Plainbox v2.2 out now!

01 04 2008

是我的第二個設計的wp theme , version 1版已是在2006年製作的 ,由於wp到目前已update了很多version了, 所以決定製作一個新的version2版本。

PlainBox is mostly K2, just with some minor design tweaks here and there. This
is the second wp theme made by me .The 1 version was develop since 2006.As WP
has updated many version , so I decided develop the new version compatible with
WP 2.5+.

plainbox 是我在學習 css和ajax的習作, 設計理念是以簡潔, 優雅為主 , 所以亦用了天鵝為他的logo。

I practise CSS and AJAX Skill during develop the theme, so, there may be many mistakes on this theme, If anybody finds mistakes ,
please tell me and i will try my best to fix them.

由於平日的工作很忙, 所以平時只有在lunch time 抽出時間製作, pb的製作期十分長, 由計劃到完成已有3個月多了,pb適用於wp2.3+ 版本,
但在wp就快出的2.5版本可能一些功能就不能正常運作。

Plain v2 Bata is work fine with WP2.5

As I am a junior in using css, the style of this theme may not be good. I test pb v2.0 in firefox v2 & v3, and it look fine, but in IE7, it may get some mistakes. If anyone knows how to fix this error, Please let me know . Please have a try and feel free to give me some feedback about it. Thank you very much.

Please post your suggestions/questions in the comment form below. I will try to answer them if time allows. Also I would request other users to answer the queries by fellow users if possible.

(Please let me know about any mistakes in grammar . I’m not so good at English but I’ll try to fix them)

    I love the theme, been waiting for it, but I am getting the following error

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: c2c_get_custom() in /home/*****/public_html/wp-content/themes/plainbox_2/theloop_home.php on line 19

    Note:”*****” changed from my directory

    Any help guys?

  4. Gravatar Icon 4 CyberBlack03 Apr 2008

    Thx a lot, i’ll try it.

    U rock!

  5. Gravatar Icon 5 Alis03 Apr 2008

    I’m getting the same error as Wes. Also, my header image keeps repeating like a tiled desktop background…. I sized it to your specifications so I don’t understand why I’ve having the problem. :S Those are my only problems so far. Note: I have the maintenance mode plugin activated currently so I can work on the theme behind the scenes, if you need to see what I’m seeing I can take screenshots an e-mail or of course deactivate the plugin.

    Maybe a bug, or not, I don’t know. Look this error.
    [CODE]Warning: filemtime() [function.filemtime]: stat failed for /www/*********/htdocs/wp-content/themes/pbox/styles/darkblue/style.css in /www/mindokan.com.ar/htdocs/wp-content/themes/pbox/app/classes/k2.php on line 75

    If you go into styles folder, you found nothing here…

  9. Gravatar Icon 9 Jay Kwong04 Apr 2008

    I’m using the latest version of wp.

    Did you install
    “Get Custom Field Values”
    Plugin ?

  10. Gravatar Icon 10 MinDokan04 Apr 2008

    I’m using the latest version of wp too. You must. Install Get Custom Field Values. If not, you will recibe an error. Ok… Looks nice theme…

    Good work Jay. Thanks for all!!!!!!!!

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 Alis04 Apr 2008

    Okay, that problem’s been fixed, but my header image is still tiling on most loads… :S

  12. Gravatar Icon 12 Jay Kwong04 Apr 2008

    Okay, that problem’s been fixed, but my header image is still tiling on most loads… :S

    what is the size of your header image? may i have a look of it?

  13. Gravatar Icon 13 MinDokan05 Apr 2008

    Jay Kwong. Can I modify some theme code and colors? For example, add for show the thags?

  14. Gravatar Icon 14 Alis05 Apr 2008

    Hi Jay, I’d love to let you look, but now when I log in to WP all that’s coming up is “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /home/…/public_html/allthatsgood.ca/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 31″ it only started this morning when I re-activated the pb v2 theme. Any ideas?

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 Alis05 Apr 2008

    Also further to my above comment, when I deleted it completely from the themes folder I no longer got the message… My second question is far less important than how to fix my error, but is it possible to remove the thumbnails feautre? I don’t have a lot of room on my site sadly (I’m being hosted for free by a friend) so can’t upload many images.

  16. Gravatar Icon 16 MinDokan05 Apr 2008

    Alis, respect to your error, when you error, “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /home/…/public_html/allthatsgood.ca/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 31″ you must go to another page that not to the dashboard, for ex. “/wp-admin/themes.php” and later deactivate in K2 Options, the sidebar manager. Remember K2 is not totally compatible with 2.5 wordpress.

    Sorry for my English :(

    Okay :) I’m putting PB back on my site, I’ll deactivate the maintenance mode plugin as soon as that’s done and let you take a peak at my header image.

