ClearView Wordpress Theme

I always loved the function and simplicity of the i3Theme but never liked the looks of it at all. So I went to work to change the basic look and feel of the theme. While I was working on it I found the Unstandard theme and took the way that that theme used post imaging and put it into this theme as well. You use your post images the same way that you would if using the Unstandard theme. So here is the ClearView Wordpress Theme. There are 2 version of the theme below. One uses the post images and the other just uses the post text as the original i3Theme did. Have fun and thank for downloading. Any questions or comments on this download please leave them here.

Installation and Usage

To install simply unzip and put contents in the themes folder of your Wordpress installation.

To use the post images create a 495px x 188px lead graphic. While composing an article, create a new ‘key’ under Custom Fields titled lead_image. For the corresponding value, paste the direct URL to the hosted image. If you would rather not use the post_image i have a version that also displays the post content like the i3Theme.

Requirements

This theme has only been tested on Wordpress 2.1 and above. If you are using anything under 2.1 please update your Wordpress installation. I am giving this theme away free but you may not redistribute without my permission. I would also ask that you leave a link to this site somewhere on your site.

Limitations

Because of the transparent PNG’s this theme will not look right in Internet Explorer 6 and under. I will fix this for the next release or you can solve this yourself with a simple Google search.

  2. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    miles:

    I will have a demo page up tomorrow. Sorry i didn’t get to it today but i got busy with some other things.

  3. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    brilliant theme :)

    for those who need to open the rar, i suggest this: http://www.unrarx.com/

  4. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    or http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html for leopard (on mac)

    by the way…the tparent.png seems to be incomplete in this theme so problems downloading.

  5. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    jMac:

    Do you have a link? or can you explain more what its doing?

  6. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    I fixed the incomplete error when you try to unrar. Sorry for the mistake.

  7. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    using The Unarchiver the error is ‘could not extract the file ‘clearview-1-1/images/gif/tparent.png’

    using MacPar Deluxe the error is ‘a checksum erroe(2) occurred during Unrar’

    looking into the files it looks like the tparent png is zero kb..

  8. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    It should be fixed now. Sorry for the trouble.

  9. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    yep - fixed now :)

  10. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    Installed: http://www.jonathanmacdonald.com/

    Not showing posts though…tweaking now..

  11. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    Gonna revert until I find the code line to show all post content.

  12. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    On the home page its not going to show the post content but just the post image that you define in the key. hold on ill give you the code. To show post content on the home page you wont be able to use the post_images. Is this ok?

  13. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    Sure - send the code. I think there is something possible with changing the calls to allow post_image..

  14. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    Actually, the only post_image I like is the date as in the original i3 theme.

  15. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    Yea but its a little different in placement. to make it look like the original theme without post_images download this

    (Link removed. Please use downloads above)

    and replace your index.php with the one provided in this download.

  16. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    hahaha - i just re-coded that myself!!!

    installing now.

  17. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    all done.

    http://www.jonathanmacdonald.com/

    thx eric :)

  18. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    I added an extra download for the theme that includes a version for people that don’t want to use the post_images function.

  19. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    jMac:

    No problem Im glad I could help.

  20. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    fyi - post comments from other people are light text on white background so i have reverted whilst trying to sort..

  21. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    lol i guess i was in to big a hurry to get this theme out. My next one will be a lot more sorted out :)

  22. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    Ok released v1.5 which fixes the comment color and a few more things. Put a demo page up also.

  23. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    cool - nice work eric

  24. MyAvatars 0.2 Sonny Says:

    Now this looks awesome

  25. MyAvatars 0.2 BEN Says:

    Thanks Eric :)

  26. MyAvatars 0.2 Ashley Says:

    I love the transparency. Great job Eric

  27. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    Ok….check the hyperlink in the comment part of this post: http://www.jonathanmacdonald.com/?p=880#comments

    It would be great if someone could let me know line of code needs to be changed?

  28. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    jMac: The only link i see is the time and date stamp inside the comment box. Is this what your talking about?

  29. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    The invisible link underneath the text:

    “btw, jupiter analyst mark mulligan weighed in this morning on the compete post and wired article about imeem’s growth in streaming music — i’ve enclosed a link below in case you want to check it out:”

    [cue: invisible link]

  30. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    Ahh i didnt see that link. Which is your point i guess. Ok add this to your style.css

    .commentlist a{
    color:#000000;
    }

    .commentlist a:hover{
    color:#666666;
    }

  31. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    added…no effect - which exact line?

  32. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    jMac: For the demo which you can see here, ( http://demo.jericosystems.com/clearview_1-0/?p=7 ) I added it to line 401

  33. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    nope - still not working…did you remove a line too??

  34. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    Download this…

    http://jericosystems.com/themes/style.css

    Then copy the text from it to your css and see if that works

  35. MyAvatars 0.2 jMac Says:

    ah-ha

    i originally edited in dreamweaver which inserts question marks infront of the font color numbers (when you view it in wordpress admin)

    when editing it in wordpress admin it works

    thx!!!!

  36. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    No Problem. im glad your still liking the theme.

    I also updated the downloads so this shouldn’t be a problem no more.

  37. MyAvatars 0.2 crss Says:

    this is just awesome.
    congrats on your edit :)

  38. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    Thanks. Im glad you like it.

  39. MyAvatars 0.2 dan Says:

    dude, is this rip version of derek punsalan and nik la version?

    http://www.mangoorange.com/resources/i3theme/
    http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/wp-themes/itheme/

    dont remove the credit!

  40. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    How is this a rip from his theme.. it looks nothing like his theme. and if you would read the information above i give full credit to the parts of the code i used from other themes. Please read the content before you bash the product. The “image” tag in the content is put there by Wordpress not Derek.

  41. MyAvatars 0.2 dan Says:

    in the theme footer

  42. MyAvatars 0.2 Eric Hamby Says:

    The only thing that still remains from both themes is the icons and the java script which neither of them created. Saying that i stole from Derek is like saying every Wordpress theme that uses post imaging is copying off of him.

  43. MyAvatars 0.2 Sam Says:

    This is perfect I havent had any problems from it so far.
