman;height:200px;width:80px; position:absolute;left:8%;top:150px;}

Hi again,

Your advice above duly noted. I'm still in Sandbox phase.

One wish I have that I think you might agree is cool: put the Secondary "slider" on a page to use as the homepage, and have the feature articles link to other pages (or blog posts, I guess, would serve as well).

I'm planning to use Secondary less as an active blog than as a business web-page. I like the spaciousness of pages on the theme for this purpose.

How easy would it be to pull off the idea I'm trying to describe?

You can link each of the slides via the admin options under the img url,
to include the slider in pages you may have to edit the page php, or double it and name it different, then you'll add this line to the very top at the page php like so:

<div id="single" class="fix">

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/featured.php'); ?>

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/featured.php'); ?>

will reference the slider on the page template then.

I just installed your excellent Fog Theme on my site ( http://www.wauwel.nl ). Just 2 questions:
1. How can I move the left column next to the right column on the main page? (what's the correct code and where to place? )
2. I'm using a Flickr-widget, which shows some photo's from me. However, the last row of pictures isn't aligned correctly. Is this a widget issue or a Fog-theme issue?

Regards, Rein ( Wauwel )

1:
open index php and look for this line

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>

copy it, delete it and insert it right before the call to the right sidebar:

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>

so it'll look like this:

</div>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>

</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

save it, you have to do the previously mentioned steps in
page.php,search.php and single.php .

2:
need more info on that: browser? size? widget?

Hi

Please help me. I want to use your Garden theme and I'm having the following problems.

1) The Large fist letter on the post doesn't work for Chinese character. I can't find where I can remove this.

2) On the main content, is not showing the latest post. For example, today is the 7th. The latest post is on the 1st.

3) Slider, how does it work?

Thanks so much for your help. Please excuse me if these questions being answered previously in the forum.

First of all one little hint:
try to decrease the post number or images size on frontpage,
on dsl and it loads over 30 secs.

1.
Dropcaps:
open the stylesheet and find this lines and remove it:
.drop{float:left;font:3.5em georgia,serif;line-height:100%;margin:3px 8px 0 0;width:30px;text-align:center;}

2.
Did you read the ReadMe file?
please check it again and see the images attached, slider won't work without custom fields.

Article image (frontpage pics):

* 1. Find an appropriate image (max 500px width) and upload it through the post admin panel.
* 2. Upload it through WP post edit panel.
* 3. CUT und PASTE ONLY the image url, e.g.
* /wp-content/uploads/2007/09/vj.gif
* 4. Scroll to custom fields (WP edit post panel) + open the panel:
* 5. Edit KEY from left site : article_image
* 6. Insert in VALUE the image url
* 8. "Update"
* 9. More text in post
* 10. "Save and continue"
* 11. Check your post for errors, if no errors "Publish".

3.
Slider (if configured) will show first six posts,
then the content follows with the 7th post and later.

4.
You still have charset utf-8 enabled, please choose the right charset for the language,
i.e. chinese ( simplified EUC-TW ) or japanese ( EUC-JP )

5.
You have a few errors:
Site title is now wrapped in h3 tags (?)
Site title is an empty h3 tag (?)
Navi doesn't show up
Slider shows the posts on source, but not via browser

Seems like some customizing went wrong...
Compare the Orginal please

Hi this is qqsmap too

1) I don't know what you mean by "without custom fields" ? I re-read the readme file and couldn't find the answer.

2) I did all the steps of Article image (frontpage pics) and the slide doesn't show anything.

3) How do I configure the slide?

4) utf-8 is the best character setting for my blog. I tried to switch to Big5 and it doesn't work.

5) I reuploaded the header.php and the site title is working.

6) Navi doesn't show up because I didn't have that plugin. Now I have it and it couldn't be activate. The message say that it doesn't work with the function.php

Thank you so much for your help.

Well, disable your plugins and please try again,
as the functions file might interfere with plugins,
also the js files might interfere.

The navigation needs no plugin, the theme works out of the box.

Hi

The slides are working. Is because doesn't want with the WP Grins (clickable smilies) plug-in.
As you said, Slider (if configured) will show first six posts, then the content follows with the 7th post and later. Can that be modify?

Thanks for your help

Yes, either by applying your desired cat(s) id(s) to the slider loops,
or decrease the sliders.
You may also post teasers at the content by applying the "more" solution.

Hi

I'm not good at this at all.
Please further explain how do I do this.

I want the slider to have the first 6 posts while the content has the latest post.
How do I modify?

Sorry I really don't understand. Thanks in advance
