Socket

Thanks!

Yeah I spent a lot of time on it. Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out – fixed!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. Here’s the WP version: http://themeforest.net/item/socket/102809

The jquery slider that comes with socket is the anythingslider: http://css-tricks.com/anythingslider-jquery-plugin/. (The one in socket does not have the little page nav buttons at the bottom)

Well, it’s tough to answer your question exactly. I can say that the html code in Socket is perfectly spaced, indented, and commented, so it’s very easy to follow and find what you’re looking for. It also comes with documentation that explains how the code is organized. There are no “hidden” parts of the code – it’s all pretty straightforward. Let’s put it this way, if you don’t know how to get it to look a certain way, it’s built intuitively so that you can easily figure out the solution by experimenting with it. Plus, I am available to answer any specific questions you have about it.

Finally, if you want help actually modifying the code I am available at my hourly rate to help with customizations if all else fails.

Let me know if I can clarify anything.

Thanks, Brian

Great, let me know if I can help. You shouldn’t need to know any PHP to customize it to your liking. The files all have PHP extensions so that they can contain PHP scripting if desired by the user, and also so they can easily include headers/sidebars/footers so you only have to make edits to those pages once instead of over and over. But other than that it’s all straightforward HTML .

For the Socket HTML template, the blog templates don’t actually have any functionality – they are just styled HTML pages.

The PSDs exist so that you can extract all of the different layered images and modify them to meet your needs. Are you not able to modify the different objects in the PSD files?

I see 3 PSDs, I’m using Photoshop CS5 , and all the pages look solid green, I see no shading or smart objects.

Interesting. I exported my layered PNGs from Fireworks as PSD files, so there must have been some sort of error. This is the first I’ve heard of anyone having problems with the PSD files. I do not have Photoshop, so I cannot open them up and test them. Have you tried in CS4 ? That is the version of Fireworks that they were exported in.

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I’m going to try to get a-hold of a version of Photoshop so I can test it out. I just assumed (based on some ThemeForest forum posts) that exporting from Fireworks as a PSD would work fine. Still don’t know if it’s due to the actual export or an incongruency in the versions. Maybe other people have experienced this and not told me about it? Seems weird after 180 sales though.

Unfortunately no, there is no flash detection. I can point you in the direction of resources that explain how to do this, or I can do it for you if you want to hire me.

Thanks, Brian

Sorry, just got back from a week vacation. Yes, they’re included – look in the PSD folder inside the images folder. Let me know if you can’t find them.

I found it thanks. By the way, I have to say this is one of the most beautiful templates I have come across. I just had to have it for my website. Thanks so much!

Great – thanks for the kind words!

Please send me an email to brianmcculloh@gmail.com so we can discuss further, thanks.

All of the files end with .php only so they can include files such as the header in every file so there isn’t a bunch of redundant code (i.e. you just change header.php and it is reflected on every page of your site). You can open all the .php files in an editor the exact same way you open .html files, and you’ll see it’s all just regular html inside the files that you can easily update. You just need to make sure whatever server you upload the theme to can serve PHP (any web host can serve PHP code).

Yes, except for any line that starts with <?php

Those lines are just calling the file they indicate. So for the sidebar you can just pull the code directly from includes/sidebar-bottom-3.php and put it in place of the php call to it. Does that make sense?

So the php is like a href calling another function to be showed on that section

Exactly right. When the page is rendered in the browser, the php include line is replaces with the contents of the file it is calling.
