HI,
Fantastic WP template ~ sorry I’m a bit thick.
How do I reinstate the image in the header. Which file and lines of code should I edit.
I know this sounds stupid. Normaly I work it out for myself but I can’t see it.
Thanks,
Bob. (Aberdeen /Scotland)

Hi Bob,
thank you. So you want to put an image in the header part? That ist done via the header.php in the wp-content/themes/relaxation/ directory. In this file you will find the following lines:
<div> <a> --> </div>(I have shortened the lines a little bit, so that they fit in the comment-area ;) ). There you must now comment out the first line wich is displaying the grey headline at default. And then remove the comment tags from the second line. Since, the header.gif I’ve put in the ‘image’ folder is only a dummy, you should replace it with your own image.
Hope this helps. If not, please ask again, okay? :)

jowra,
Your theme is beautiful.
I really like the way that you handle your photos.
Could you tell me the name of the plugin that you use? I am really curious to know and would love to use it on my site if you don’t mind.

JP, do you mean the images that I put into my blog-entries or my photogallery?
The gallery is set up with folderblog, a small php-script that is easy to use and can be designed to your liking. I will shortly add a theme for this gallery that fits to my wordpress-theme. There is a good documentation available, but if you have any specific questions, just ask me. :)

Thanks for the link to folderblog. I must confess I didn’t see the link on the blog until after I posted my inquiry.
If or when you do create a folderblog theme that uses your “relaxation” look, I would be very interested in using it as I’m in the process of setting up my website to utilize wordpress and after looking at many themes, I feel that I will be using yours.
Thanks for all your work.

John.
Was hopping from one WP blog to another till I landed onto yours.
Just wanted to say that yours is a very good template. Perhaps the best I have seen so far.
Another thing. I noticed that most of your blog entries are not in English. Nice, really nice. I am from the Philippines and I also prefer blogging in my native tongue.
As we Filipinos would say, “Ang galing mo, pare!” (“Nice work, dude!”)

Roni, thanks for your words. Really nice to read, that you like my design.
First I was thinking to write in english here and it looks like many readers are coming from english-speaking parts of the world but on the other hand, there are so many blogs in english already and after all my german ist quite better than my english. ;)
Certainly, english is the language which brings people together but a little diversity in the net is still needed too, right? :)

04:04h
Hi Wyatt,
the rss-parsing on my homepage is done via Magpie RSS. My front page is simply an PHP–document and doesn’t belong to wordpress. But it should be no problem to integrate Magpie into an WP-Installation so you can output the feeds to the sidebar, the header-part or an static page. If you need further help, please contact me.

Hello Mike, thank you. :)
On my website I have two installations: WordPress and Folderblog. At the moment they are running parallel to each other, so folderblog is not integrated in WordPress. Therefor copy the WordPress-Theme files in this directory:
/wp-path/wp-content/themes/relaxation/*.*then you can activate it in the admin-panel of wordpress.
In another directory (outside WP) I’ve installed folderblog. Copy my folderblog-files in the root-dir of this installation and everything should be fine. If you have a question about the general installation of folderblog, have a look at the documentation or come back here please and I’ll try to help you out. :)

Ok thnk you so much for your help I have the wordpress installed and your theme installed as well so that part is fine you can see that much here http://www.localmadness.org/journal/ Now do I creat another folder Called “Photos” or something of that sort in the main Public_html and put the folderblog contents that came along with your theme in there? I am sorry to bother you but I am real new to when it comes to this thats why i chose to use Wordpress cause I am not a website designer and wanted something simple if I could only get this script installed everything else should be great. I have read the documentation of folderblog and all the coding seems like foriegn language to me :( so any help is great from you thnx so much again.

Ok I go everythng to work but for some reason when i click on the menu link in the gallery it takes me to a thumbnail page and it blows the theme to pieces and I coonat see any thumbs just boxes with red squares in them and no I dont no how to make a link on my blog to the gallery like you did thnx
jowra
02.05.2005
12:05h
Mike, I’ve looked at it. Good job! :)
Anytime you copy new pictures to the photos-folder you must create the thumbnails first. You do this by opening
http://www.localmadness.org/photos/post.phpinstead ofindex.php. This way you can add a text to the picture, add a date too and generate the thumbnail for that pic. In the passwort-field you put the password provided in thevars.phpand then klick on ‘Create thumb and update’ and everything should be fine.You can also edit the file
relaxation_main.php, search for the word ‘menu’ and change it to whatever you like, e.g. ‘archive’ or ‘thumbs’. Maybe that makes more sense. ;)Now to the link in WordPress: I’ve modified the
sidebar.phpfrom the relaxation theme for you. You can download it here . Unzip the little archive and copy the newsidebar.phpto the relaxation theme folder, that means overwrite the old one. I’m not shure if you like the new entry in the sidebar, but now it should be no problem to edit this file, look at the new entry I’ve made and change it to your liking. :)So far… If you wish a little photo-preview like I have in my sidebar (please tell me if so), there is a last step to go. :)