    WEE. going to test it now.

  19. Gravatar Icon 19 MinDokan06 Apr 2008

    Good work Nuno, all design now is diferent. Can you help me to do my site similar you?

  20. Gravatar Icon 20 afg8906 Apr 2008

    Thanks you Jay. I was waiting for this a long time. :):)

    Of course you can :p

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 Jay Kwong06 Apr 2008

    Hay , thank you for those comments and bug report,
    I’ve mark them down and I’ll fixed them next week.

    :)

  23. Gravatar Icon 23 MinDokan06 Apr 2008

    For example. I have some “tweak” for the theme, looks my web, now you can view 6 articles and later 6 thumb, like my site is not photo Blog. Another tweak is put the comment link in the home, and another can the visited times…

    Similar, something is wrong with the sear box. I will try to fix too…

    I’m looking the code NOW and is FANTASTIC… Very very flexible.

    (l)喔爺 大部份已經完成 真是感謝你的pb2不但沒遲到還在2.5上表現良好:p
    不過不太了解如何和你的demo site一樣 不在首頁使用thumbnails而是單純的由文字呈現的方法
    雖然是新手但感覺你的pb2比起1更容易上手

    順便根這裡使用2.5 pb2的朋友報馬一下 如果有遇到config的fatal error的 可以打開wp-config.php 把第一行以前以及最後一行以後的空格或空行刪掉在重新upload一次應該就可以解決, 或是錯誤訊息有dashboard的請參閱 http://chaotictech.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/k2-wordpress-25-broken-i-can-fix-that/

    希望大家有更多新的問題的解決方法也可已提出@@~

    Hi…. Glad to see that this theme is out now! :)

  29. Gravatar Icon 29 MinDokan10 Apr 2008

    I see new release… Whats news?

  30. Gravatar Icon 30 Christian Leu10 Apr 2008

    Hi
    I think PlainBox could become my new theme. But you should really try to integrate the Image Extractor Plugin.

  31. Gravatar Icon 31 hissihissi10 Apr 2008

    Thanks for ur answers patienctly:)

  32. Gravatar Icon 32 Cross11 Apr 2008

    dont be shy.
    as the chinese people, we all be somewhat shy to speak out the english.
    but its ok for us to performance without any hesitation, and maybe we can make some conversations at chances.

    Hi Jay,

    very beautiful Theme! Thanks for that!
    Right now i’m trying Plaion Box on a demo-server, hopipng to go live soon.
    But I’m experiencing minor problems with the styling and functionality:

    1. How do i get those rounded corners on the custom field thumbnails? Whenever I upload an image, it will be displayed without rounded corners. I’m using WP 2.5 now, but tried in on 2.3.3 before, getting the same result.
    2. How do I activate the Archives List lightbox? I’m not getting that nice Archive-Overlay on my site. Do I need an additional plugin for it?
    3. Is it possible, that there are no options at all for the noteworthy-plugin? Right now, although I have activated the plugin, I’m not seeing any change on my testblog.

    Perhaps you want to take a look at my demo-page:
    http://work.christian-poehlmann.de/

  34. Gravatar Icon 34 Chris16 Apr 2008

    […] Kwong has released the second version of her Plainbox theme, Plainbox 2.0 Bata. Check out the release page […]

    so much for my problems with getting rounded corners and the lightbox-overlay:

    I already had a lightbox-plugin installed, which caused both problems. Now that it is deactivated, the site looks as it’s supposed to.

    Again: Very beautiful Theme. Thanks for that!!!!

  35. Gravatar Icon 35 Le Sceptique16 Apr 2008

    Hi

    I installed your theme on my blog but there is a problem i can’t repair: using Safari, the images corners are black.

    Why if I use the or on a post, the text doesn’t change?

    (Sorry for my English)

  36. Gravatar Icon 36 Chris16 Apr 2008

    OK, here comes another one:
    It seems as if there are some problems with the comment-links handling.
    Sometimes, when clicking on a comments-link, I get to the comments, sometimes, I don’t get any comment at all. Looks like the link has broken up and doesn’t react on any mouse-click.
    Same with the links from the recent comments-widget. If I click on one, I do not get any reaction from the site.
    First I thought this is because of the recent comments-plugin, but deactivating it doesn’t lead to any difference. But changing the theme solves the problem immediately.

    Do you have any clue, what this might be?
    Thanks a lot!

  37. Gravatar Icon 37 Chris16 Apr 2008

    Edit:
    seems as if my link-problem is browser-specific.
    With Firefox, I am able to navigate to the comments of a single post for exactly 1 time, without emptying the cache. After submitting a comment, I cannot submit any more comments, because the Submit-button shows no reaction. When browsing to the homepage after that and clicking on the comments-link underneath the custom field thumbnail, it doesn’t react any longer. Same for the recent comments plugin, which shows no reaction at all.

