Hey, I love this theme. This is such excellent work!! Thank you very much! Here’s where I used it if you wish to check it out – http://quixotebroadcasting.com/blog/ .

Hello,

I mentioned above how great I think this theme is. I will write about it soon on my blog, and let everbody know about it on that watches my site Rabbit Bites. I am implementing it here http://www.quixotebroadcasting.com/blog/ and love how it looks. One thing I didn’t realize is that the image doesn’t scale to fit different sizes of resolutions/monitors. I have one computer with a 13 inch screen where the image gets cut off and another much larger screen inch where I get back borders. Do you know of a way to scale/stretch the image to fit the different sizes? I would very much appreciate any tips/help. I have looked at some pages where folks are talking about it like this http://www.cssplay.co.uk/comments/comments.php?comment_id=100%%20background%20image but it is beyond my skill to figure it out.

I am at nquixote (at sign here)rabbitbites.com and would very much appreciate any help. Thank You!

Thanks to share the theme

Theme bug.
When I have more than one post on a given day, the first post on that day comes up with today’s date instead of the date the post was created. The second post on that day works correctly.

I run a test site locally and post things there before I put it on the real site. Both run PHP5 and mysql. Both run the same version of WP and the theme. However, the test site uses MS IIS and the real site uses Apache. Not exactly sure at the moment if the mysql versions match.

The test site does not have this problem, only the real one. Switching to default or classic theme has the dates grouped properly. I’d fix it myself, but I don’t think I’m qualified. I’m still trying to figure out how the various php files talk to one another. I’d hate to break my site.

[...] thanks to Leen for The Scenery Wordpress theme. It is one of the more cool, versatile themes around, [...]

oh and my website is corporatebaseball.us

Great theme, I love it. Keep up the awesome work I will be checking for updates. I am using it on my blog http://www.automatonsadrift.com. Check it out sometime.

Thanks again! =)

Using the flash background image control results in an error in both IE6 and IE7. I believe the function getTheSceneryThemeSettings is returning one too many elements since the last element is followed by a comma “,”. This makes the last element of the array an unnamed key with a value of semicolon “;” and the page does not render. Page works in FireFox, Safari, Opera, and Konqueror – IE is the only browser showing problems. Using standard text/css style does not cause a problem.

Some (not all) IE6 browsers I’ve used for testing don’t display the pages at the top. Weird.

Modified style.css to include:

.caption { margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
border: solid 1px #E5E5FF;
background: #E5F2FF;
font-size:90%;
color: black }
.right { float: right; }
.left { float: left; }
img.right { padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px; display: inline; }
img.left { padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0; display: inline; }
img{
padding: 1px;
margin: 1px;
}
#footer-counter{
width: 100%;
font-size: 10px;
height: 46px;
padding: 1px 45% 2px 0;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: center;
background-color: #000;
opacity: 0.8;filter:alpha(opacity=80);zoom:1;
}

Put my hit counter code into footer.php as div footer-counter immediately after body-close. Seems to work.

Rendering very poorly in Microsoft Internet Exploder. In IE6 the top page menus (Home, About, etc.) are not being rendered at all. In IE7 they show up but the search control is misplaced. I cannot implement the flash image handling or the site won’t come up at all in either version of IE. For instance, your site in IE 6 or 7:

Line: 747
Char: 9
Error: Expected identifier, string or number
Code: 0
URL: http://leen.name/creations/the-scenery-wp-theme/lang/zh/

I think the ‘foreach’ loop in function getTheSceneryThemeSettings builds a parameter string that gets passed to the flash object. These parameters are key=>value pairs followed by a comma. Since the last parameter is also followed by a comma, under IE it is passing one too many parameters and rendering fails.

I don’t know enough about php to fix it and since most of the known universe uses IE the site has to display well in IE or I can’t use the theme. Using just the text/css method for now so the site will work for most browsers.

The pages rendering under IE6 and the flash rendering failure under all versions of IE are both critical errors.

Hello!
I can’t understand how to change the background. Can you help me??

Hey Leen,

LOve the theme. I’m having a problem that happened once before. It happened before when I tried to upgrade wordpress, so I’m not sure if it’s related to an upgrade yesteray or not. I’m on mac osx and Vista. Doesn’t matter what browser: same problem. Not using zoom or anything (I tried these but only get a black screen instead of my image)

HERE’S THE PROBLEM: The sidebar appears below all of the posts. See here:http://quixotebroadcasting.com/blog/. Can’t you tell me how to correct this? Much appreciated.

Great theme. To simlish, just copy your image file (JPG) to the “/wp-content/themes/the-scenery/” and rename it “11670011000.jpg”.

