Very good

Hey Jason – awesome theme!

So how do I go about buying a developer’s license for this theme?
Thanks!
Steve

Hello Jason,
I love your theme and just started to build my site and make some minor changes.

Is there a possibility to add tags to portfolio items? If so, how can I manage this?

Why had you removed the category from the author-box? I saw the category name in one of your examples but did not found it in the actual version of the theme. So I added it by my own and hope I did it correctly.

Sorry for my bad english.

Is there a possibility to add tags to portfolio items? If so, how can I manage this?

This is going to be difficult. I wouldn’t advise doing this unless you know what you’re doing. Currently portfolios are created with a custom post type “portfolio-items’ which has a custom taxonomy called “portfolioshows”. The portfolioshows taxnomy is setup to work similarly to a “category” to a standard wordpress post. However, you could create a new taxonomy that functions how tags do. You’d have to do some research on how to add custom taxonomies to custom post types. You can find all the code for this here:

/framework/custom_post_types/portfolio.php

Why had you removed the category from the author-box?

The reason I removed it is because it looked nice if you have one category, but if you designated more than one category, it was too much content to shove into that small area and I felt it didn’t look very good when it broke it down to the next line.

I’m really diggin’ this one Jason. Thanks for the nice work.

Thank you for the informations. So I will see what I can do and if I will add tags or not.

Good stuff, my friend!

Awesome! I just bought it and it does everything i need it to do!

Hi Jason –

I’m trying to help a friend get his site up using Complexity. He is new to WordPress and is having trouble figuring out how to implement the Portfolio feature. I’m kind of stumbling myself, but my question is this – if you have created several portfolios and trashed them, how can you get them to disappear from the Parent pulldown on the Portfolios panel. There are now several duplicate and triplicate portfolio names that we can’t reuse. Is there a way to COMPLETELY get rid of a portfolio?

I did an update to theme this last week where I included more documentation for setting up the portfolios. So you should re-download the theme from TF and read the portfolios section of the documentation again.

Also, I’m not sure what you mean about completely removing a portfolio. I just went in and tested on my demo. If I create a portfolio, it appears on the Parent dropdown. Then, I trash it and goes away completely from the parent dropdown. So, I’m not sure why you’re running into this.

Now what might be an issue… There were some major updates to the portfolio section in the first couple weeks the theme was out. I’d make sure you’re using the latest version. And if you need any more support please email me through my TF profile page under the account you purchased the theme trough. Thanks

@simone

You should follow this tutorial I just wrote

@shawn

Well if you’re wanting it to be taller, just use an image that’s taller and make sure you don’t have image cropping turned on in the theme options page. If you want to change the width you’ll have to make a bunch of CSS edits…

Hey Jason. Very nice theme. I purchased it, made design changes of course, and put it up as one of two designs for a client to choose. They chose the other design, but really like your news scroller. And I do to. I have been trying to integrate the scroller into the theme they chose, based on the genesis framework. And I am getting php errors. Do you have this scroller available as a plugin? I’ve looked at a few, and none are as nice as yours is, and I’d be willing to pay for it. I am not a programmer, just a designer, who can make most things work with just staring at the code for a bit.

Thanks

Hi Jason, loving Complexity. I am however having page title issues where the only page which shows the Actual Site Title and Tag line is the home page, all the others are simply entitled ‘About’ or ‘Services’ after the page name, without the Site title preceding them. Can you advise the best way to get the Site Title on all pages within the site?

Cheers

I have your complexity theme and it’s working great! Just wondering if there is a way to have the homepage slideshow loop once and then stop?

Jason – Using complexity and love it! One thing I want to ask – I want to make a frontpage that is exactly like your front page but with NO NAVIGATION – until we hit the rest of the pages.

Not sure which file to alter… where the navigation is called. Sound like I could do a conditional PHP statement to include it only on a certain page.
Not afraid to play with the php – have already tweaked the template..

Thanks for any help!

@Donna

I do not have the news scroller available as a stand-alone plugin. All it’s doing is using the Cycle jQuery plugin.

So, in order to get it to work on your theme, you need to a few things:

1) The PHP: Include the widget PHP file in your functions.php file. I think in my theme it’s something like framework/widgets/news_scroller_Widget.php. Literally, for the php side of things, you just need to include the file. So, in your functions.php file of your current theme you’d do something like this:

include( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘path-to-file/news_scroller_Widget.php’);

2) The javascript: This is pretty much why I wouldn’t release it as a stand along plugin… Because I really didn’t do much of the javascript to make it work. Because I’m using the jQuery Cycle plugin for the theme’s main slideshow, I figured, what the heck, why not have a little news scroller widget, too.

So you need to include the cycle.js from my theme in the header.php file of your theme. Also, you’d need to go into my theme’s custom.js file and grab the piece of code titled “//News Scoller” and have that somewhere in your theme. And obviously, your theme must have jQuery attached.

3) The CSS: You’ll probably need to write your own CSS because the CSS I wrote is specifically to fit the new scroller into the different widget areas of my theme. But you can find all associated CSS in style.css and style#.css. Just search the files for instances of the word “scroller”

@Paul

It’s pretty easy to do what you’re asking. Just open up header.php and find the HTML title tags. You will see the different WordPress conditional tags formatting the title differently for different kinds of WordPress pages. For example, is_page() means this is what’s going to happen if it’s a standard WordPress page.

So, where you see < ?php the_title(); ?>, this is the title of the page (i.e. About or Services). To add in the your website’s title before it, you could change it something like:

< ?php bloginfo'name'); ?> – < ?php the_title(); ?>

@Marie

I’m sorry, Marie, I don’t know of a way to do this. The slideshow is simply using the Cycle jQuery plguin. Maybe seeking out in forums about this plugin might help find an answer to that one. You can find the basic javascript calling of the cycle() function in index.php right before all the slides get outputted by a WordPress loop.

@eddie

You can find the navigation menu in header.php. Basically, just find the whole div called “slideshow-wrapper” and wrap it in a WordPress conditional statement.

Something like…

< ?php if( !is_home() ) : ?>
< div id="slideshow-wrapper" >

… nav menu code ….

< /div >
< ?php endif; ?>

The above is just saying “if NOT homepage” show the div.
