Re: Who wants to take over txp-templates.com?

So…did anyone actually agree to…

  1. take over the txp-templates.com site?
  2. merge other Txp theme listings into txp-templates.com?
  3. tag themes as “hgc-template compliant or not” in the listing at txp-templates.com?

Just curious

That would be me.

merge other Txp theme listings into txp-templates.com?

That depends on the template authors, I think. With all due respect for template authors, I cannot drag somebody in.

tag themes as “hgc-template compliant or not” in the listing at txp-templates.com?

Given my (limited but existant) positive experience with mcw_templates and the knowledge that hgc_templates expands on it, I’d rather specify the compliance with these methods as a prerequisite for a listing. This is still a preliminary opion, but I’ll aim there.

Even better! I hope to actually learn the difference between a “compliant” theme and a “non-compliant” theme with an eye toward helping others bring their templates into the fold.

Thanks for your work!

Re: Who wants to take over txp-templates.com?

Where can one get more information on hgc_templates hcg_templates? Google and Textpattern.org were no help.

I found it here

Are images used in the template handled by hcg_templates? (couldn’t find a support thread for this plugin)

I can’t remember if there is a support thread here but if you go back to where you downloaded it you will find that Bert has his own forum and there should be a link available.

Re: Who wants to take over txp-templates.com?

I’ve posted there. I’m a bit worried because there hasn’t been any activity there in awhile.

There’s activity, the plugin keeps getting downloaded and the script kiddies keep trying to hack in ;)

Sorry I took a break from adding templates, but I decided to wait until we had a consensus. No need in having everybody doing templates using different methods, it’s just confusing to the users.

I await Wet’s ideas.

Had any time to think this out?