Love the theme for sure in Firefox, but I can’t get it render at all in IE7, which renders it useless! Tons of people on IE out there! Search field not rendering, background not rendering, and none of my widgets are rendering. If I’m able to figure out what’s going on in the code, and how to fix it, I’ll make another post.

I have a few questions. I am trying to build a site with this theme, as it is by far and away my favorite of any on the wordpress site. But I am running into a few issues.
1. With wordpress 2.7, the ‘design’ section of the admin appears to be gone, and I see no way to change the background picture of the blog unless it is done manually by uploading a different picture of the same name. Is this correct?
2. If I want to use different background pictures on different static pages – say, one pic for a page selling baseball equipment, a different background pic for a page about basketball equipment – can that be done?
3. Can the search box at the top be moved over to the widgets area for sites with a number of pages? This is one of the few themes I have seen with a top navigation bar, and the search being there seriously hinders it.
4. Is there a way to put long bullet points of text into 2 or more columns, instead of long scrolling?
5. The theme seems to render fine for me in IE7, but with no background picture, as stated earlier.

I am using this theme as well! I love it… Thanks for sharing!

Sorry guys it screwed up, didn’t enclose in tags, here it is again


function getTheSceneryThemeSettings(){
return {
$value){
$buffer[] = $key.": '".$value."'";
}
$comma_separated = implode(",", $buffer);
echo $comma_separated;
?>
};
}


I wasn’t able to post on your blog.
but thank you very much Rob!

I will fix this bug tomorrow.

Thanks for the new .6 version, works well. As a note, I upgraded to WP 2.7, and the original version I was using (.1 I think) was working fine in IE at that point. At any rate, all is working well, LOVE the theme, thanks leen!

Love the theme thanks – i’ve adapted it and used it for my friend’s site here: http://ciaraconsidine.com

Thanks for the email update on the new theme! Really appreciate it!

Number 28, above asked a question that I don’t see a response to. I also would like to be able to have a different picture as the background on each page. Is this possible and can you instruct me as to how to do this?

I really like the theme and the ease in using the code.
Thanks,
Lori

ok, i hope for your sake leen that i am the last person to ask these questions. 1stly how do you change the background image & can u use different images for different pages?

what do u mean by putting ur own image with the name “11670011000.jpg”? do u mean that i should my jpg image name and then “11670011000.jpg” after it. or do i need to change the name of my pic to “11670011000.jpg”?
is there anyway you could put up a real quick web video of it? would stop so many headaches.

i also have a problem as since i have tried to change the image. the image does not stay in view when i scroll down the page. it goes out of view and just shows a black screen.what have i done?

oh and do you know how the author of this blog http://www.elks.de/blog/ has created that effect on the front page. The revolving image with links, its really impressive.

help would really be appreciated.
thanks

Here is a technique that does not use Flash to achieve the same effects:

Cool.
Thanks.

Why there is no “Categories” when you are not on Home page? Can it be changed?
Is there a way that Category stays always “open”?

OK not exactly what I was thinking, but you can check this out at http://www.jokalux.co.rs

Hello Leen how are you?! Thank you for this great theme! I’m using / adapting it to a restaurant in Marrakech’s famous Djemaa el Fna Square.

I have one request please, how can I make the sidebar menus, like language menu and links full time visible? Is this hard to do?

thank you, check out the website at http://www.aichamarrakech.com/ , greetings from Sahara Desert!

Thank you! I’ll be waiting. cheers.

Hi!

Thank you for a great theme! I’m using it for a non-profit student organization in Sweden, and it works great!
I’ve made some modifications to it, just to make it show different backgrounds depending on what date and time it is, thought it’s not made using a flash movie as João asked for.
Otherwise the theme works great!

Hey João

It’s actually not reloaded each time you reload the page, it’s just reloaded depending on what time it is. But, here’s the code (insert it in functions.php just above the regular background code):


//Andreas' addition
//This part check whether the day and hour is odd or even and changes the background accordingly
if ((date("d")) % 2) {
if ((date("h")) % 2) {
$CSS_bg = '/images/bio_1.jpg';
} else {
$CSS_bg = '/images/wind_2.jpg';
}
} else {
if ((date("h")) % 2) {
$CSS_bg = '/images/wind_3.jpg';
} else {
$CSS_bg = '/images/wind_4.jpg';
}
}
//End of Andreas' addition



backgroundImage => get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/11670011000.jpg',



backgroundImage => get_bloginfo('template_url') . $CSS_bg,


Good luck!

Good luck implementing it!
Thanks for the invite! I’ll let you know the next time I’m nearby!
