You have some poetry on Firewindproductions.com. Your theme make me think to Adrian Jean's work. Really good.

I will ad your site and destr0yr's one to ours links on the french portal. It's good to have a lot of design inspiration for Geeklog community.

New Theme: Garden 1.4 Released!

Bonjour Cordiste,

Let me offer my praises for Garden, it's a beautiful theme for Geeklog.

I installed Geeklog 1.3. on my server for the first time approximately 25 hours ago, after viewing your geeklog.fr web site.

Once I saw it, I knew that's what I wanted for my web site too.

After getting Geeklog going and adding a couple of stories and some links, I have just now copied the garden directory into my /public_html/layouts/ directory and enabled it in my Preferences.

You can see the result here:

http://sustainablelivingsolutions.com/

It looks fantastic.

I would like to increase the default font size by 1 across the entire theme. Is there an easy way to do this?

I realise that there are almost always little bugs and things to resolve and so I wonder if you can assist me.

Being a brand new Geeklog user, I'm not sure how to make fixes where the theme breaks in the admin pages.

So, there are some problems with the admin pages for the Garden theme.

These are working fine in Professional, but broken in Garden.

Are you able to suggest where I can find the missing files, or how I should modify the links?

Here are some of breakages in the admin pages, which I realise you cannot access, but I've pasted in the text displayed in the pages:

http://sustainablelivingsolutions.com//admin/story.php
Template Error: filename: file /home/slscom/public_html/.//layout/garden/admin/story/liststories.thtml does not exist.
Halted.

http://sustainablelivingsolutions.com//admin/block.php
Template Error: filename: file /home/slscom/public_html/.//layout/garden/admin/block/listblocks.thtml does not exist.
Halted.

http://sustainablelivingsolutions.com//admin/link.php
Template Error: set_root: /home/slscom/public_html/.//layout/garden/admin/link is not a directory.
Halted.

http://sustainablelivingsolutions.com//admin/event.php
Template Error: filename: file /home/slscom/public_html/.//layout/garden/admin/event/eventlist.thtml does not exist.
Halted.

http://sustainablelivingsolutions.com//admin/poll.php
Template Error: set_root: /home/slscom/public_html/.//layout/garden/admin/poll is not a directory.
Halted.

I won't test the remainder of the admin links right now, but that's a good list to start with.

Can you suggest what I need to do to correct these errors?

Thanks and happy regards,

Bradley C Hughes

Bradley Garden 1.4 is made for Geeklog 1.4. With Geeklog 1.3 try to copy the missing files from the Professionnal theme and tell me if it's ok.

You have a double / in your path...

Hi Ben,

I copied everything in /layout/professional/admin/ that wasn't in /layout/garden/admin/ into /layout/garden/admin/ but did not write over any of the files already in garden.

My admin functions are now all working correctly so far as I can tell.

I also fixed the // problem; there was "/./" on the end of my 'site_url' setting in config.php.

Thanks for the tip on the sitebody font size setting, I changed it to 0.8em which I reckon is a good readable size.

Now I have an issue with the Links displayed in the right hand column. They are truncated and don't wrap fully.

Is there an easy way to widen the whole content box and this right hand column so that the Links appear in full? Should I make them smaller em, is that in the setting for <ul> in style.css?

On my main page where the text "Welcome to Sustainable Living Solutions!" appears at the top of the content box, is there a way to get this all extending on a single line, with the links for " Email Article To a Friend " and " View Printable Version " dropping down below the date stamp line, as per the second article?

I hope you don't mind these type of elementary questions, but I am just figuring out how all this works.

Thanks and happy regards,

Bradley C Hughes

You should install Geeklog 1.4 if you don't want to make a lot of modifications... ;)

For Garden theme make sure $_IMAGE_TYPE = 'png'; in functions.php under garden folder and images print.png and email.png will be display instead of texte Email Article To a Friend & View Printable Version .

I will look at ul soon.

Some changes in the css
ol, ul { list-style: square; font-size: 1.0em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.2em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 0em; padding-left: 1.3em; }

Seems to be better in firefox and ie

To increase all font size, you need to modify font size in .sitebody class in the style.css. Try 0.8em or more.
