Name: Simple Template Theme Author: Alexander Palmo Version: 0.4.8 Description: --------- This theme uses separate "template" files to create the layout. This should make it much easier to edit the theme. You no longer need to know PHP or edit the themes.php file to modify a theme (unless you want to, of course...) Folder List: --------- simple/ id.txt style.css themes.php user_style.php templates/ comment.html entry.html main_layout.html menu_block.html (menu_block_no_expand.html) popup_layout.html static.html colors/ (Scheme color files...) images/ (Image files...) Usage: ----- To edit/modify a theme, you will need to edit the 6 files in the "templates/" folder. A template is simply an HTML file with special tags in it. The tags look like %this% and get replaced by real content when you view the page. There is quite a long list of tags. Here is a complete list: Content Tags ----------- The following tags are the "main" tags. main_layout.html popup_layout.html %blog_title% %content% %footer% General page layout tags ------------------- The following tags are mostly "utility" tags. main_layout.html popup_layout.html %page_width% %menu_width% %content_width% %popup_width% %image_path% Blog entries / Comments / Static entries ------------------------------- The following tags are used for all of the "entry" content: comment.html entry.html static.html %rdf% %subject% %id% %date% %categories% %edit_button% %delete_button% %add_comment% %views% %trackbacks% %permalink% %relatedlink% %ipaddress% %ratings% %content% Sidebar Menu / Widgets ------------------ These tags are used for the sidebar: Contains all the "widgets" %menu% -- or --> Build your own menu: %widget_avatar% -- or --> %widget_avatar=alternate_template.html% %widget_links% %widget_user% %widget_setup% %widget_custom% %widget_calendar% %widget_archive_tree% %widget_categories% %widget_search% %widget_counter% %widget_recent_entries% %widget_recent_comments% %widget_recent_trackbacks% %widget_badges% Widgets ------ Inside each menu block, you can use these tags: menu_block.html (menu_block_no_expand.html) %title% %content% %comment% %id% %twisty% Colors ----- The following tags get replaced with HEX color values that look like this: FFFFFF %main_bg_color% %header_bg_color% %footer_bg_color% %menu_bg% %menu_title_bg% %menu_border% %menu_title_text% %menu_text% %menu_link_reg_color% %menu_link_hi_color% %menu_link_down_color% %inner_border_color% %txt_color% %headline_txt_color% %date_txt_color% %header_txt_color% %footer_txt_color% %link_reg_color% %link_hi_color% %link_down_color% %entry_title_text%
