Topic: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

Since my Child Themes more or less have the same basics I've decided to create a Child Theme which has options enough to fill my needs for my Child Themes. It's available for download here: http://www.nullcore.nl/206/nullcore-2-0/

It's a first version which has some minor things I need to change/improve but it does work like it should.

Features:

- 4 extra post sections (which also will be available in the next incarnation of my efca plugin)
- an endless carousel (like I use on my animeblog)
- a little slideshow (like I use on nullcore.nl)
- extra tapestries for display on the front page
- options to alter what is displayed in a custom node based, custom quick preview & custom per line tapestry.
- extra sociallinks

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

Hi,
first of all thank you for your excellent guides..
and thank you for nullcore 2.0

I know nuts about css coding and child theme until 3 days ago.
and this is what I have come up with www.zaqrelphoto.com and to me although the website is in testing it is a great acomplishment.

I use firebug to aid me but I need some direction on a issue
On my website under featured post #2 I have
.posts-line {
    background: #000;
    border: 1px solid #CB0000;
}

#custom-line .entry-title {
    color: #DEDEDE;
}
#custom-line /*.entry-title*/ a:visited {
    color: #DEDEDE;
}
#custom-line /*.entry-title*/ {
    color: #DEDEDE;
}
#custom-line a:hover {
    color: #cc0000;
}

.posts-line .entry-comments {
    color: #DEDEDE;
}
.posts-line .entry-tittle {
    color: #DEDEDE;
}

I have achieved all accept when link in entry title is not visited i'd like to show the font colors as white.
i think currently it loads the default color...

sorry if i posted this in the wrong section or topic but i am running on nullcore 2.0

thanks

ps: at home i am running on mac,mozilla and firebug
is there a IE7 online type firebug cause at work im on vista and have no permission to install software

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

I've been informed that the author's site is down and that the download is no longer available. I'm making a relatively untouched download available of the latest release that I'm aware of.

https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v& … p;hl=en_US

Notes: To download click File>Download Original. Arras theme is required for use of child themes. I can only confirm compatibility up to 1.5.0.1 as that is what I use.

Please note that I am NOT the author of this child theme and I can only provide limited support as such.

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

I am just beginning to use WordPress and I am having trouble with the Arras Theme.

My question is. When you're in the Arras Options > Home Tab.

There is: Slideshow, Featured Posts #1, Featured Posts #2 and News Posts.

I select 3 post for Slideshow, 3 post for Featured Posts #1 and 5 posts for Featured Post #2 and Uncheck News

Posts, I click Save Changes and my site does not change.

It says Fatal Error at the bottom of the blog.

( Fatal error: Call to undefined function static_footer_pages() in /home/thebestj/public_html/wp-content/themes/arras/footer.php on line 24 )

Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

Help!
hmm

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

That doesn't sound right. Try a clean install once again.

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

I've tried this theme and it's broken. It also happens to be exactly what I need. This is the only theme that does what I want. Sod's law.

If I try using it, all the CSS except for the background and the logo basically goes away and I'm left with text. The formatting is there, but there absolutely no design to speak of. My navigation bar is also duplicated, one above the logo and one below it, and it appears in a list of plain text.

Unless there's another theme that replaces the navbar with rounded corners, puts the search bar in the navbar, detaches the logo and exposes it to the background and has space next to the logo for an adbox then I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise this is the only theme that does what I need or at least gets me onto easily adding what I need.

Tried reinstalling Arras/NullCore, purged cache, reset settings to defaults.

Provide a link to the site so that we might troubleshoot it.

Yes.

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

Everything appears perfectly fine for me. Can you provide a screenshot of the problem?

It's working? It just looks default to me. It's also adding unnecessary categories to the navbar, but that might just be me because I tried resetting to defaults to get it to work.

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

I guess it's not clear to me what you are expecting the nullcore theme to do. Those extra categories are probably there due to the wordpress menu system settings.

No, Nullcore isn't showing. It's just the default.

Re: Child Theme for Arras 1.5: NullCore II

You've activated it in the theme options?
