SOFA - One Page Folio

I have a few questions I am setting this site up and I want to put a link into the menu to link it to another site, yet again due to the missing support of a menu the question is how I would do that. Secondly in the heading I want one line to be taller then the other, and not have them both change its height when I edit the css. Please let me know if i can change those things.

If anyone is interested, I’ve successfully reintegrated the blog post functionality into this theme. It’s a solid, awesome design but it’s beyond me why anyone would go through the effort to make a WordPress theme if they’re just going to remove the primary function of WordPress. In keeping with the fluid, one-page design, I added SimpleModal and created a page_type called Blog that queries the posts. If a post is longer than the strlength it adds a “Read More” link that will open the full post in a SimpleModal popup when clicked. It looks nice and doesn’t break the original theme design.

This is the code I added to index.php:

} else if( $page_type == 'blog' ) {

                // manage container
                echo '<div class="short-articles" id="page_' . $page->ID . '">';
                // get title

                echo '<h1 class="sectionheading"><span>' . $page->post_title . '</span></h1>';
                // any content?
                if( $page->post_content ) {
                    $service_content = $page->post_content;
                    $service_content = preg_replace( '|(<a.>.*?<img.><.*?a>)|i', '$1 rel="service_' . $page->ID . '" $2', $service_content );
                    // save rel for colorbox
                    array_push( $rel_items, 'a[rel="service_' . $page->ID . '"]' );
                    // throw out the content
                    echo wpautop( $service_content );
                }
                // add to navig
                if( $cnt_li_items == 0 ) $item_string = '<li><a href="#wrap" class="anchorLink" title="' .$page->post_title  . '">' . $page->post_title . '</a></li>';
                else $item_string = '<li><a href="#page_' . $page->ID . '" class="anchorLink" title="' .$page->post_title  . '">' . $page->post_title . '</a></li>';
                array_push( $navig_items, $item_string );

                // check for blog posts
                $args = array( 'numberposts' => 4, 'category' => '1,3', 'orderby' => 'post_date' );
                $blogposts = get_posts( $args );
                if( count( $blogposts ) > 0 ) {
                    $cnt_even = 1;

                    foreach( $blogposts as $blogpost ) {

                        $thetitle = $blogpost->post_title;
                        $getlength = strlen($thetitle);
                        $thelength = 22;
                        if ($getlength > $thelength) $posttitle = '<div class="widget"><h2>' . substr($thetitle, 0, $thelength) . '...</h2>';
                        else $posttitle = '<div class="widget"><h2>' . substr($thetitle, 0, $thelength) . '</h2>';
                        echo $posttitle;

                        $blog_content = $blogpost->post_content;
                        $getpostlength = strlen($blog_content);
                        $postlength = 180;
                        if ($getpostlength > $postlength) $postcontent = substr($blog_content, 0, $postlength) . '...   <a href="javascript:;" rel="' . $blogpost->ID . '" class="readmore postpopup">[Read More]</a><p> </p>';
                        else $postcontent = substr($blog_content, 0, $postlength);

                        $blog_date = mysql2date('F j, Y', $blogpost->post_date);
                        $category = get_the_category($blogpost->ID);
                        $blog_cat = $category[0]->cat_name;
                        $permalink = get_permalink($blogpost->ID);

                        // save rel for colorbox
                        array_push( $rel_items, 'a[rel="blog_' . $blogpost->ID . '"]' );
                        // throw out the content
                        echo '<div class="postmeta">Posted under ' .$category[0]->cat_name.' on ' . $blog_date . '</div>';
                        echo  $postcontent;

                        echo '</div>';
                        // add separator to make boxes tidy
                        if( $cnt_even%2 == 0 ) echo '<div style="width: 99%; height: 1px; line-height: 0; clear: both; display: block; padding: 0; margin: 0;" />';
                        $cnt_even ++;
                        // end subpage
                    }
                }
                echo '</div>';
                // end manage container    
</img.></a.></div>

I just bought this theme and wonder if someone can let me know if it’s still necessary to add the code above to the index.php page? If so where exactly do I add it? At the end or do I replace what’s already there?

tia

Yawnnn… I’ve made the change and created a few posts but they don’t appear. Am I missing something?

I’ve read the manual and I’m aware of the page types. I’m mainly referring to the comment made by willsloan above on his mod to reintegrate the posts feature which I thought you were commenting to in my initial post.

thnks

No worries. I’ll make due or take the loss. Either way good work.

Thanks

cant seem to figure out how to get portfolio subpages to show up. used the custom post type of page_type and portfolio yet not showing…. help?

Hi, Im trying to see a demo of your template, but it’s not working.

Can I integrate Contact Form 7 for custom contact form fields and also embed videos throughout?

Thanks!

Hi there just bought the theme, however I can’t find how to change images, and background colors. is there any way to edit the theme design without knowing working with html?

Hi, I bought this theme recently because there was a contact form on the demo but don’t see it on my template when loaded. Is there anyway to activate the contact form as shown in the demo? Thanks

jQuery easing doesn’t appear to be working with wp 3.4

HI, i’m trying to desactivate the lightbox when I put a picture. I want to put a ads on my page but everytime I click on it, a lightbox open with a error message.

Thanks in advance

I can’t find how and where to activate the contact form. There doesn’t seemt o be an option for ‘page type’ anywhere that I can see. Can you advise me please?

I am unable to get any short codes to work with this theme. What am I missing?

I have tried:

expand title=”read full bio” (twitter feed plugin)

I assume Slickr-Flickr is out as well. Any ideas?

This looks to be the closest theme to what I am looking for, sans the blog.

Before I purchase, I just want to verify—

Couldn’t I simply create a LINK on the menu to a blog that is created in another Wordpress theme?

hello I cannot get the sofa one template to accept items that are in square brackets, if I try to use a plugin like a simple table creator I can set it up with table tags like this: [table,......] but this just outputs in the html.

is the template not usable with plugins?

Hello,

Can you tell me how each “page” is structured? I’d probably want to include some PHP in a couple of them. Does each page have it’s dedicated .php custom file, or is a page done via a widget?

If this is something that is able to be done, I’ll buy this.

Cheers!

How to change the order of the page’s side navigation?

Hello,

Just purchased your theme to use on a new website that will be going up at the end of the month, and I’ve run into one very glaring problem: Your theme doesn’t seem to support the [gallery] shortcode.

I’ve added the [gallery] shortcode to a few pages, uploaded images, tried a few different settings, even installed a plugin that hooks into the [gallery] shortcode to modify it a bit, and still the gallery does not appear. Instead of the page showing the visual gallery, the page shows [gallery ids=”13,17,21,56”] and the like.

I have tested other themes, and they all display the gallery perfectly. Please assist.
