Hi All

HomeWorld 1.2 is a 'one pager' and is available to all registered Jamroom users. It has been designed for use as the default user theme in your Jamroom system. The 'About' section is at the top, then there are two columns for the Biog, Songs, Stations, Messages, Shop and Gigs sections. I think I've got all significant variables either on the main page, or in the popups. All positions, tables fonts, colours etc. are in the page.css file. All page sections (Songs, Stations etc.) are conditionally generated dependent upon the quota settings. Also, if a user has not uploaded any songs, messages etc., appropriate text is displayed in that section (to hopefully encourage the user to do so). Graphics (jpg) for the top, left side and bottom are in the images folder so that they can be customised for your own site look and feel. A 'ReadMe.txt' file is included that gives more details on the theme, installation guide, credits and contact details.

See the screenshot and download it from www.motagator.net/themes (and notice how this webpage is also a theme in itself (I'm really getting into this )).

Any comments, suggestions, bug reports etc. gratefully received.

Enjoy
Pash

Looks pretty good pash!

Is there an artist on your site using the theme that we can check out? Maybe give him/her a little publicity

Good work!

Cheers!

Yes - try www.motagator.net/tuna
This is using the original theme that I designed as my default theme. The downloadable one has been made more 'generic' by removing the Motagator references in the graphics.
Anyways, thanks for the comment deej.
Cheers
Pa

Cool man! I love that "Cajun Tunastep" I'm not sure if that sounds nasty what lol!

I'm gonna give this some color tweaks, and it looks like my artists will soon have a second theme to choose from

Thanks!

Cheers Pasher,

I'll be trying out your Theme too if you don't mind. Also, I have to agree with dj about the "Cajun Tunastep", does that come with the Theme too?

Only kidding.

Nice one Pash!

Here's a little issue.

My spotlight pages includes the text from the artists bio with a " read more" link(truncate thingy).

When you click on the "read more link from the spotlight page, it should open a new page at the "about" page of the artists theme.

As the (your) themes is a single page theme there is not a "about" page available which lead to a blank page.

Is there a way to have a redirect link within the theme that would direct all outside links to the one page theme.

Just a thought!

[Paul]

Is that link to the artist about page something in a JR script, or something you've done?
Whatever, a way round would be to have another template file in the theme folder called 'about.tpl' that contains the following code -

Code

<html> <head>  <title>Motagator Music About</title>   <script>    location = "{OUTPUT_URL}/index.php"   </script> </head> </html>

then, at the bottom of the theme.cfg file, put the line -

about.tpl | about.php

Haven't tried it, but I think it should work.
Cheers
Pa
PS Thanks for the link to your Quebec guy

I actually had the same problem with my one pager.

What you do is create a new redirect TPL with the following in it:

redirect.tpl

Code

<form name="redirect"> <center> <form><input type="hidden" size="1" name="redirect2"></form></b></font> </center> <script> <!-- var targetURL="{ARTIST_URL}" var countdownfrom=1 var currentsecond=document.redirect.redirect2.value=countdownfrom+1 function countredirect(){ if (currentsecond!=1){ currentsecond-=1 document.redirect.redirect2.value=currentsecond } else{ window.location=targetURL return } setTimeout("countredirect()",1000) } countredirect() //--> </script>

Then setup your theme.cfg to make up for the missing common files:

redirect.tpl | about.php
redirect.tpl | stations.php
redirect.tpl | news.php
redirect.tpl | events.php
redirect.tpl | music.php

Then rebuild your theme and you've got a fix

Cheers!

Thanks DJ for the details on the one pager!

I've tried it now and it does work (I called the file redirect.tpl to save confusion with the other about_*.tpl files).
Deej's method looks more comprehensive though - try that first
Cheers

Just to give you an idea of why I chose to use redirect...

Using:

Quote:

<html> <head> <title>Motagator Music About</title> <script> location = "{OUTPUT_URL}/index.php" </script> </head> </html>

Will screw up your artist page stats. Since they are not really visiting the about page, you don't want the page counter to count a page that isn't really there.

So to completely work around the missing pages, just catch the calls to pages that are no longer there, and redirect the user to pages that are there.

I wish there was a {$THEME_ID} variable. Then we could do testing in the templates before publishing links to the artists area.

For example, a onepager ID of 5:
{ if ('$THEME_ID == '5')}
<a href="index.php">More About Artist</a>
{else}
<a href="about.php">More About Artist</a>
{/if}

Currently theres no way to dig up a theme ID though...but it would help for situations where we're using a one page theme

Cheers!

Hi
Just uploaded a new version of MM_HomeWorld_1.2.zip
In the file info_footer.tpl, the was an absolute link to www.motagator.net on line 19 (Website provided by). I've replaced it with {JAMROOM_URL}.
Don't want all your visitors thinking I'm providing all the sites
Pa
