Have to agree with Orman and Mike on this one, however I appreciate the response Collis and look forward to seeing how you guys improve the Elite program, however I really think as everyone has said the support (Searchable/Forum like) and ratings (Amazon Style) systems NEED HELP badly — I feel like we’re beating a dead horse.

Congrats guys!

Here ya go:

Really the way to get this to work is getting Envato behind it, setting a standard and making it apart of the review process.

Calling all staffers…

So I think it’s a good idea; but on the other hand, it doesn’t do much good for meta fields, since those would be more problematic (impossible?) to standardize.

Agreed, this is just one piece to the puzzle, custom taxonomies and metaboxes are a whole nother story. Although you could propose a small standardized set for different uses, like for products (price, size, shipping, etc…).

This article from Konstantin about the “Lock in Effect” in WordPress themes got me thinking a lil’ bit.

Theres many things he outlines but one we can solve simply is CPT naming, most themes feature at least one CPT most commonly a portfolio. Now its up to the author to name this CPT which can be anything from “portfolio” (like myself) to a prefixed name like “ct_portfolio”, etc…

This can be troublesome for buyers as they purchase one theme, add their content, then maybe down the road purchase another but this new theme uses a prefixed name for the portfolio so that user now has to either re-input all their content or do a SQL UPDATE command.

So I’m proposing something simple at least for the authors on TF, lets standardize our CPT naming.

Proposed examples:

• portfolio
• testimonials
• products
• slider
• etc…

Thoughts?

Congrats man!

Congrats!