    With Opera, I don’t see any problems. But its not my standard browser.

    IE7 doesn’t get it right either, but allows navigation to and submitting comments. But links to comments from the recent comments-plugin

    Sorry for that, but i’d really like to use that theme.
    :)

    Hi Jay,

    Great design, I actually stumbled upon it and realized the aesthetic matched my logo perfectly, as well as my own personal design style. I haven’t figured out all the bells and whistles yet, but it may be that I have the first version?..It says version 4 by various artists, not sure what that means.

    I love the flickr photo feature, but don’t know how to get it to work.

  42. Gravatar Icon 42 Chris18 Apr 2008

    Hi Jay,

    I think I found the reason for my problems with the comments-links:
    Seems, as if that dynamic black navigation-bar (the one that says “home, top, archives, entries feed etc.) is disturbing the direct links to comments.

    I tried refreshing my page (frontpage) a couple of times from the browser. When clicking on the links as long as the black navigation-bar hasn’t loaded, it works. But from the second, the page has loaded completely, the links seem to bee broken. Same with the submit-button, except that the button seems to work a little more often.
    I believe, that the navigation-overlay isn’t read correctly by Firefox and IE. With Opera it all works just fine. But most of my readers (over 75%) are using Firefox :-(

    请问怎么卸载K2?:(我刚开始接触WP,请指教

  44. Gravatar Icon 44 MinDokan19 Apr 2008

    Whats news on this release?:):)

  45. Gravatar Icon 45 Cross19 Apr 2008

    Hi Jay, could you make a change-list to show which files added cut and modified?
    I’ve customized many files, if I just update the new 2.2 edition, my customization will get lost.

    Thank you.

  46. Gravatar Icon 46 Chris20 Apr 2008

    Damnit. So far, I don’t see any chance get this theme work properly.
    In Opera everything works just fine, but in Firefox, that navigation-bar is disturbing some links (comments, recent comments).
    I tried in on 3 different blogs and 2 different computers, with different plugins enabled and without any plugin. Nothing worked.
    I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. No chance.

    No idea, what this might be?

  47. Gravatar Icon 47 jez21 Apr 2008

    the theme looks awesome, really creative, great job - however the code is horrible and breaks almost every browser. If you were to team up with me I am sure we could sort this out in June when I have a university break!

    p.s. I did not receive a mail after you have replied, maybe you should check the subscription plugin.

  50. Gravatar Icon 50 MinDokan21 Apr 2008

    Jay, Plainbox is really beautifull. Jez, your feather is really Impactful!

    Hi Jay. I love the theme. I have’nt test it yet but I was just wondering if I have to download “plugin.zip”, “PSD”, and “read me” to get the theme work? 8-)

  52. Gravatar Icon 52 Danny Foo29 Apr 2008

    Was looking for a simple theme to use for my personal blog temporarily. And made the decision this should be it until I come up with my own later. :)

    p.s: Will let you know if I come across any bugs.

  53. Gravatar Icon 53 Danny Foo29 Apr 2008

    Here’s something new. I think the theme broke my WP dashboard. LOL!

    Anyway, after I uploaded and activated I noticed the theme images weren’t loading. *shrug*

  54. Gravatar Icon 54 Danny Foo29 Apr 2008

    This theme has a Fatal Error.

    It’s found in the /app/includes/widget-removal.php

    To find out more, read the solution Tom recommended:

    http://www.tomrafteryit.net/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-wp_register_sidebar_widget-in/

    p.s: This error disables you from entering into the Admin again when you’re viewing the site.

  55. Gravatar Icon 55 Mike30 Apr 2008

    Testing it on IE6, it’s barely recognizable. Sad that a great-looking theme is a clunker when you open the hood :(

  56. Gravatar Icon 56 Enzei02 May 2008

    I confirm also, breaks my dashboard running v2.5 :'(. I have reverted to using the v1.0 theme for now untill this is fixed. Reagardless though, excellent work!!!! :D

  57. Gravatar Icon 57 Romina04 May 2008

    Great theme! I installed it here: http://doyouloveit.org/news , but I am having trouble with the comments link. When I click on it, it doesn’t take me the the comment form like on the demo site.

  58. Gravatar Icon 58 cherish07 May 2008

    I love your theme and really want this to work out.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled this twice and even with all my plugins turned off, I still get this error when I try to login:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /home/solutis2/public_html/somethingtocherish/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 31

    Also, there is another error at the bottom of each page:
    Fatal error: Call to a member function display() on a non-object in /home/solutis2/public_html/somethingtocherish/wp-content/themes/plainbox/app/classes/sbm.php on line 711

    Any ideas?
