Thanks Ryan.

fuchs, if you know anything about which things in Kubrick that are being broken by PHP 5, please let me know. I don’t have the option of installing PHP 5 anywhere just now, so I’m a fish out of water on this.

“The problem was that Kubrick was referencing “bloginfo(‘url’)” rather than “echo get_settings(‘siteurl’)” is many spots, and these plus a few small other fixes did the trick.”

ujohnc00, thanks for digging this up. I’ve never tested Kubrick with two seperate url’s, so I completely missed this. I’ll be sure to change it asap.

I would love to make Kubrick more managable for translation in the future. I haven’t played around with it at all though, but if you’re interested in helping me out with understanding how it works, ship me a mail.

Thanks Podz.

You site is down right now, so I can’t check it out, but I think I’ve got a pretty solid idea of what’s going on.
Reason that Firefox squashes the image and Internet Explorer doesn’t: When I wrote Kubrick, I decided to add max-width, a CSS property, which IE doesn’t support, but which makes life easier for users of ‘modern browsers’.
The reason I did this, was a preemptive strike of sorts. I use it on my own site as well.
It has caused a bit of confusion with people who don’t know CSS all that well, which is of course unfortunate. For this reason I’ll reconsider its inclusion in the future.
Regardless of this, you should never post images that are large than the width of the column in which they reside (in Kubrick’s case 450px), unless you know what you’re doing. In variably it’ll end up causing you layout problems.
My best suggestion, if you aren’t interested in resizing your images, is to bring up a calculator and add style=”width: 450px; height: xxxpx;”, in which xxx is the calculated height of the image.
It won’t look too good though, as most browsers suck at resizing images without making them look grainy.

I don’t know, but this might help you?

As I said in my mail to you vramayrat, I love the typography. Though I think perhaps it would be an idea to tone down the gray color of the sidebar a bit, so it doesn’t clash so hard with the header? And the link color on the footer is clashing with the brownish color, making it hard to decipher. A white link color perhaps?

btvillarin, are you trying to use the new 1.3 ‘pages’ feature with Kubrick? Then all you have to do is get the 1.3a version that Ryan made (it can be found through here. That’ll work.

I’ve started implementing 1.3a on my local server, noting all the changes I make in files that’ll later have to be updated when the full version hits. I remember previous upgrade nightmares, where all the small hacks I had made over the months suddenly made everything come down in a flaming heap ??
I don’t think you’ll be able to coax an approximate release date out of the devs. I’ve already tried ??

The way I’m doing it on my site is like this:
<div id="header" onclick="location.href='https://binarybonsai.com';" style="cursor: pointer;">

Root, if you’re curious as to what the changes in 1.3 are, how they work/are going to work, why not sign up for the Hackers mailing list? This has already been outlined long ago on there…

Anonymous, what he means is that you could do this:
<img src="image.jpg" style="width: 450px;" />
or
<img src="image.jpg" width="450">
However, in general you should never post images larger than what you need. Kubrick always uses a 450px wide column, which I decided to do so that people would never be in doubt as to which width their images should be.

aim, this is also in the FAQ. And didn’t I already mail you about this?
Either way, the reason for using the_excerpt, while confusing (and yes, I would prefer it if it didn’t remove all markup as well), is that when browsing archives, you don’t want to read full entries. You just want a quick overview of each entry. Thus… the_excerpt.

Old discussion. We’ve been begging for a new forum for ages ??
