Nice new theme. I need to learn to create some custom themes for my site.
Thanks David. Still some work to be done…
I know you’ve made your design available in a couple formats for download. Have a look at how I’ve packaged them on sndbx.org. In the ‘template’ folder, you can also include a
functions.phpfile, with which you can hookwp_headandwp_footer, eg, for inserting scripts, etc, as well as creating a theme options menu. It’s a lesser-known WordPress feature.Hey Scott. So far I have only made the one version available for download. However, using the
functions.phpto allow an admin options menu similar to previous versions of Sandbox, is definitely a plan for the future. I just haven’t had the time to do that just yet.Future features of Moo-Point would be to allow layout and color changes from the theme’s admin panel. We will just have to see if people want that and if I do not take the theme in a different direction.
Thanks for the heads up on it though. I know a lot of people do not know the power or functionality you can add with the theme functions file.
Sorry for any added confusion. A bit dazed with all the entries, comments, judges, etc.
I think I’ll write up something just now on the Sandbox Forums for using
Template: sandbox+functions.phpas a starting point for those who’d like to expound upon it.Now I’m going to stand in the blazing heat for ten minutes to clear my brain.
I’m sorry. Did I misunderstand what you were saying?
No, no, not all all. I was a bit embarrassed because I confused you with another participant.
And then I began rambling about functions and forums, etc. Still a bit dazed from keeping the competition moving along.
No worries. I thought I had totally missed the jist of what you were trying to say or that I sounded goofy in my reply…
Keep up the good work on the competition. Everything has been awesome thus far!
Great going Will, congratulations.
Thanks Manu!
