Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Creating my own ThemeFurther to Moshu’s W3 Schools link (and in addition to the codex docs), have a look at the following sandbox theme –
http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/
The benefit to these minimalist type themes / skeleton structures when you are starting out in wordpress is they are very light on excess code – you shouldn’t have too much trouble seeing exactly what generates what on the final output. It has simple .css / .php files and the directory structure is fairly clean.
Don’t grab something like K2 or similar with lots of features for your first few attempts at hacking up a theme. Also, don’t skip the learning – know css / html and at least some PHP before trying to work templates (W3 schools have everything you need).
Re Drawer / directory not writable – search the help / codex for CHMOD – your directory structure isn’t allowing write permissions for the web process / etc.

In reply to: Override <!–more–> function in the_content() in non single / perma.Moshu: Exactly! That’s what I’m looking for – to have a frontpage that dishonours the more tags.
So the overall site has / will have –
i) A page utilised as the front page that queries for a single post and displays it in full, excluding content in the “News” category for the site. Previous to this help post, content was as described above but was cutting at <!–more–>.
ii) custom archive page which is segregated post listings per category that shows excerpts, which I’m doing via some hacking of a template from plaintxt.org.
I think I just confused the issue with bad nomenclature. Apologies!

Cheers for the info, I’ll build a page / page template and use it as the front page, that should get me exactly what I’m looking for here. Much appreciated.

In reply to: Override <!–more–> function in the_content() in non single / perma.Very ironic:

If they find the root cause of this problem then I’m set. I have the feeling that if you don’t specify parms for the_content() it defaults to full output?

In reply to: Override <!–more–> function in the_content() in non single / perma.Mark,
Yeah, was thinking along those lines as well. Would probably be cleaner for what I have in mind. Creates a semi-compatibility issue though, if you are customizing the content to suit a specific configuration / theme / behaviour.
