To-Do for 3.4.7
 
Added May 5, 2010:
3.4.7 should come tomorrow Thursday, May 6, 2010.
Added May 6, 2010 -> Release Fr. May 7, 2010 for sure

The new Import/Export feature finally allows me to change the 2 yo default style. We'll also be able to release and exchange new styles here on the forum. This is one of the 2 extra styles I made, its all contained in the settings file (20 kb), and can be imported with one click:

It would be gnarly if another sidebar option was given, to have a top sidebar section that spans the inner and outside sidebars. I know I'm probably explaining this badly, but basically make the sidebar so widgets could span 2 sidebars.

I guess it would look like this:

|----------SIDEBAR A-------------|
|---SIDEBAR B---|---SIDEBAR C---|

Ya know what I'm talking about?

Adum,
the way to do what you are asking is explained here:

See HOWTO: put an AD (or other) widget over/in the middle/under two sidebars (http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=5419)

Oh nice thanks a lot!

prokopino Mar 8, 2010 12:10 AM

hello and thank you for your really great work!!

i am wondering, the upcoming (when????) 3.4.7 with the new features (import/export and less queries) will be, let say, "updatable" for previus version and if YES, for witch versions?

thanks again for your time and for sharing this!!!

everyman Mar 8, 2010 03:40 AM

Flynn --
lots of people tugging on you I am sure, just be aware that the import/export is key as it will be the foundation of a whole series of Atahualpa child themes that I am planning on developing / soliciting (I will probably make a special website just for this). Similar to the Atahualpa Thesis theme clone

Flynn, as I mentioned earlier, this one: Add redirect mechanism for items in the menu bars so arbitrary links can be added to menu bars through Wordpress, without file edits. NOTE: You can use this: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...age+menu+links will be part of the Wordpress 3.0 core. I've tested it already, and they've added the Woo Themes Custom Navigation feature to the core. You can mix outside URLs, pages and categories in menus, drag and drop the order, put them into widgets.

You might want to make this functionality work with Atahualpa's header.

everyman Mar 8, 2010 05:16 AM

Ditto with what Paulee says, that will help greatly.

everyman Mar 8, 2010 10:57 AM

Here is what I had in mind after the release of 3.4.7, to give you an idea:

Wow, big list, lots to do but some very nice additions

nextstep Apr 1, 2010 07:11 PM

It would be very useful if the title of posts was able to hyper link to an external URL -- as explained here:
http://bit.ly/5ToHer

(if this is already a possibility my apologies for requesting it -- I just haven't been able to find it)

Digikalut Apr 8, 2010 02:08 AM

Great tips. Thank you.

JeffQ Apr 9, 2010 03:01 AM

It would be great to be able to turn off the Atahualpa post options in the Edit Post admin. Currently (3.4.6), the post title fields autopopulate. The alternate post titles don't use the automatic quotation mark and dash conversion system in WP/Tiny MCE. So staight quote marks stay such, and two or three hyphens in a row stay hyphens and don't become en or em dashes, as happens in WP without the theme. The only way I've been able to get the nice quote marks and dashes back is to delete the Atahualpa post title field data and click Publish.

pjmeimei Apr 16, 2010 03:25 PM

Hi Flynn,

As I noticed in the other theme, "Montezuma", if the image width is wider than the middle column, it would be automatically shrink to fit. Do you think same thing can be applied for the Atahualpa as well?

TGsoft Apr 22, 2010 05:24 AM

Hey Flynn,

is it possible to add the Facebook's Universal 'Like' Button after every article as a possible option???

Thank you

Thomas

Edit: It seems that it isn't more necessarily since i found the solution of the Facebook Universal Like button – wp plugin

Thank's again

Thomas

Nice to see that the first post is getting some updates. Because qtranslate is not yet marked "done"...

Flynn, could you please try to get the qtranslate home_link problem out of the way. I think it should be simple for you, but I dit not manage.

The problem is, that whenever one clicks onto the "home" link, one ends up in the default language. So for bilingual blogs/pages this is very annoying. The author of qtranslate has the following suggestion to theme devellopers to make it work: "This is a template problem. Your template is using get_option('home') to get the link for the front page, which is BAD! get_option is not supposed to be used in templates. There is a function called bloginfo for templates. Use that instead and everything will work the way it is supposed to."

I do hope that for you this is very easy to change, when I try to change it I only crash my site....
The translated date, the second qtranslate problem is solved already. Therefore solving the above would cross out another point from the todo list (and make all qtranslate users happy --- sadly we are trapped in, as once you have installed and used qtranslate, changing to another bilingual plugin is nearly impossible as it would need to more or less start with a clean databse or lot of manual work).

I am replacing all "get_option" with output buffer plus "bloginfo" (instead of just "get_bloginfo") for best plugin compatibility.

Does it work for you if you replace in functions/bfa_get_options.php, line 26-29

Old:

PHP Code:

$bfa_ata['siteurl'] = get_option('siteurl');
$bfa_ata['template_directory'] = get_bloginfo('template_directory');

$bfa_ata['get_option_home'] = get_option('home'); 

with New:

PHP Code:

ob_start(); 
    if (
get_bloginfo('wpurl') == '') { 
        
// Older WP versions
        
bloginfo('siteurl'); 
    } else { 
        
bloginfo('wpurl'); 
    } 
    
$bfa_ata['siteurl'] = ob_get_contents(); 
ob_end_clean();
ob_start(); bloginfo('template_directory'); $bfa_ata['template_directory'] = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
ob_start(); bloginfo('home'); $bfa_ata['get_option_home'] = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();

Yeah thanks, that did it. That plus den translated dates solves all qtranslate problems for me (plus disabling page options). I'm not using tinymce but fckeditor though, so I can't say if all qtranslate issues are solved on the backend. The homepage itself is now working correctly!

Good to hear. I am adding this for 3.4.7 and have set the issue to (probably) solved

Hello, i've installed Atahualpa and I tried importing settings from a file but nothing seems to happen.
Is there anything i have to fix like changing the permissions of some folder somewhere?

Also, it might be an option to use Wordpress's built in FTP credential checker for uploading, so users would enter FTP username and password and permissions wouldn't be a problem.

Awaiting a quickfix so i can import my settings!

trusktr Nov 23, 2010 02:46 PM

Nevermind, it seems to be a settings issue between 3.5.1 and greater versions. I tried using the uploadBASE64.php file but that didn't help.

trusktr Nov 25, 2010 03:43 PM

In case anyone is wondering, my file had multiple lines. To fix i joined all the lines together with a space between each. If you don't include a space, it won't work.
