I was messing around w/ the stock slashcode theme's css tonite and I ended up getting a little more creative then I intended. I created a clone of the stock Wordpress look n feel for slashcode. Screenshot: http://images.lottadot.com/SlashWordpressScreenshot.png The code's in CVS, so either peruse via http://cvsweb.lottadot.com/ cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/wordpress/ or just grab it: cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot login cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot checkout wordpress It's not 100% complete, in that I didn't mess with trying to make content from article.pl fit into the wordpress "box". But the frontpage looks halfway decent. I honestly do not intend to work on this much further. So if this is at all any interest to anyone, please speak up and let me know. Patches appreciated. Shane PS - what's the 'standard' for naming conventions for themes? part of me thought this should be called 'wordpressclonetheme' and another thought 'slashwordpressclonetheme' but that's kinda long. When I've created themes in the past, they were always for a specific website. So this is different from that. Note that the stock slashcode theme is just called 'slashcode' not 'slashcodetheme'. So I'm wondering if there's a naming convention to go by, and if there isn't, with the advent of the css conversion of slashcode odds are more themes will follow, so maybe there should be? |

You do great work Shane.

Shane was helping me on Sunday fixing where I messed up trying to install Slash. I was emailing him from morning well into the night. How he found the time to do this too is beyond me. Where should I go to start to understand how to change the themes? -- Keep in mind I have no clue what I'm doing with slash... yet... - Jim Eric Dannewitz <eri...@ja...> wrote: You do great work Shane.

Hit http:// slash.lottadot.com/ . Happy reading :) If you're still lost after you read the article about themes, then send a msg to the list. The wordpress theme wasn't all that much work (not that it's finished, either). If I'd have ever touched Wordpress before it'd probably have taken half the time it did. The good thing is that I'd already done a lot of the work looking at Slash's css layout months ago: http://slash.lottadot.com/article.pl?sid=05/08/09/017212 Shane |

Regarding the theme name, it's probably best to drop "wordpressclone" and create your own shorter version. At the risk of being derivative: "slashpress_theme" As far as naming conventions go, I don't think there is an official one. We can adopt an "unofficial" one, if we are going to be consistent. I'd think 12-24 chars as a "name" with an added "_theme" should work well enough.