hello there! really nice theme..i downloaded it and im using it right now as my wordpress theme, hope you don’t mind. i would like to know how to create this feedback page. is it from wordpress or using a third-party program or script? it’s really nice. hope you could help me. thanks in advance! more power & God bless! =)

Hi jaypee! The theme is there for using it, so … thank you. =)
This feedback-page is simply a PAGE in WordPress, which you could create in the admin-center. At this page you can place any text you like and you must make shure that comments are active for this page. It’s that easy. ;)
Edit: Oh, I’ve just seen that I’m using a slightly different
page.php. In the default page, the comment-template is not integrated, so here is a modified version for you: page_with_comments.zip .Please unpack it and copy it to the relaxation template-folder. :)

jaypee, you have to create a logo for your site and copy it in the images-folder of the theme. Then you have to edit this line in the
style.css:body { background: #a9ac99 url(images/jowra.gif) no-repeat top right; ... }Name your Image jaypee.gif or something like that and replace the jowra.gif with yours. That should work. :)

well I think your theme have a problem with the images’ wide, it has to be 400 px, if not, the template is disordered. I fixed it putting images with 400 px of wide ;) jeje, I hope you fix it ‘cause the theme design rocks!
jowra
16.05.2005
12:05h
Thanks jp, but its natural, that you can’t put an image in there with 600 or 700 Pixels, this will ever break the design, in other themes too, right? Or do you mean it should be wide like the post-content? At my site it works, but I will have a look at the download-template.
John

16.05.2005

smooth, elegant and beautiful template design.it feels like I’m reading a paper. I’ve been contemplating from switching from a different Web logging software.

all good things,

If you would like to install and test my theme, I will help you out if there are any problems or questions… as soon as I’m back from holiday (mid-june). ;-)

Dear John,
Congratulations on the cool, clean and airy appearance of the Relaxation theme. I like it so much I have recently adopted it for my blog.
I want to make some minor changes but don’t know enough about CSS to make them. I would like to use a different font (Lucida Sans) for the blog’s title, at a larger size, and to show the blog’s tagline.
I would be grateful for some advice on how to do this.
Regards,
Roger

I would like to start off by saying how aesthetically pleasing to the eyes your template is (even though you probably heard this many times!). You deserve much kudos for your hard work and time.
I do have one question however: is it just me or does the position of certain texts shift when you add images to your post? For example, the texts “Uncaterogized | Edit | Comments” and the heading of your previous posts shift to the right. This shift in texts occurs in multiple pages, including the “Comments” page. Please take a look here to know what I mean. Is there any way to fix this? If you plan to make future versions of this template, please consider this irregularity.
Other than that, this is, to me, the coolest theme I’ve come across. Keep up the great work and thanks!
jowra

Just a short note, since I’m in holiday for three weeks:
Roger thank you and if you have the time to wait till I’m back from holiday, I will answer your questions, okay? First just this tip: You can change the font and the font-size by altering this line in the file header.php:
Jin thank you too and your right, this problem occurs because I’ve put a
float: left;to all images in an entry. Simply remove thefloat: left;command from the following defintion in the style.css;#content img { float: left; margin: 5px 15px 0 0; padding: 0; border: none; }thats all. Thanks for mentioning that and I think I will remove it from the next version right after my holiday. If you still want particular Images floating to the left, simply add an
style="float: left;"definition to the IMG–Tag.All other questions I will answer in three weeks. ;) Till then…
Regards,
John

Hello Jowra
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with your relaxation (blog/folderblog) themes. I had one modification I have been trying to make on the folderblog theme but have not been successful with. I was wondering what modifications I would need to make to the .css or .php documents to get the thumbnail images to layout in a horizontal (side-by-side) manner as opposed to the vertical (on top of each other) format it is currently in. I suspect it has something to do with the #thumbwrapper tag but my attempts to change that have been unsuccessful. Any thoughts? Or was it simply not designed to do that?
Cheers,
Ryan Spratt

Hi Ryan,
could you post a link to your gallery? I’m not shure if I get you right. The layout of the thumbnails should be horizontal by default, so I’m wondering why you have a vertical alignment… Have a look at my Artwork-Gallery where I’m using the template, is it that what you mean? Or please post your Operating System and Browser (+ Browserversion).
Regards,

I have implemented it here: www.itgurl.com/blog. Can you tell me what happened to my links, categories, search, etc. on the sidebar?
I also want to attempt to several modifications:

I only know enough of CSS to get myself in trouble.

