1.0.1 Release

Inevitably, there were bugs; inevitably, helpful people found them. So here’s version 1.0.1, with a little more support for common plugins, and some bug fixes. We’ve also added the option to centre the theme, as you can see. A more detailed list is available in the changelog.

To update your version of Tarski, delete all the files in your Tarski directory and upload the new ones (or alternatively, just overwrite the old ones with the new ones).

Update: Whoops, missed one little thing. If you already downloaded Tarski 1.0.1 and don’t want to use the Subscribe to Comments plugin, we’ve updated comments.php a tiny bit to fix a bug. Sorry!

Also, if you’re installing plugins, please do check our recommended plugins page for our suggested settings. Some of them come with less-than-optimal default settings.

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

  2. ionfish’s avatar

    We’ll carry on increasing the plugin support with new versions, and those two are probably near the top of the list.

    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!

  6. ceejayoz’s avatar

    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.

  7. Adrian_es’s avatar

    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!

  8. BillyG’s avatar

    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.

  9. ionfish’s avatar

    Yeah, the u element was deprecated. You can do it in CSS by putting the following code into your stylesheet:

    .underline { text-decoration: underline; }

    Then just wrap whatever you want to apply the underline to in a span with the underline class applied.

    I’ll take a look at that register link. Thanks for picking up on it.

  10. BillyG’s avatar

    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?

  11. ionfish’s avatar

    The “Hide post categories” option just hides them from display in the header of each post (after the date and author info). To get a list of categories to show up in the sidebar, you need to edit sidebar.php and use this WordPress function to create the list. It’s not a Tarski option just yet, although it probably will be in a future release.

  12. Billy’s avatar

    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!

  13. ceejayoz’s avatar

    Billy, change line 14 of navigation.php from:

    ?php wp_register(); ?

    to:

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

    This fix will be in our next release, thanks.

  14. Billy’s avatar

    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.

  15. Billy’s avatar

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

  16. Billy’s avatar

    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.

  17. ionfish’s avatar

    It’s all those nested uls you have. Either fix the markup, or take the margins out with CSS.

  18. Andrew Gingerich’s avatar

    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?

  19. ionfish’s avatar

    It looks like you’re running WordPress on IIS under Windows; the .htaccess permalinks only work, to the best of my knowledge, on Apache.

    To make the links point to the right location, go into the navigation.php file in the Tarski folder and change the anchor tags to point to ?feed=rss2 rather than /feed, and so on.

  20. Andrew Gingerich’s avatar

    Thanks! Works like a charm!

  21. Jon’s avatar

    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.

  22. ionfish’s avatar

    Yeah, that one’s our fault; the theme tries to use a plugin without checking if it exists first. We fixed that one yesterday, but a few people downloaded the theme before we updated the file. If you re-download 1.0.1, that should fix the problem.

  23. ricky’s avatar

    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!

  24. ceejayoz’s avatar

    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.

  25. ricky’s avatar

    thanks.. i’ll see what i can do!

  26. ricky’s avatar

    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.

  27. Jon’s avatar

    Thanks, I’ll try that in the morning.

  28. ceejayoz’s avatar

    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.

  29. ricky’s avatar

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

  30. Jon @ Epic Guide’s avatar

    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.

  31. ionfish’s avatar

    We’ve got a fair few plans for this version, but not a three-column design… at least not yet. Maybe in the future. :)

  32. BillyG’s avatar

    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.

  33. csikszem’s avatar

    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 :)

  34. ionfish’s avatar

    You ought to be able to create an Archives page from the WordPress admin in the usual way. Just go to Write > Write Page and create a new (blank) page with the title ‘Archives’, the post slug ‘archives’, and using the Archives template. Nice colours, by the way!

    Billy: check out Chris’s comment here.

  35. ceejayoz’s avatar

    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.

  36. BillyG’s avatar

    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.

  37. csikszem’s avatar

    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

  38. ionfish’s avatar

    Yes, you need to upgrade to 1.0.1; the bug is the UTW error listed in the changelog.

  39. csikszem’s avatar

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

    Have a nice day!
    csikszem

  40. ceejayoz’s avatar

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

  41. BillyG’s avatar

    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.

  42. ceejayoz’s avatar

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

  43. BillyG’s avatar

    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

  44. BillyG’s avatar

    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.

  45. ceejayoz’s avatar

    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.

  46. BillyG’s avatar

    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.

  47. Billyg’s avatar

    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.
