Adding something from another theme??

goto style.css

copy your the code under the frame – i m pasting it here – copy this code into your new themes style.css

/* Frame */

.frame-outer.aligncenter {
	text-align: center;
}

.frame-outer span {
	display: inline-block;
	background: url(images/frame-top-left.jpg) no-repeat left top;
}

.frame-outer span span {
	background: url(images/frame-bottom-left.jpg) no-repeat left bottom;
}

.frame-outer span span span {
	background: url(images/frame-top-right.jpg) no-repeat right top;
}

.frame-outer span span span span {
	background: url(images/frame-bottom-right.jpg) no-repeat right bottom;
	padding: 32px;
	min-width: 150px;
	min-height: 150px;
	text-align: center;
	overflow: hidden;
}

.frame-outer span span span span * {
    max-width: 425px;
}

.frame-outer.small span {
	background: url(images/frame-top-left-small.jpg) no-repeat left top;
}

.frame-outer.small span span {
	background: url(images/frame-bottom-left-small.jpg) no-repeat left bottom;
}

.frame-outer.small span span span {
	background: url(images/frame-top-right-small.jpg) no-repeat right top;
}

.frame-outer.small span span span span {
	background: url(images/frame-bottom-right-small.jpg) no-repeat right bottom;
	padding: 10px;
	min-height: 38px;
	min-width: 38px;
}

.frame-outer span span span span span {
	background: none;
}

.frame-outer span span span span .wp-caption-text {
	margin-top: 10px;
}

Now from your images folder copy all the images starting from name frame and copy them to your new theme images folder.

Now got functions.php of the theme and copy all the code starting from ADD FRAMES to just before ADMINISTRATION copy this in new theme functions.php

Copy imageclass.php and tagphotoblog.php from folder into new theme folder

Try and tell..hope this works

That didn’t work, which means I probably did something wrong.

So I copied the code you gave in to the style.css. Just to be sure, I added it to the sheet just after the spot where it says “begin frames”
Nothing changed when I did this.

Then your next step, adding the frames images to the new theme images folder. I have done that. Is it ok to just copy them over because that’s what I did.

The next step is where something I did is wrong. This is all that is IN my function.css file so I am not sure where you mean when you say ADD FRAMES and then ADMIN. Then of course, do you mean the code you supplied me to copy it in??

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</li>',
        'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
        'after_title' => '</h2>',
    ));
?>

I have copied imageclass.php across and also tagphotoblog.php across. But the tagphotoblog has a “txt” at the end and I’m not sure why or if it’s correct. Should I remove the txt bit?

I’m not sure if I’ve done the last thing correctly as I think it’s the functions.css that I’ve done wrong. But not sure.

Thank you for your help with this. I’m not exactly new but I don’t work on the blog too much so the learning is very slow. Code is not poetry where I come from ??

Boo

add this in your new themes function.php after the content that it has..
means append the following code in that file

sorry for that tagphotoblog.php i think you wont need that in new theme

I’m sorry. I am really inexperienced at this, hence why I don’t make too many changes to the theme’s I use. As you can see that didn’t work. Obviously I’m not understanding what you’re trying to get me to do. It could be because it’s very late here where I am and I should go to bed. I’ll look in again tomorrow and see if I can get it to work. I’ve left everything I’ve done as is, so you should be able to see it and see my error??

what i was trying to tell was that you should look what functions and components help your previous theme do that.These components include
1.resizing of the image – thats in functions.php
2.adding frame borders. – thats in style.css and borders are located in /images directory
3.a call to these functions

I think you missed the last one.See where in index.php,page.php and single.php where is these things called.

If you have any problem, email me on [email protected] with your previous and new themes links i will do that for you,.,
