Hello ! I've been working on a new responsive template, trying to support many plugins.
There is still little glitches to fix.

Any questions or comments are welcome :smile:

    Nice, third party themes are always welcome. We'll add an entry to our themes section soon.

    A few comments:
    I would link to the releases page of the repository instead of the main repo page. So people get the actual releases

    Finding a way to standardize class for sub-menu with menu_manager so it can handle accessible navigation with keyboard.

    Review the 1.5.8RC as a few things changed here regarding default classes for the menu_manager and all others automatic menus which may help you.

    Not theme related but you seem not to use a rewrite suffix for the image:
    https://collections.rolandtisserand.fr/le_jardin_des_supplices/le_jardin_des_supplices-p141.jpg

    This is not recommended as it may trigger security tools and also harm SEO as the url looks as if this is an image while it is actually a (script) page.

    Thanks for your comment, and good news for 1.5.8 !
    I also fixed the mod_rewrite config.
    I forgot the download link in the first post also : https://github.com/RolandTi/collections/releases/latest/

    You'r welcome. I found the download page on the demo site ;-)

    Btw that download page it says 1.0 although there is still 0.4 released.

    I took some screenshots of the demo site for our themes entry later on already.

    Fix the space in picture URI due to &dsp=Protected view

    That's our domain to fix and not your theme's. Actually an very old oversight no one really noticed until now.

  • Roland Member, Translator

    Ok, thanks, I wasn't sure. I got a Bad value with the html W3C validator.

    Well. spaces are allowed but need to be encoded. Better to avoid them like special chars as it causes less of headaches anyway.

    I have already added the theme to your theme section.

    Can you ensure that this works?

    Looks like you can easily add this yourself if you really need this. Actually this should rather be a plugin actually.

    (The guide is a bit outdated, you should only edit a theme copy and the printAdminToolbox() call does not exist anymore for quite some time now).

  • jwaltrip4 Member

    Yes. true. Issue I have is figuring out where to put it. I would like to add it to zpbase for example, but because of the way the theme is written I am not sure where to put it. I have not asked for help yet on that :)

    It was easy to figure out for Zenpage.

    I have taken a quick look at zpBase. The place would probably where all the extra plugin calls are that start in line 105-114 in its image.php. Either before that or after that.

    Or somewhere around/inbetween line 83-98. You have to try where it looks best.

    The function calls in these places are all quite speaking so you should get an idea where that is.

  • jwaltrip4 Member

    thanks. will look at that

  • jwaltrip4 Member

    did not work... seems to ignore it

    You probably posted it within teh PHP. You have to use

    // php stops here ?>
your script here 
<?php // PHP continues here`

    Sorry, these are minimum basics we naturally assume to be known. Btw, this should not continue here as this topic is actually not about zpBase at all.

    Hi there :-)
    I've been working, a little, to fix some visual glitches and adding the support of multi-set favorites. You can get the version 0.6 at Github : https://github.com/RolandTi/collections/releases/tag/v.06

    Have a nice day !
