1.0.1 Release

Hooray! :-D

Yes! Avatar support! Might I also suggest live comment preview and asides?

This is seksay.

Hi… Great theme!! Thx!

Just a question… qhen i activate the gravatar plugin, in Options-Gravatars appears an error line… this –> Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/virtual/sitio85805/www/wp-content/plugins/gravatars.php on line 335
and I don’t know why… any ideas¿?

Thx!

Adrian_es, I’m not sure, you’d have to ask the Gravatar plugin guy. My best guess from looking at that line is that it may show up if there have never been any comments on your blog yet.

If you don’t have any comments, try posting one and seeing if it goes away.

Thx! I ask the Gravatar plugin guy and he said that it cause I don’t have any comments on my blog… xD

Thx at all!

Hi again. I should’ve put my last comments in here since I just now downloaded it and it looks like you updated it.

Anyway, I left out:

1. I think it may not be grabbing my avatar because the path box does not stay populated (but maybe it doesn’t need to, just pointing that out)

2. I’m getting a few validation errors.

A. The first one involves this code in the sidebar (with brackets deleted):

ul class=”navlist”
?php wp_list_pages(’sort_column=post_title&title_li=’); ?
/ul

I am getting a double li open and close for the Resgister link.

li li a href=”http://billy-girlardo.com/WP/wp-register.php”>Register /a /li /li

B. Apparently Strict doesn’t like the u underline tag; I’ll try Transitional or delete the underline.

Glad to help.

I didn’t select the “Hide post categories” but they are not in my sidebar, or is this referring to the bottom of each post (where I do see that post’s cat’s)?

If I need to add it to the sidebar box in admin to see them, do I just include the template call?

Gotcha. Just wanted to make sure I was applying that switch correctly, thx.

Now if I can find where this Register call is coming from I will be error free!

Billy, change line 14 of navigation.php from:

?php wp_register(); ?

to:

?php wp_register('', ''); ?

This fix will be in our next release, thanks.

I tried adding some sidebar code with an ELSE to your sidebar_comments IF so that my sidebar info would display as long as there are no comments when someone goes to a post page but it just pushes your comments to the bottom of the page because it never accepted my else. I used closing and opening brackets but obviously I didn’t do it correctly.

Outside your scope of course, just ranting. I was hoping to include my own sidebar info that I carry from theme to theme but I see your sidebar comments override that as is and I’m not smart enuff to figure out how to compensate for whether or not there are coments. Oh well.

My bad, I see this page is doing the same thing so I was good lol.

I added a float:left; to the ul’s and li’s but my list on the sidebar is still pushed to the right, do you know how I can fix that?

I realize that lists are not the way to go here and will work on that but I just want to get it up and running for now. TIA.

Am I doing something wrong here (wouldn’t be surprised; I’m completely new to WordPress and can barely hold my own with HTML)? I’ve got Tarski running on Wordpress 2.0.1 and the basic functions work fine, but the links in the header and sidebar point to the wrong locations (subscribe to feed points to “feed/” when my feed is actually located at “?feed=rss2″, and to about at “about/” when it is actually located at “?page_id=2″), so whenever I click one of these links all I get is a 404 error.

I would think this was a permalink issue, but links to actual entries work fine. What should I do to fix this?

Thanks! Works like a charm!

Hey - GREAT LOOKING THEME!!!

I do have a little problem. On story pages, the bottom has an error in the Comment area.

Here’s a page, http://www.epicguide.com/2006/02/22/million-dollar-ferrari-crashes-in-malibu/

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_subscription_checkbox() in /home/content/e/p/i/epicscotty/html/wp-content/themes/tarski/comments.php on line 132

Any thoughts???? I Really like where your going with this theme. If you had some ads, you would have gotten a few clicks from me for your troubles.

Ok i suck at wordpress pretty much but i have an easy question!
When in the theme options it says “You’ll need to update your permalink structure after Tarski creates these pages for this to work.” I dunno what I’m supposed to update them to. Thanks!

Just click the “Update Permalink Structure” button at the bottom of the Permalinks option pane. This rebuilds the WordPress redirection rules.

In your case, however, you don’t appear to be using clean hyperlinks, so you’ll need to follow ionfish’s instructions on changing navigation.php to suit your needs.

thanks.. i’ll see what i can do!

ok, I got that straightened out. thanks for your help ceejay next question… is it possible to add another page to that list at the top? maybe a photos page? i tried to cut and paste and change the tags line to photos but I didn’t do it right.

