This entry was posted on 2 August 2008 at 12:21 and filed under Arthemia Free v2.0 Released: The Updates
2.08.08 at 12:21 in Wordpress and Themes # 291 CommentsThis is the new version of Arthemia Free. I’ve done some changes in the post list in the front page, solve some CSS problem, added the thumbnail feature for post list in front page, archive, and search page, modify the comment list style, and added the WP-PageNavi plugin support. Pages and sub-pages in the top navigation bar are now shown automatically.
The Updates
Automatic page listing and new search button in navigation bar.
The new Arthemia can list pages in your blog automatically. Unlike the old one, you do not have to hard-code the PHP file if you update your page title and structures. Drop-down lists will show sub-pages so do not forget to assign the page parent in the page editing panel. I added a fixed-sized search button (the magnifier) to overcome CSS incompatibilities across browser. Anyway, there is a consequences of this automatic page listing feature, if you have too many pages in your blog, all of them will be displayed here and the design will break.
Minor changes in CSS styling.
I did some minor changes in heading styles especially for single post pages. I simplify the design and get rid of the icons. The WP-Email and WP-Print plugin are not used anymore in this theme due some incompatibility issues. To show the number of view in a post, you still need the WP-PageView plugin from Lesterchan.net. I added a black-colored breadcrumbs feature in every page, including single posts, pages, archive, and search page. If you want to show author name, category, and tags, you can edit the file single.php and add the commands.
Working thumbnails in front page, archive, search page.
Post are listed along with its thumbnails while the post list uses the excerpt feature from WP. By default, excerpt is the first 55 first words of the post content but due to some aesthetic consideration, I modify the function.php file to make custom excerpts showing 90 first words of the page. Thumbnails are now working in all pages and are generated automatically. It is 150 pixel-square-sized thumbnails, with a 1 pixel border, and 2 pixels padding. You can find these thumbails in the front page (bottom-left), archive page, and search page.
A new style of comment list.
I was a little bored with the old style of comment list so I do some minor changes in it. Gravatars now have borders and taken outside the gray comment box. The gravatar was 45 pixels square and I added 5 more pixels. If you want to modify the comment template to your own liking, you can go to the comment.php and style.css and edit the templates anyway you like it.

Hi,
I was wondering if you can integrate your WordPress template with Joomla or other CMS applications. If so, did you create any? Thank you.
I want to build new wordpress blog and this themes was the most suitable one.
My thumbnails seems to be working fine, but the image on the HEADLINE version of a post is out of proportion.
How do I fix this?

hello! I couldn’t get the categories thumbnails to show, is there something that I’m coding wrongly?
Thanks.
I’m pretty sure the problem is on the archives.php file.
You have to look on the archive.php file to fix this issue.
Hope this can give you a hint.

My categories are either not appearing, or only some are appearing in the middle section? Any suggestion?
I am using WP 2.7 is that the issue?
Thanks.
You must read the notes about the steps after installation. There are some manual customization that U must do to make this theme work optimally. In my blog, there’s no problem.
You have to do some hardcode thing in your template file.
In your index.php file, look for this line :
You have to change the cat number in this code. From the above code, we can tell : “display posts in all category except posts from category 29, 28, 27, and 26″
You only have to change the category id that you wish not to be displayed.
P.S. Sorry fo my bad English. ^^
regards,
Sukses

I am having problem get the thumbnails to show.. I follow the instruction and created a custom filed title “Image”
But still nothing. I am utilizing WP v.2.6.5. Can you help?
No, you don’t. I’ve checked your website and you still write the incorrect value in the field. Start with wp-content/xx/xx and remove you blog top domain.

great, i like it~
Hi, I’m loving the template, especially how easy it is to understand! I do have a problem though that I hope you can explain:
Why won’t the paragraph breaks show up on the homepage? It seems like no matter what I do, the text on the homepage comes out as a big block, instead of having line breaks.
Also, is there a way to create links from homepage articles to other pages? When I try adding a “learn more” link in a post, it doesn’t end up as linked when it appears on the homepage.
Thanks so much for this template.
Yes, that is what excerpt is. Excerpts are automatically generated from 55 words of a post and with all HTML tags stripped out. It’s WP basic function. And links are also removed, it seems your second questions is answered already.
Anyway, you can change
the_excerpt();tothe_content();to preserve all the formatting.You could also use the Excerpt Editor plugin, which keeps any formatting you include in the custom excerpt field when you write a post (or you can add it later for posts you’ve already written) and which allows a clickable “continue reading” link for excerpts as well.
