Hi,
Anita Leung has left the following comment at Create Wordpress theme for
BRL-CAD website #2
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2013/5956421170495488:
So
To use this theme, put the brlcad folder in wp-content > themes. Insert
plugins into wp-content > plugins. Make sure you activate the theme
(appearance > theme) and the plugins Advanced Custom Fields, bbPress,
MaxGalleria Lite, Simple Page Ordering, Table of Contents Plus, and WP
Image Slider with Lightbox. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to
submit the Wordpress content I used (yes, I did literally work up to the
last minute) so... here's the dropbox link to download the xml file
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53837149/brl-cad.wordpress.2013-12-29.xml.
To import this file, click tools > import > Wordpress, then choose the file
and upload it. Delete the uneeded users, posts, pages, and categories. Go
to Settings > Reading and where it says "Front page displays," click on "a
static page" and choose the Front page as Front Page and Posts page as
blog. This basically makes Front Page become the home page and Blog become
the page where all the posts are shown.
All the pages are responsive and dynamic. Most of everything I could think
of was checked and styled. The only things that I didn't get to fixing was
mozilla and ie that kept ignoring the max-width I put on the images for the
front page, reordering the content shown on smaller screens, and I could
have maybe designed the comments section differently. I also didn't have
enough time to add special prefixed properties to my stylesheets and double
check if I used best practices for my jquery and php.
My two most favorite things I got working was the front page fading effect
on the pictures when the user hovers his/her mouse over them (by the way,
make sure you only use two images for each about section -- one when the
mouse isn't over the image and another when it is), and the awesome
dropdown menu on the documentation page (which took a heck of lot of css
and jquery to figure out). My other favorite part was designing the pages
and reusing that branded pink color throughout the theme.
For the documentation pages, all you need to insert into the content editor
is [toc] to add a table of contents. When you click on the links, the page
will automatically scroll down to that corresponding section on the page.
(I made it so that the plugin grabs h1 titles and insert them into the
table but you can customize the plugin to grab h2's instead. This way you
could make only h2's appear in the table of contents, and add an h1
anywhere and it wouldn't appear in the table.) To add pictures to the
gallery, create a gallery, add pictures, and insert its shortcode onto the
Gallery page. For the community page, just work with the bbPress forums
options. on the Download and Front Page I created uses custom fields I made
to let make it easy to edit the content.
Sometimes the page looks like it falls apart on refresh and then jumps back
together - this, I found out, was made from the lightbox plugin needed to
display the gallery pictures. I tried a million lightbox plugins and
thought WP Image Slider with Lighbox as best, but you can try some more to
see which lightbox plugin doesn't make the page do this at all.
If you'd like me to modify or fix anything, or you'd like me to help with
configuring the site, please drop me a line. Also if you have any other
tasks about web development/design, it would be great if I could help.
Greetings,