Hallo John,
dein Template ist das schönste welches mir bis jetzt unter die Finger gekommen ist!!!
Installation hat perfekt funktioniert. Jetzt dachte ich mir, dass es eine gute Idee wäre am Template ein wenig herumzumachen um z.B. die Farben zu ändern.
Jetzt bin ich nicht der Photoshop Crack:-( Ich kann das von dir zur Verfügung gestellte .psd File nicht dahingehend verändern, dass ich z.B. den Hintergrund nach blau ändern kann.
Wäre es unverschämt, ein .psd zu bekommen, indem ich auch den Hintergrund ändern kann? Sorry für meine Dreistigkeit, aber das Template ist einfach zu Geil um es zu vernachlässigen;-)
Deine PS Aktion habe ich auch schon im Photoshop CS mit deiner Anleitung abgearbeitet, allerdings ohne Erfolg. Leider kommt “Der Befehl ausweiten steht zur Zeit nicht zur Verfügung” ziemlich am Ende der Aktion auf, sodas ich keine Ergebnis bekomme.
Vielen Dank im voraus und vielen Dank für das Template.

Liz, Du hast nicht viel falsch gemacht. ;) Du mußt nur vorher die Version 2 von Folderblog komplett downloaden und installieren und dann erst die Dateien aus meiner ZIP–Datei darüber kopieren. Dann ist auch die
post.phpdabei. ;)Nate, thanks a lot. :) If I do a custom design for a little money, depends on the amount of work and time which I must put in. Generally, why not? ;-)

hey,
ich habe ein problem mit deinem almanac template. ich habe es so gemacht wie du es einen beitrag oben drüber geschrieben hast. undzwar erstmal folderblog 2 installiert, dannach einfach deine template dateien in den ordner kopiert und in vars.php den template namen umbenannt. leider gibt er mir jetzt fehler in der index.php aus…
keine ahnung kannst du nicht vielleicht né detailierte kleine anleitung schreiben?

Sorry Alex, aber beim Almanac-Template steht eigentlich deutlich, daß es ein Folderblog 3 Theme ist. Mit Version 2 funktioniert das garantiert nicht, weil sich wesentliche Funktionen geändert haben.

Regarding Comment 47
Hello Jowra,
Your exactly right. The issue is browser related I am a mac “Tiger 10.4.2” user and I was viewing the page in Safari and the thumbnails stack vertically not horizontally. However in Explorer and Firefox they display horizontally. Curious I wonder what makes the difference with Safari.
By the way I ADORE your 4 Elements work! What did you use to create that beautiful linework, is that a 3D render?
Cheers, Ryan

Hi Ryan,
okay, I will have a look at the safari-problem, although it’s hard to diagnose an error on a system that I didn’t own. ;-)
The elements-series is done with Apophysis a neat little program which renders so called ‘fractal flames’. The output is often amazing, but my images are then postworked in Photoshop. :)
Thank you,
John

John,
For a long time I had been looking for phto gallery script and theme that would suit my aesthetic taste and my search ended at folderblog and your page…I fell in love with your almanac theme for folderblog…it is so elegant, minimal and yet stylish…I’ve already set it up for test purposes but I’m having a problem which I’ve been unable to solve as of yet…perhaps you could help me out?
The problem is that the comments feature is not working for some reason…once you comment the comment just fails to appear on the page or in the comments folder on the server…can you think of a solution? If you want to check out the gallery yourself you can find it at www.arthedains.com/visual/ I’d be very grateful if you could look into the problem. Many thanks in advance…and I apologise for rambling on for so long…
BTW looks like your are German….I live in Cologne or Koeln actually!

