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:



Single Post Page:





3.4.6 can be downloaded here: http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=87

• DONE: Remove left-over code from old IE PNG fix http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...6319#post16319
• DONE: Import/Export function.
• DONE: Comment form will not show up after first comment on a PAGE http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...1593#post21593
• DONE: update functions.php with the new Custom Excerpt code http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3377
• DONE: Combine all 200+ options into 1 option in the wp_options table for better performance (only 1 DB query per pageview) and as a prerequisite for import/export
• Little adjustments needed for RSS/Email/Comment icons for IE6 transparency/background-position.
• Font size of heading of single pages too small if SEO -> Make Post/Page Titles H1? is set to "No"
• DONE: (probably, see post #17 - #19) Various qtranslate issues
• Make the difference clearer between "Read More" tag -> Read more and Configure EXCERPTS -> Custom read more
• Improve integration of Tabbed Widgets plugin. For now, you'll still need to install the plugin, and it will not match every custom style of the rest of your site. This has still some issues, use it only if you know your way around Atahualpa, CSS, etc at least a bit.
• Add Gravatar post info item
• Add Twitter icon/link option for header
• 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

• DONE: Meta tag char encoding, see http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?p=5397
• Option to set own "No Gravatar" image for comments
• Option to show comment form above comments http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?p=6673
• DONE: Add PHP code support for HTML Inserts
• Fix or (more likely) remove the Share-This integration. It can still be used by using the PHP tags that the plugin provides, plus one small edit in the plugin's PHP file, see README.txt of plugin (classic version. I don't know about the membership version).
• Text areas in theme options do not auto-expand when plugin "Share This" is activated, or Form Builder http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=1889

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:
http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...ghlight=thesis
Cheers,
Marc

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!

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!!!

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.

Ditto with what Paulee says, that will help greatly.

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

http://atahualpatheme.com/

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

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)

Great tips. Thank you.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.
