I only get two thumbnails in one row. That looks weird.

Thanks

Maybe it's just me, but I think for the featured posts you need to get rid of the word limit and set a height function and adjust it such that it automatically trims the words back to a number that best fits the height. It basically just depends on the title of your post. I just get some weird styling when I change the word limit.

I'm really liking the new background image functionality. I'm also liking the new footer setup.

A new idea - create a function that lets you choose the width of the header and nav area. I'm thinking either 100% or custom px or %. Any other thoughts on this?

Good job ZY!

Still investigating 1.4.2 RC...

Zy, great stuff.  Why don't the images center on the front page slider like they used to for 1.36?  I think it looks much better having the images centered. 

Also, I don't know why you changed the nodes from 1.36.  I think a lot of people liked the way they looked and there didn't seem to be any issues with the number of words showing.

Anyway, thanks for all your hard work.  I switched from Arras and will go back once all of the bugs are worked out.  I didn't have time to keep upgrading and adjusting the new templates.

cheers.

I'd still really really like the option to create one more category on the front page.

Excellent, my friends, excellent! Now when should we expect 1.4.2 final to come out? Or has it already been submitted to wordpress themes directory?

I believe he is talking about how in the latest version of Arras the images in the slider now default to a top left alignment if the image is smaller than the recommended size (2 column 630x250) as before they were centered within the slider.

Code improvment possibility :

get_the_author_ID is deprecated since version 2.8! Use get_the_author_meta('ID') instead.

the_author_description is deprecated since version 2.8! Use the_author_meta('description') instead. 

__ngettext is deprecated since version 2.8! Use _n() instead. 

upload a picture to /arras-theme/images (in this code its called nothumb.jpg, but you can change that of course).

Open template.php.
Replace

         $thumbnail = get_post_meta($id, ARRAS_POST_THUMBNAIL, true);
        
        if (!$thumbnail) {
            return false;

with:

 $thumbnail = get_post_meta($id, ARRAS_POST_THUMBNAIL, true);
        
        if (!$thumbnail) {
        
        switch($size) {
                case 'sidebar-thumb':
                    $w = 36;
                    $h = 36;
                    break;
                case 'featured-slideshow-thumb':
                    $w = 640;
                    $h = 250;
                    break;
                case 'featured-post-thumb':
                    $w = arras_get_option('featured_thumb_w');
                    $h = arras_get_option('featured_thumb_h');
                    break;
                case 'news-post-thumb':
                    $w = arras_get_option('news_thumb_w');
                    $h = arras_get_option('news_thumb_h');                
                    break;
                case 'archive-post-thumb':
                    $w = arras_get_option('news_thumb_w');
                    $h = arras_get_option('news_thumb_h');                
                    break;
                default:
                    $w = get_option('thumbnail_size_w');
                    $h = get_option('thumbnail_size_h');
            }
            
            return get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/library/timthumb.php?src=' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/nothumb.jpg' . '&w=' . $w . '&h=' . $h . '&zc=1';

I checked your option, that doesn't take.

The code I gave also looks at the options people use to get the correct size.

ZY could you expand on this I don't quite follow. the site im working from is film.falmouth.ac.uk

Ideally i'd just like another category in between the new releases and DVD releases section.