Thanks, I’ll try that in the morning.

ricky, yes, you can add pages to that list.

The simplest possible navigation.php you can have will look something like this - try working off that as a start.

ok, that works, you rock. hopefully I won’t have to bother you for a while.

Thanks Ben, my error “show_subscription_checkbox()” was fixed by re-installing the 1.0.1 version. So far things look good.

Any chance you guys will create a “Tarski” three column version. I want to add a right side information/ad column to my site. There is an extreme lack of good 3 column designs in the WordPress gallery.

Take care.

Can you please show me how I can fix the “No Tags” display I am getting at the bottom of some of my posts?

On others, it shows the same tags on 2 lines.

Is this something I have turned on twice with the UTW plugin? TIA.

Hi,
first of all, respect… this is a very good theme.

I’ve a little problem. I’ve some network problem in my workplace and don’t know how I had no authorization to create any folder on my ftp while I was asked Tarski to create Archives page. So option has disappeared from my options but Archives has not been created.

What should I do?

Thanks,
from Hungary :)

csikszem, in addition to what ionfish has said, you shouldn’t be creating an /archives/ folder. Wordpress will set up what is essentially a pretend folder automatically.

Thx, I forgot about that thread. I do have 3 UTW plugins total that came with my last downlaod and just assumed… I will take care of that when I get home from school, thx.

Good :)

ionfish, BillyG. thx. I’ve created archives page as you told and with default permalink setup it works.

I’m on 1.0 yet and found an other error for me. On archives page when I click on a category or a month I get an error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_tag() in /usr/local/www/data-dist/agyampark.hu/wp-content/themes/tarski/loop.php on line 45

(Pls take a look: http://www.agyampark.hu/?page_id=9/ )

Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
csikszem

Yeah, thanks for help again. I upgraded to 1.0.1 and problem has been solved.

Have a nice day!
csikszem

Glad to hear that, csikszem! Let us know if you have any more troubles. :-)

Hi again. I’m adding some nav links to my site with your theme and have it working for the single pages but have not been able to get it going when adding that same code to the loop.php or footer.php files. I have not messed with the navigation.php file since it looks like it’s just dealing with the horizontal menu bar.

Do you guys have any suggstions for where I should add this to show some navigation from the front page? TIA.

BillyG, are you talking about adding extra content to the top of the main content column?

Optimally, it would appear at the top and bottom (either above recent articles or below and then either above or below the About para.)

Basically, there needs to be some navigation and I guess beggars can’t be choosers lol. I have it setup for the single pages, if you click on any of my post headings you’ll see what I mean. TIA

I just noticed that what I have added to the bottom of Loop.php is in fact showing up as the last thing of the sidebar. I’ll try it with out the CSS spacing that I included.

Same thing.

Stuff in the loop.php file should show up on the home page of your blog, as well as the various single and archive pages. There are certain places that they must go - an understanding of how the HTML and PHP code is structured is helpful in determining these. Here they are in loop.php:

1: <?php if (have_posts()) { ?>
2:
3: <div id="primary">

Added content should go directly after line #3, so it is within the #primary block.

68: <?php } ?>
69: </div>
70: <?php } else { ?>

Added content should go directly after line #68, as #69 ends the #primary block.

As a side note, we’re spending a lot of time helping you out that we’d rather be using developing the theme. If you want to mess around with it, go ahead, but we can’t hold your hand while you make significant alterations to the theme that amount to a code fork.

What an asshole. I’m the one that told you about a fix you needed and that’s what I get for pointing out an error in an Open Source project?

Adding navigation to a blog should not be a fork, it is 101 and if you would’ve looked at my code, you would’ve seen that that is exactly where I have the navigation code for the bottom of the page.

Just because you put a theme out doesn’t mean “you’re the man” or anything, I’ll drop this theme in a skinny second, the only thing making it different is the comments on the side but with any content to the sidebar, it all gets pushed to the bottom of the page anyway.

I’ll try the upper version you suggest though and see how far that gets me. Go back to work faggot lol.

Oh look, I did have the nav code in the upper section already also and no, that didn’t work either, even when I took off the CSS that I had with it.

Do you think I didn’t mess with this for awhile before finally coming here?

Apparently alot longer than you looked at my code before replying or know what you’re talking about when you did.

I’m out.

Billy, if you’d paid money for this theme then maybe your comments would be justified. But you haven’t, so maybe you ought to cool down a little or work on your tact.

