Theme creation

SimonD

Hi there.

I've used ZenPhoto for a number of years and want to say thanks! It's great. I've modified the theme and added a few extra bits and it's great.

But for years my website has looked the same, and I want to mix it up. I have NO programming knowledge other than a basic understanding of HTML and can hack around to try things.

I downloaded the Libratus theme, but I cannot get it to work. In principle I like a lot of the features.

QUESTION:
Is there anyone I can pay (well, not huge money) just to cobble together a basic theme for me with a few of the features, even perhaps modifying an existing one for my site? I know exactly what I want, so it would be nice to explain to someone. I am from South Africa and our currency is weak, but happy to try and get a decent amount of Dollars together or so and pay via Paypal.

I asked a friend who does WordPress sites and he looked at it, but said he didn't have time.

Anyone?

What exactly does mean you cannot get Libratus to work? You of course need to have the current Zenphoto version for that to work.

Otherwise you could look here for example: http://www.zenphoto.org/pages/paid-support

The slideshow I could not get to work.

I'll put it back on and post a link shortly.

I dont actually want that theme, but like bits of it if someone could take what I liked and from my old theme and build me a new one.

I am not familiar in all details with the theme. But I think the front page slideshow requires the image_album_statistics plugin.

Otherwise you would have to look at Zenphoto, server and browser error logs to find out more.

It generally sounds that you actually want a custom theme. That often is more work than it seems.

Of course you don't need to hire someone from our paid support page. In any case negotiations must be made outside the forum individually. Best post a link to your site or else (dont post your mail address :-)) so someone else can contact you directly.

Thanks.

I'm drafting up a list of what I'd like, and then will post it here with a link. Hopefully someone from here or paid support is able to quote me (eeek) and create / modify a theme to suit what I am asking for.

Loving Zenphoto. It's really made my life easier. Will donate again too.

Almost done with my wishlist for a new theme.

I'll post it up for those willing to quote on doing it shortly. Been trying to learn the various parts of how things fit together, but I'm really no programmer!
