Gotta love this theme, not only for it's flexibility, but for the awesome support you get off these forums. Each time I have asked a question on here, someone has given me the solution. I have been looking through some of the sites in this "showing off" forum and it is clear to me that you can use this theme for any project, it is so adaptable. That being said, here's my first site using atahualpa 3.49, be gentle...

Nice clean site Patrick. Mind if I ask what you used for the HRM News scroller?

Hi Larry,

I used this:

http://remysharp.com/2008/09/10/the-...mooth-marquee/

It uses <UL> and <LI>, so I feed these in using the RSSImport plugin.

It took a while to work it all out, but I got there in the end.

Patrick.

Ok, Im a total NEWB here and just learning WP. I have done some webdev stuff in the past but nothing with code....all WYSIWYG. Anywho, I love your eyeonannapolis site and Im curious how you got the thing to look that way with the background and such.

That site is not currently using Atahualpa but you could get that look using background images.

Larry, thanks for the info. I can definitely make a background image and have done so...however getting the height correct seems to be a guessing game.

Im sure you guys & gals are going to hear more from me in the future. Ive been lurking on this site now for about 2 days digging around and searching.

However due to my very newb level of knowledge when it comes to CSS and other code Im going to have to rely heavily on this forum and all the current info there, as well as potentially ask questions from time to time. So far this seems like one heck of a cummunity.

To some extent it is a guessing game but if you use tools like Firebug, Web Developer for Firefox, screen rulers, and color pickers you can whittle the guess time down considerably. Boning up on CSS is a big deal but Firebug can help with that as well as it auto fills when testing.

Have Fun... Glad to have you with us.

Your site is AWESOME looking man. Good work! I wish I had the knowledge you have to do what ya did. Im sure in time I will.

jjgrosso - FYI CastorTroy is no longer using Atahualpa

Hi Patrick,

What about the events calendar?

When I looked at your code via Firebug, I saw it called "jd-calendar", but when I Google that, I get links for Joomla ...?

Thanks,
Chase.

That calendar is one I'm using on 3 sites. It's called My Calendar in the WP plugin repository. It's a fork off of the Kieran O'Shea calendar I had been using, but it's better. Joe Dolson is the developer and he's very responsive to questions, complaints, ideas.

First off, I'd like to thank Flynn for such an incredibly powerful theme. I've been using ATA for about 8 months but didn't realize how much can actually be done in the backend... Anyway, thanks Flynn and to the whole community for your posts. This forum has helped me out greatly. Still have a jQuery conflict but still searching around to see if I can figure this out.

I've viewed quite a few websites that folks put up using ATA and am very impressed with the flexibility and customization that others have made to this theme. I've recently overhauled my website to reflect a new venture and have been messing around with the code for about a week now and believe that it's coming close to it's finish. I still need loads of content for the site, but I think the design is about done.

Please, if you have a chance, check out my site and critique the crap out of it for me!! ;) I greatly appreciate all of the work that has gone into this theme as well as the amount of support that comes with a free theme! One word - AWESOME!! Donation coming your way Flynn, thanks so much again.

The Daily Grind! - http://ibprosource.com :p

What I'm using:
Atahualpa 3.5.1
WP 3.0
Most Recent Versions of PHP, MySQL and APACHE on shared IP

Thanks as always paulae for being so knowledgable :)

Hi,

I see your question has been answered. MyCalendar is a great plug-in, it is very well supported with a great forum. New features are being added all the time. Enjoy!

Patrick.

Just thought I would show off my website. http://friscophotographer.com. It was originally a handcoded site that looked almost the same, still got some work to do but I thought I would show it off already.

Nice Job Anya. Nice photography too.

My blog at http://intensecogitation.info isn't the prettiest, but the options in Atahualpa made it extremely easy to setup and customize. It's one of the few themes where you can just directly edit the theme options without needing to manipulate the PHP files for most tasks. :D

Hi intensecigitation. The prettiness of a site is less important than the content anyway. I did notice you did not have this bug fix applied. Your menu items with submenus are affected. Especially in IE. Just thought you would want to know.

Hi everyone, I am more of a novice, bought thesis and now feeling constrained because of its lack of flexibility. I have spent so many hours learning to use it that switching to Atahualpa will be painful but at the same time unavoidable. My site: http://blog.thetradersforum.net/

I need some guidance, I need to give my blog the look of a press release similar to http://www.zerohedge.com/ My question is how do those guys manage to put featured posts in columns as well as rows on home page.

