TXP Reflection theme trouble.

Knowguy · 2011-05-10 15:28:58

I am fairly new to textpattern, I am coming from a Wordpress install of my personal site (JesseRoland.com) and I figured out how to install and customize a front site theme, but I am having problems. If anyone has used a theme like TXP Reflection can someone help me figure out why I cannot see my About and Contact pages? Also my RSS and ATOM feed links are not working.

Here is the theme: http://textgarden.org/layouts/65/txp-reflection
My Website: jesseroland.com

Textpattern is not quick to change, but it has changed in a few ways over the last 5 years.

You need to reset your RSS link to http://jesseroland.com/index.php?rss=1

and your ATOM link to http://jesseroland.com/index.php?atom=1

Your About and Contact pages are working – but I am betting that you have them to the same Page Template as default. Looking at the template itself, it really only includes two templates: default and archive. My suggestion would be to copy either of them to new templates (about and contact) and then set your sections to those templates. Then just edit them to display the content you wish.

The instillation process for themed pages is much more technically involved than any other CMS interface I’ve seen — yet hoping it will be worth it.

I am attempting to install the TXP Reflection theme & cant get past step 1… “You must ensure that the “images” directory of your website has been chmod 777 or you will not be able to upload images to it.

First you could do with creating a category for your images. Go to the “Organise” tab and in the “Images” column put a category name into the text box and save it. I normally create a “Website” category for images I use in my site layout. Call it what you like.”

What I cant figure out is that its calling to navigate to “tabs”… organize “column” images —- Where are these? Tabs and columns of what?

Please help…

I think Organize is a quite ancient term for Categories. Once you’re on that page/tab of your TXP admin (you’ll have to log in for moving there) you’ll discover the images “column” quite easy.

Welcome to the TXP forum!

‘Tabs’ are nothing more than menu items. You are probably not using the ‘Classic’ admin theme, where these items appear as tabs ;) So you need to go to Content > Organise (or is it Categories?).

If you have any more questions about the Reflection theme, you can better post in the Packaged Designs forum, you are more likely to get relevant replies over there.

Edit: …and Uli was faster again ;)

Tag error: <txp:article_custom form=“recently” limit=“10” section=“article” sortby=“Posted” sortdir=“desc” listform=“recently” /> -> Textpattern Notice: sortby attribute is deprecated on line 717
Tag error: <txp:article_custom form=“recently” limit=“10” section=“article” sortby=“Posted” sortdir=“desc” listform=“recently” /> -> Textpattern Notice: sortdir attribute is deprecated on line 725

sortby and sortdir were amalgamated into a single sort attribute a few versions ago and the theme hasn’t kept abreast of the changes. Try sort="Posted desc" instead.

You can check up on the latest attributes in the tag reference.

Thank you for the fix, I’d like to try it although where can I find the lines to edit? I’ve looked in styles and forms. THXS

Also, I’ve been searching everywhere as to change the text on the left column of the main page: “Here’s a spot you could stick some side content relevant to the page you’re on.” to other text — I can’t find the location of this preset text anywhere. Any help is much appreciated.

It might be in the Presentation->Pages template corresponding to the section in which the warning occurs.

At the risk of pushing my own plugin, you could try installing smd_where_used which pops up under the Extensions tab and allows you to search for references to things in your site. You could then search for article_custom and it’ll show you in which Page/Form those tags are used. Click the items in the resulting list to edit them.

Hope that helps.

“Visit the Extensions tab and Click ‘Where used’”

Don’t see any “Extensions tab” anywhere, is that the name used in the “classic” admin theme? thxs