BillyG, I tested the code I provided on our development site before posting it here. As with the UTW plugin, I’m not sure why the same code is doing different things on your server.

We appreciate bug reports, and “what you got for pointing out an error in an Open Source project” was thanks. All I said was that we’ve been spending a lot of time helping you modify your installation when you might be better served by experimenting on your own a bit.

Neither of us believe ourselves to be “the man” for releasing Tarski. If you’re dissatisfied with Tarski, we encourage you to switch to another theme. In fact, K2 has the same comments-in-sidebar functionality that Tarski does, if you’d like to try it out. As our credits page says, we based a lot of this theme’s functionality on theirs.

Speaking of credits, I’d say it is telling that you’d removed the “Powered by WordPress and Tarski” text from your theme even before you got pissed off at us and started calling us nasty names.

Screw you Eric and anybody else that says some stupid crap, he started it.

All I did was ask a question, and my code was already in the places he suggested which didn’t work, hence I finally came here for this crap.

All good, I got work to do.

Billy, when you said “I guess beggars can’t be choosers” did you really mean “I guess beggars can’t be choosers unless they’re me“? Because nobody started anything except for you. Chris said he can’t hold your hand; big deal. That’s not an insult, that’s simple fact. This is a theme, provided for free, that’s taken a lot of time to create, time that you apparently think nothing of.

Take a day off of ‘work’ or something. Good lord.

BillyG, if you have an anger management problem might I suggest you take it elsewhere?

I find it ironic that on the one hand you label the two guys who spent their free time developing a theme for no profit or personal gain whatsoever “assholes”, on the other hand you cuss and flame in nearly every post. I quote: Go back to work faggot lol.

Seriously, what are you, eight? Who the hell even writes like that?
The fact that Tarski seems to work for everyone else besides you seems to indicate that it is you who screwed up. Maybe you should fiddle with your settings and find out what you did that makes this thing not work for you rather than insulting everyone. But that would involve being the bigger man and acting according to what I can only hope is your real age, and for some reason I don’t see that happening.
In fact, I’m fairly sure your next post will prove me right.

I’m extremely new to all of this. I have images associated with some of my links on my sidebar. They appear just fine with the general WordPress themes but do not appear when I use this one. Is there something I need to do to this theme to make it work?

I can’t seem to unsubscribe from the comments update emails on here.. I get a 403 error I I really don’t need anymore of billyg’s comments in my inbox.
Thanks for you help and your great theme!

That “someone” ionfish is talking about would be me. ;-) Sorry, ricky!

@ Vee:

Change line #25 of sidebar.php from:

<?php get_linksbyname($link_cat->cat_name, '<li>', '</li>', ' ', false, 'name', false, false, -1, false); ?>

to:

<?php get_linksbyname($link_cat->cat_name, '<li>', '</li>', ' ', true, 'name', false, false, -1, false); ?>

That should do the trick, let me know if it works.

It did the trick! Thanks!

Thanks for Tarski…

A new convert!

First off, thanks for the great work. :)

And here’s why I’m leaving a comment here: I found that the theme doesn’t have , , and in header.php, sidebar.php, and footer.php respectively. I had a plugin (Brian’s Threaded Comments) error because of the lack of the above tags (specifically, the plugin wouldn’t alter the comments db table as it should because of the lack of the trigger wp_head() in the template.) I added the above tags manually to appropriate places, but I thought you may want to consider this when you come up with a new upgrade.

Oops. the php tags I left in the above comment were all gone. so here are the functions I mentioned (and were deleted in the above comments): wp_head() in header.php, wp_meta() in sidebar.php (although the meta info is in the navigation line and footer in your theme), and wp_footer() in footer.php. Hope this helps for your debugging.

That’s a great theme. Thanks. Though after installing it I’ve got the message below. I have tried other themes and they all work fine. Thanks a lot.

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE `meta_key` = 'wp_user_level' AND `meta_value` > 1' at lin]
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM WHERE `meta_key` = ‘wp_user_level’ AND `meta_value` > 1

I forgot to say I’m using WordPress 1.5.2

That’s likely your problem, then. Tarski is a Wordpress 2.0+ theme.

This is a very nice theme! However, I would like to modify it so that only the frontpage has a sidebar - any other part of my site should use the full width of the theme. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.

Thank you! I will try it as soon as I can.

OK - sorry to bother you again. But I still have the sidebar on my Tags page.

And the full width is used only when I view a single post.

Is it possible to use the full width for About, Tags and Archives as well?

Thank you.
