Hallo, ich kann das Handbuch leider nicht online finden und ich brauche es um mir mal alles durchzulesen da ich Probleme habe die Bilder einzurichten und mit den Kategorien. Ohne Anleitung ist das mist. Hast Du die irgendwo versteckt? In der readme steht die Anleitung sei online. Danke für Deine Hilfe und viel Glück im Hafen der Ehe
Naja von einem “Handbuch” steht da nix sondern von einer kurzen Dokumentation und von den Tutorials.
Schau mal hier: http://www.der-prinz.com/2008/01/25/wordpress-theme-im-magazin-stil-branfordmagazine-wordpress-magazine-style-theme-branfordmagazine/
und hier: http://www.der-prinz.com/category/tutorials/
Außerdem gibt´s ein eBook dazu (nicht von mir und nur in Englisch): http://www.der-prinz.com/2008/04/10/buchempfehlung-fuer-wordpress-beginner-book-reference-for-wordpress-beginners-sites-that-soar/
I am using this theme on jonathanspencer.net I want to thank you for producing such a good theme, stylish and relatively easy to set up and use. Its an interesting way of producing a blog.
Your tutorial is not correct at all!!!
In the theme you call the Leadimage by using:
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); echo ‘/’; echo get_option(’upload_path’); echo ‘/’;
However the upload_path is quite a bit more on some websites and together with the call for bloginfo(’url’) you get http://domain.com//home/bccra/public_html/domain.com/wp-content/uploads/200x/xx/xxx.jpg
Can’t be right, huh?
Furthermore a lot of “tutorials” mix your 2 themes like it is some Kartoffelsalad…
Not happy at all with this, uninstalled it after wasting hours of my valuable time
on top of that I cannot seem to find any reference to the timthumb script and you don’t have it included? Do we have to get it somewhere ourselves and tweak it or sth?
Piet, if you use th latest (and always reccomended) version 2.6 of BranfordMagazine you would see that this call to the images has changed because of the reason you described.
it is now (e.g. for the leadimage):
< img src="< ? php // this is where the Lead Story image gets printed $values = get_post_custom_values("leadimage"); echo $values[0]; ? >" alt="leadimage" id="leadpic" / >This requires the complete image URL placed in the custom field (as mentioned in the tutorial).
The tutorials are all written for Branford and can be adapted for Wynton with a bit of common sense. I can´t see where I mixed them up. If so let me know where and I´ll correct it.
And finally you are right. Timthumb is NOT included in my themes. Maybe I include it in an upcoming version…maybe not.
Thousands of people got the themes up and running by using my tuts, the support forums which and of course their brain. So it can´t be this big deal.
Be aware that this all comes for free!
Eine Sache: bei dem “leadimage” Feld muss der komplette Imagepfad angegeben werden - die Angabe des relativen Pfades funktioniert nicht.
Tutorial ist entsprechen geändert (im Text, nicht die Screenshots).
I have the same problem like Marcos, i try to Write a new Post, i insert a new Image, i haved put into the custom filed this leadimage and the 2009/…. and it’s doesn’t working where is the problem?
The main problem is that you use the comment function instead of the support forums as advised. Sorry if this sounds rude but somethimes I need to be explicit on this.
Hi,
I like brandford magazine style. Can I download only its style and tabs in my template? Pls help me how to use its style and tab. I am using blog not wordpress. Pls help.
I am using this theme but finding it difficult to work with. If I knew what I was doing that would probably help a little. But, none the less, I wish they could make it a lot easier to customize to you own individual style.
I have found the tutorials very helpful, and also the forum. Have you reviewed these well?
Well, it´s not a plug&play theme and it requires of course some advanced knowledge but the tutorials and the forums are helpful I assume.
Hi! I’m currently using this theme but i have a difficulty customizing it, e.g., adding images and showing the lead article.
I hope you could help me. Thanks for this wonderful theme!
Got mine installed on WP Version 2.7 and some reported problems with leadimage. I tried the suggested work around but the line of code to be replaced wasn’t even present in ui_tabs.php in my installation. It is really a shame because the design is truly stellar. I’m new to Word Press and pretty excited about using it but my excitement is somewhat tempered because it seems like the wild wild west with theme compatability, usability issues and install issues abounding. Hope this theme can get sorted out. I’d love to use it and would happily make a donation when it does.
Always use the latest version which is available on this website. If you are new to WordPress than neither Branford nor Wynton might be the best choice to start from because they are no “plug&play” themes and require some advanced knowlege and basic work before you can start.
But they are set up and tested properly and they run without issues in all WP versions from 2.3 up to the latest 2.7.
I do my best to provide any required help through my support forums but I expect people also to do THEIR best to learn how to work with the themes and to use all available ressources (such as the tutorials, the forums, the WordPress codex and Google search in general) before asking me for help.
where’s directory uploads?? I dont see afret wp-content..
@Marcos you’re doing something wrong! If you have wrote your article you need to add in the costumfield (scroll down untill you see it) Then click on add new or something like that and type: leadimage then nex to it you type the url of your image and then click on the button so it’s going to work. And you will see: It works!