Hi Anil, thanks for your kind words. :) I think the easiest would be, sending me the whole folder of your folderblog-installation, so I can test it offline. At the same time, you can also ask for help in the folderblog-discussion-forum, there are some great cracks and maybe they find the error faster.
Cologne is a very nice town and the kind of living art there is great. Where do you come from originally? Or maybe you could answer that by mail when you send me the folderblog directory. ;-)

Onga, have a look over here. And some weeks earlier, I’ve created a Photoshop-Action too, but there was some feedback, that it doesn’t work sometimes in Photoshop 6 and 7 (In CS it should run fine).
And please, leave a link here when you’ve finished the phpbb-Theme. ;-)

jowra
05.08.2005

The PS action creates the relaxation-style for a defined geometric object, thats more flexible. I can’t find the PSD files for the splitted version at the moment, but I’m searching. ;-)

warmac aka onga
06.08.2005
02:08h
spoke too soon, it appears that the photoshop action gets the shape ok but the spacing between the split column is tricky, mine ends up more space and if i bring it to close the 2 columns merge, so the end result is it looks similiar to the one you had but with a bigger gap inbetween
jowra
06.08.2005
03:08h
Best way is, to make the standard-shape, cut out the left and right border separatly and mirror them. Then put the pieces in the right position. Thats what I did. I have a new PC and I guess the PSD for the splitted version is on my old one. So I will add it soon. =)

jowra,
I’m using the relaxation template with wp 1.5.2 and every thing is good except… I added gravatars plugin and if you look at the post named “Blog Design” in the comments field using FireFox you’ll see it works great. However, using MS IE 6.02, the comments overlap the gravatar images. Can you help me? What do I need to change to fix it for all to see correctly.
thanks

Hi Richard!
You’re modification looks great and the gravatar-problem should be no problem. ;-)
First: include the link with the gravatar-image within the LI-Element of the comment, like:
[li class="commentbody" id="comment-54"] [a href="http://www.gravatar.com/" title="Create your own gravatar at gravatar.com!"] ... ... [/li]and so on…
Second: the gravatar-class in the CSS–File is a little bit faulty. It should look like this:
.gravatar { position: relative; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px; border: 1px solid #333; background: #fff; }and maybe the same for .postgrav
It looks like you would set the height and width of the gravatar to 20px, but you forgot a semicolon after the height definition. Also you can remove the margin-definitions or better set them to zero, since they not needed. Important is to set the position to relative, otherwise it won’t work.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
John
Richard Hendrix
06.10.2005
06:10h
John,
Thanks for the suggestions and help… I updated the css file but the comment body is still covering the gavatar in Internet Explorer. It looks good in FireFox. I am using a plugin called Gravatars 2.6 that adds the gravatar link to the image in the post.
I’m lost when it comes to css, where would the [li class=”commentbody” id=”comment-54″] go? In the comments.php file?
Once a response is left the box surrounding the response covers the gravatar. Only in Internet Explorer…
thanks again for looking,
richard

When you can, look at my post “Blog Design”. There are 2 responses under that post. I changed the margin: 0 0 10px 0 to margin: 0 0 10px 60px; in the tag .commentbody in the css to achieve this position in IExplorer 6.0.
However, you will notice that the second response the image is under the comment body? Also, the response numbers are missing all together instead of appearing in the comment body on the left.
thanks for all your help,
richard

I am very impressed with your design, especially the photo gallery. I would like to ask for your advice regarding folderblog. I have been trying to install it on my website and I keep getting errors. I read many help files and forums about folderblog but none provided a solution.
The errors I’m getting are:
Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in d:\…\folderblog\fb.php on line 17
Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in d:\…\folderblog\fb.php on line 20
Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open ‘thumbs/20051028202453.jpg’ for writing in d:\…folderblog\fb.php on line 79
Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open ‘thumbs/20051028202453.jpg’ for writing in d:\…\folderblog\fb.php on line 79
I recently read in a forum that folderblog will not run on IIS, which I believe is what my server runs since I am hosted on Windows Server 2003.
From your experience could this be the problem? I’d appreciate any help or recommendations you’ll be willing to share. Thanks in advance.

Hi John,
First off all, thank you very much for the fabulous themes (both Relaxation and Almanac) that you designed.
I have been experimenting with applying them for several days, but there is a problem which I am not sure how to solve.
My question concerns Almanac for FB3beta16
In the “Archive” page (with the thumbnails) the title of the page is displayed as. Other pages display their titles correctly. I noticed your website displays it correctly as Jowra – Photolog.
Should I simply edit the file “almanac_archives.php” and change the line:
""to for example
My Archive?Or should I change it to something which is more ‘dynamic’, ‘php’, ‘transitional’, etc.?
Please help… And thanks again for the great job you did!
Best,
J.

You can simply change the title to anything you want, static text or dynamic symbols of folderblog, like #fbtitle#. Both should work.

