Topic: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

The first stable approved release of 1.5 is finally available for download!
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/arras


Note that from this release onwards, the theme will be located in that URL. The 1.4 release of Arras will still be available (not sure if WordPress Themes Directory's people decide to remove it). here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/arras-theme/

Let's try to keep all replies regarding this release here. Thanks.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Congratulations!

For we noobs who have never updated a theme, do we just reinstall over 1.4? Is there anything else we need to do besides back up first?

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Since the theme is named as a different folder, I think you can try to install both versions side by side. However if you are to switch themes you should do a reset because 1.4 and 1.5 have different data classes to store the theme options.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Thanks for you fast response.  I am truly in awe of what you have created.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I think you are saying that since Arras Theme has had a "Theme"-ectomy that Wp will see it as a completely different theme, correct? If this is the case, do I just copy and paste the old user.css file on to the new? (And then, egads,  try to remember if there were any changes I made outside of user.css...)

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Yes, and yes you can copy over, though you *might* need to do some small adjustments to user.css since there are several changes to the CSS coding between the two versions.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Is anyone having issues with the Featured Stories Widgets??  They won't show any of the stories, the widgets will show correctly in the sidebar or bottom, and also work properly not showing on Homepage when selected, but the widgets have no content, even when selecting all Cats.  I'm currently testing the theme offline while I re-work it before going live.

**edit* The tabbed widget seems to be working fine though.

I am also having an issue with the Featured Stories Widgets not showing any content. On my test site it does show the text but not the images, on my live site it shows no content at all.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Also on the whole Featured Widgets thing.  I'm testing on a clean install of WP 3.0.1, no plugins running.  The widget was fine with earlier beta builds

big_smile Yeah, this will make me glad, too big_smile

Does Arras 1.5 works (free of bugs) with some Child-Theme Version?

Thumbs up

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

It does work with most Child Themes. The rewriting I have to do are related to my custom slideshow, the custom tapestries and the extra featured post sections I included in my Child Theme. The slideshow was fixed within a minute, the other two will take some more time.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

A little more on the Featured Story Widget front.  It seem the widget works fine if you DON'T select a parent category, it seems to only work with the child categories.  This wasn't the case in older releases.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

I am having a different issue with the Tabbed Sidebar Widget:

In my setup I have selected the following tabs -> Popular, Tags, Comment, Featured. I have also selected that the widget should be display on all pages.
On the home page everything works correctly. However, when I click on any post, the content of the Featured tab is 8 instances of the current post. I've attached an image showing the problem.

Also, it would be nice to be able to select 'None' as the options for the tabs so we are not forced to have all 4 tabs be used.

I have maybe find issue solution :

in line 216 you found this :

function _chain_update_posttypes(&$posttype, $new_posttype, &$taxonomy, &$category = null) {

and delete this caractere -->>>  &    like this :

function _chain_update_posttypes($posttype, $new_posttype, $taxonomy, $category = null) {

It's was okay now for me but this is normal ? can some developper can say me if it was a good modification ?

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Does the topbar need to be build from 'categories' or can I change that into pages?

edit: found it. You can change settings in the menus menu on the top left.

It seems that the featured slideshow doesn't fit anymore on the 3 columns lay out.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Why upgrade to 1.5? 1.4.1 works great for me, so I was just wondering what is included in 1.5 that would make me want to upgrade?

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 Now Available

Better support for custom post types, custom taxonomies, the selection of multiple categories in the slideshow/featured post section. And an extra featured post section.
