Ia3 theme help needed!

There are thousands of WordPress themes – which means that many people won’t be familiar with your particular theme. So a link to your site where people can see the theme might result in more responses.

Hi esmi,

thanx for your reply. Unfortunately I can’t post a link here because it’s all protected with passwords and stuff =(

My problem is in general how to add a left sidebar on a page. I have on my theme no sidebar.php template. I have been researching on the web for 3 hours now, and just found plugins to download and guidelines on how to style the navigation. I know how to work on the css, I need to get the necessary html to appear in place, so that I can THEN style it. But I am missing the necessary HTML code on my page.

Thank you again

Chiara

In that case, all I can suggest is that you review Theme_Development.

Does anyone know how to get the gallery to work in the iA3 template? I know it’s a template-specific question, but I can’t seem to find any forums about it, so I’m giving it a try here.

Dariel, Chiara – I know my way around the them very well – are you still struggling?

Hello Luke,

I’ve gotten the gallery pages to work, but I’m troubled by a related issue. I’d like to add template pages to the list of possible templates so that I can have, say, 3 gallery templates in place to go along with three gallery pages. I know the template list is more back-of-house… what’s the method for adding templates? Or is there another way?

Hi Dariel

i’ve never tried that sort of thing I must say. In ver 1 there were 2 types of galleries – a single and group page – could you not just use those?

PS Ver 1.2 will be arriving today, I’ve been told, so let’s see what else is new…

PPS You’ve done something to the code that means that none of your page links show up on iphone size… did you mean to do that?

No… I didn’t mean to break the iphone version ?? I guess I’m going to have reload everything from scratch. It’s okay though, the page is going to expand anyway. I guess then, back to the gallery issue. Let’s say I use gallery template X. The problem is one has to enter the actual images to exist in that gallery by hand. That is, open the code and plug in the images. So if I want to then have a second gallery page with different images, I have to use a new template, because the first template has the old images in it. That’s what I’ve deduced so far. Is there a way to plug images into the gallery template without disturbing the template itself? Like in a special folder somewhere? Or on the page in the dashboard of wordpress?

Hi Dariel

Yes you are correct, and my only suggestion is to borrow code from version 1, which had 2 versions of the gallery… although you may still find that not enough for your needs. I know zero php so can’t help you recode the file to make it work for you.

Best of luck
Luke

I decided to ditch the gallery template and use a gallery plug in instead. Much better choice. I’m using NextGen Gallery, by Alex Rabe.

Luke, if you’re still out there, my navigation still isn’t showing up in the iPhone. Any ideas? Www. Hartfordarch.org. I changed the footer significantly; is that it?

Hi Dariel

Well did you reload the theme from scratch? That should fix things – and while you’re at it have you upgraded to the latest version? – it includes a built in updater so that future versions won’t require us to start again from scratch each time, as well as other updates.
Once you’ve done that – edit the header file (called something head.php i think) and change: <meta name=”description” content=”iA is a strategic design agency in Tokyo, Japan. We analyze business goals and user needs, and develop interfaces that match.” />
tO your own description – your archi site is showing up with that content descrip on google.

ciao

PS Hartford? I’m going to Storrs on Thursday for the weekend – what’s the weather?

Luke,

I did reload the whole thing. Not sure what’s wrong… Thanks for the heads up on the header. That’s a big whoops. Weather this weekend will be rain/snow, sadly.

Wierd. Did you set up your page links via the new ia3 pane on the backpage?

Actually snow could be fun – we’re coming from sunny south africa