Hi,
ich habe Deine Site per Zufall via IOFF entdeckt und würde gerne in meinem Blog einen kurzen Beitrag mit einer Grafik (“wood”) illustrieren, natürlich mit Copyright-Angabe und Link zu deiner Site. Wäre das ok? Ich mache selbst Grafik (auch 3D, aber ich habe mich nie so recht an POV–Ray gewöhnen können; ich benutze Blender 2.35, für den übrigens gerade nahtlose Unterstützung des (Open Source) High-end-Renderers Aqsis in Arbeit ist (Aqsis unterstützt das RenderMan®–Interface von Pixar).

Hallo Claus,
das Bild kannst Du natürlich gerne verwenden, es unterliegt ja auch wie alle anderen der Creative Commons License. ;-)
Blender habe ich auch installiert, aber ich bin seit ca. 1992 so auf PoV-Ray geeicht, daß mir ein Umstieg schwer fällt. Im Moment kämpfe ich z.B. gerade mit der Verwendung von HDR–Images. Irgendwie schluckt mein Blender (v2.37) diese Bilder nicht. Nehme ich ein JPEG als Umgebungstextur funktioniert es, aber das ist ja dann keine “High Dynamic Range” mehr. ;-) Anyway, die Ergebnisse sehen natürlich schon sehr gut aus (ich verwende Yafray im Moment). Mit PoV-Ray kriege ich das normalerweise auch hin, aber da ist die Gestaltung von komplizierteren Objekten etwas schwierig.
Viel Spaß mit dem Bild und einen schönes Blog hast Du da… ist gebookmarkt. :-)
LG

Hello!
I am enjoying very much your folderblog and worpress templates, they are beautifull! I have noticed a slight difference between the wordpress relaxation theme and the wordpress jowra theme you are using for your personnal blog. On yours, one can put a photograph in the header as oppossed to the relaxation theme where one can only write the name of the blog. Would it be possible to use your jowra theme? Have you done it in english also? If not, is it possible to modify the relaxation theme in order to have a picture in the header instead of a name? Which file needs to be changed? Currently in the wordpress relaxation theme, there is a rather big white space between the nama of the blog and the first post as opposed to you theme. Would you mind telling me where to reduce that white space?
One last question if I may, you home page (www.jowra.de) is beautifull. Was it generated by wordpress?
Many thanks.
Olivier

No Problem Olivier and thank you for your commendation. :) The white space below the header could be changed by editing the style.css file include in the theme-package. Look out for the element #header and change the “height”-definition to your liking.
And my frontpage is a separate page, although I’m planning to integrate that one into wordpress.
Regards,
John

been using your relaxation theme on WP1.5 for a while and have decided to allow searches from the WP search box but I can’t get it to work. It will search but it searches the words you enter into it at www.blog2.com instead of in the WP directory. Is there a way to set the path to the WP directory? I have it located in frhendrix.com/blog2.
Any ideas?

I read the post of Bob Gentle
Dienstag, 19. April 2005 22:31 and your reply…“There you must now comment out the first line wich is displaying the grey headline at default. And then remove the comment tags from the second line. Since, the header.gif I’ve put in the ‘image’ folder is only a dummy, you should replace it with your own image”.
but I still don’t get it. You say to remove the comment tag… which one…could you re-explain for this dummy in Georgia, USA.
(I have shortened the lines a little bit, so that they fit in the comment-area ;)

Me again, Post 113, sorry to be a pest. I just wanted to clarify my question about your explanation on the header image. It’s the jargon that’s confusing me. “Comment out” and then you use the term “Remove the Comment Tags”, is that not the same thing? Could you please clarify the “first” line and the “Second” Line. I love this template and am being tenacious.
Perrine

Hello; Neon from the WP forum explained it to me and I am adding for other folks to see the solution. It worked perfectly.
- Upload your header image to the /images/folder within the /relaxation/theme folder. Either name it header.gif or change the “header.gif” entry in header.php to whatever your image is named.
- “uncomment” simply means remove “” second line of the code.
then you should remove the line right above the one you just uncommented. The entire line after
and before

Nice work.
Can i ask how or what plugin/technolgies have you used to create the theme of you photogallery?
I have used folderblog and wp, but the photogallery is much more impressive than the artgallery using Almanac II theme.
I am mostly interested in the part when you click on “comments”, was this done using AJAX?
Did you integrate wp with fb3 or did you just match the layout?
I would appreciate your help. thanks,
