http://spectacu.la/forum/ A great WordPress community en Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:24:55 +0000 http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/comments-feed-for-single-posts#post-78 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 19:11:57 +0000 kmb42vt 78@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Yup, the holidays went well and we have some belated family coming to visit today who couldn't make it up before.</p> <p>I have had the ability for my readers to subscribe to comments by email for longer than I can remember. I just thought it a bit odd that it was included for your other themes and not Evening Sun. It's hardly show stopper for me if you choose not to add it. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/comments-feed-for-single-posts#post-77 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 18:15:01 +0000 clopinettes 77@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hi, Seasons Wishes to you too!</p> <p>Sorry about the slow response - holiday and all meant things didn't get looked at as much as normal.</p> <p>We could certainly add a follow comments link. It's not something we've bothered about because we found that with the bulk of visitors to a website they don't really know what RSS is about anyway - a feed link just adds confusing clutter for them. Maybe just a small icon would be better?</p> <p>Personally I think the best way is subscribe to comments via e-mail, but we'll take a look at your request and consider it for a future version.</p> <p>In the meantime I hope you're having a good holiday :-) </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/comments-feed-for-single-posts#post-76 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:38:47 +0000 kmb42vt 76@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hello all and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!</p> <p>Would it be possible to add the code for a comments feed for single post pages along with the accompanying RSS icon for a future update to Evening Sun? Readers usually appreciate a way to monitor for any additional comments made to a post they commented on themselves since not all bloggers provide a way to do so (like using the Subscribe to Comments" plugin for example). Or, barring that, what would be the best way to add that myself? </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/evening-sun-no-whitespace-for-ltpgt-in-comments-and-sidbar#post-70 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 20:47:46 +0000 kmb42vt 70@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Nope, it's not easy at all. And version 1.3 solved the problem nicely. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/evening-sun-no-whitespace-for-ltpgt-in-comments-and-sidbar#post-67 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 22:22:05 +0000 clopinettes 67@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>We haven't tried doing much with child themes, although I use it on my own blog having modified a Sandbox child theme.</p> <p>The problem, as I see it, is that it's a complex concept to get across to an inexperienced user. Many can grasp the concept of a theme being the visual look of a site, but it's hard to explain that one theme gives the theme a framework, and another gives it the visuals.</p> <p>Ultimately we want to make everything as simple and clear as possible - not always easy! </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/evening-sun-no-whitespace-for-ltpgt-in-comments-and-sidbar#post-65 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 19:24:15 +0000 kmb42vt 65@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Thanks for the reply James and the fast fix. </p> <p>I wasn't sure which .css file went first especially since I was fortunate enough that my change wasn't superseded by anything in the "style.css" file making things more confusing. I'll download 1.0.3 and check the "official" changes then. ;)</p> <p>I also seem to recall that WP 2.7 has incorporated a "child themes" function where a site owner can add their own custom .css file for any given theme that adds whatever custom styling they wish to an activated theme without changing the actual theme's code in any way. This is supposed to keep all custom styling changes safe when their current theme is updated.</p> <p>I'm not a professional coder in anyway but I'm curious to see if that might work for customizations of a theme as well. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/evening-sun-no-whitespace-for-ltpgt-in-comments-and-sidbar#post-64 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:49:15 +0000 James 64@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Evening sun is now at version 1.0.3. You can download it from the <a href="http://spectacu.la/category/themes/" title="Themes">themes</a> section. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/evening-sun-no-whitespace-for-ltpgt-in-comments-and-sidbar#post-63 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:02:43 +0000 James 63@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Thanks for pointing out the problem. As standard I remove all padding and margins from all elements then add them back where I need them, easiest way to ensure consistency across all browsers. When adding margins back I missed the need for comment and sidebar margins on generated content. That will be added to a new version that I'll make available later today.</p> <p>Any modifications you make can be added to typography or style.css. Typography.css is executed first then Style.css is parsed. Any change you make in typography can be superseded by another definition in style.css. So defining 'p {color: red}' in style.css would supersede 'p {color: green}' in typography.css. All additions to style.css must fall under the '@import "typography.css";' line otherwise typography will not be parsed. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/evening-sun-no-whitespace-for-ltpgt-in-comments-and-sidbar#post-61 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:08:54 +0000 kmb42vt 61@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Since there doesn't seem to be an "Evening Sun support" catagory yet, I'm posting this in "Feedback".</p> <p>I'm currently using the Evening Sun theme on my personal site; <a href="http://just-thinkin.net">just-thinkin.net</a> . The theme is definitely high quality and beautiful to say the least but one rather glaring problem stood out. There was no white space between paragraphs in either comments or the sidebar (IE: text widgets).<br /> If someone made a comment or I added a text widget using just html text and this text was separated into two paragraphs, both paragraphs were rendered as one single paragraph. This took away from the over all looks of the theme itself.</p> <p>So I added the following to the "typography.css" file:</p> <pre><code>p { margin: 10px 0; padding: 2px; } #content p { margin: 5px 0 10px; padding: 0; } #sidebar p { margin: 5px 0; padding: 0; }</code></pre> <p>This takes care of the problem nicely. Just wanted you folks to know.</p> <p>By the way, I'm assuming all such modifications should go into the "typography.css" file rather than the "style.css" file. If otherwise, please let me know. </p>