Any guidance will be much appreciated and is much needed :) Thanks.

Check out ATO>Add NEW WIDGET AREAS. To do something similar to the site you showed you could create a 3 cell widget area in the header and put a recent posts widget in each with perhaps different categories selected if the widget allows.

I had a customer who bought Thesis and wanted me to tweak her site. After a very short time I got frustrated, installed Atahualpa and with 30 minutes I had a very similar look and feel with all the added flexibility. It was fun to see the backend of Thesis as I am now even more convinced that Atahualpa rocks.

Thank you much for the suggestion.

Hey, Chase, how did you get the round twitter icon on MyCoffeePro.com to extend over the right margin of the page and into the background?

Thanks, Lila

Hi Lila, I used a little trick that juggledad helped me with for the email/comments/rss icons.
Go to ATO (Atahualpa Theme Options) --> Style & Edit Header Area --> Configure Header Area --> insert So in my ATO, that entry box looks like this Now you have to tell the div how to appear on the page, so you:
Go to ATO --> Add HTML/CSS Inserts --> CSS Inserts --> insert Hope that's explained well enough :-)

Larry, you are a Smarty-Pants and I love ya for it! :p

I didn't even THINK of doing 3 Recent Posts widgets for Featured Content!

I have a new customer that wants that and I've been trying to wrestle with Plugins and Atahualpa to get the desired effect ... which I did achieve, but I think your solution would be much better.

It's so complicated and required so much code manipulation that I'm not even going to attempt to describe how I did it. I still might try your idea and see how it looks, or try something more simple in anticipation of the change frequency she'll want.

After the client's site goes "live" I'll share it here in the forums, but we have it password-privacy-locked-down until it's complete so nobody can view it.

Well-done, and great food photography.

I have a blog using the Atahualpa theme at: http://sj.foodsci.info

It took a while to get the upgrade to 3.5.1 to work well. The titles could still be bigger (I can't see how to do that). It has a bazillion plugins, and they pretty much seem to all work. If English is not your first language, I have Google Translate in the sidebar.

After spending a few weeks learning the ins and outs of atahualpa and wordpress, I present to you my community blog. It's a website devoted to video game 'griefing', which is essentially players causing one another aggravation in game - it's pretty funny, lots of videos.

http://www.griefermadness.com

Tell me what you think! Join our community if you want!

Very nicely done - the photography is exceptional too.

Can you tell me how you made the background? How did you get the highlight and the drop shadow?

Sorry - meant to quote this.

How did you get the highlight and drop shadow in the background image?

Hi. Just completed a site for my client, a new locksmith. I designed his logo & business cards; the site complements them. Take a look: http://accesskeyusa.com.

I've had this one online for a while now: http://www.heavyconnection.net I am not fully satisfied with the menu bar yet, but I'm afraid that's nothing I can change without sacrificing dynamics for the pages.

This site i've created months ago, i think i made a lot of changes but it still looks like the classic one of Atahualpa, haha :D Have a look at http://ghibli.ismywebsite.com

@ Fux: Hey Fux how did you make it possible for the links not appearing "round border" when clicked on in FF? I really love to do that but never made it :(

Hello,
I have used Atahualpa for creation of Алпинисти - височинна работа - the site of my company Alpmaster Ltd, which provides rope access services. I've never seen so powerful WP theme. I'm impressed by customizing options and seo abilities of Atahualpa. Unfortunately, the content of my site is in Bulgarian (I'm working on English version now), but if you are interested, you can see some pictures in the gallery.
Many thanks to the developers of Atahualpa!

I just found this theme last night. I've managed to change a few items, nothing too drastic though, still learning.

Here's my blog:
http://themommydiariesblog.com/

Reading the boards have been a lot of help. I'm trying to figure out how to add a widget under my header so I can add a featured content slider.

This is a nice clean looking site....well done...

Here is the first site I created with Atahualpa, http://akcaptainwalt.com/

The site turned out so well I have already started converting two other sites over to the theme, and plan on using it for almost all my future projects. What a great product!

First site I used this theme for was my company site (http://www.foxtrak.com). Working on another (much more complex) site now :p

there is a virus on your page man......not cool at alll

I'm getting ready to announce my multi-author site as open for participation soon and would love to get some feedback on it along with any suggestions from the great user community here. I'm still working on getting my shopping cart integrated and a few other tweaks, but it's getting very close everything I envisioned for it so far. It's my first site ever - I knew absolutely nothing about web design or development six months ago, so please be gentle.

Thanks for your input!
