LoseMyMind Now Supports WordPress 2.3 Tags!

WordPress 2.3 has an excellent native tag system, well, LoseMyMind now supports this amazing new feature!

FOR PRESENT USERS:
Please open "index.php", "single.php" and "archive.php" of LoseMyMind in any kind of text editor, then replace the lines:

<p class="entry-tags">Tags: <?php if (function_exists(UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost)) UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("commalist"); ?></p>
<!-- need UTW -->

with this:

<p class="entry-tags"><?php the_tags('<strong>Tags:</strong> ', ',', '<br />'); ?></p>

Then, the final step, save the changes and upload these files to overwrite the olds. Hooray! If you HAVE imported tags generated by any tag plugin (such as UTW) to the native tag system of WordPress 2.3, the tags bar of LoseMyMind now works under WordPress 2.3!

FOR NEW USERS:

Ready! Just download!

LoseMyMind 1.0

SCREENSHOT
LoseMyMind 1.0

On July 5th, I released this simplified WordPress theme. Its name is LoseMyMind which validates Strict XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1, and without any sidebars. One of the differences between it and other common WordPress themes is that there is an Open / Close link to expand or collapse the “bottom” part animatedly where some stuff hide themselves. You can set interval of this action and decide whether it will be shown at the top of the page or real bottom.

Today (July 12th), only one week after the release, I am very glad to announce that LoseMyMind has been downloaded over 1,300 times. Thank you very much!

If you are not satisfied with the single-column LoseMyMind, you have another choice now. I has brought you another edition of LoseMyMind which has a tranditional sidebar and supports WordPress Widgets.

Instructions:
The folder "ajaxcomment" in the zipped archive is NOT a part of this theme BUT a WordPress plugin that could make the comments template ajaxified.

To enable this exciting feature (which is not necessary), just follow the three steps below:

  1. Upload the whole folder "ajaxcomment" to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Copy the "comments.php" in folder "ajaxcomment" and replace the default comments template of LoseMyMind with it.
  3. Activate the Ajax Comments-Reply plugin. Enjoy!

FAQ:

Q: The template does not allow images or videos to be published onto the main page, but only in the post page. Is there any way of allowing images to be shown on the main page?
A: Just hack the code below in the index.php:

<div class="entry">
        <?php if (is_single()) { ?>
                <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
        <?php } else { ?>
                <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
        <?php } ?>
</div> <!-- .entry -->

Change them to:

<div class="entry">
        <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
</div> <!-- .entry -->

Q: How can I integrate my own Google Custom Search Engine instead of yours? Hacking the "cse.php" is no use.
- You may create your own Google Custom Search Engine first here: http://google.com/coop/cse/.
Once it is created, just go to its control panel and you will see all the code you need is on the Code page. Then, replace the code in cse.php. Enjoy!

Q: I would like to change the title "catch the digital flow", what should I do?
A: Just edit the text of image "header.psd" in "/losemymind-10-sb/images/" using Photoshop CS2 then save it as "header.png".

If you have any questions else, please feel free to tell me. Both comments and email are OK. My email is root at this domain.

    I just downloaded “LoseMyMindII” from wordpress.org.
    It’s really beautiful.
    The problem is that if you try to add a comment you get an error message. This must be a bug, because it happens on a fresh wordpress installation (see the theme demo in wordpress.org and test what I’m saying).
    Can you fix it? I would really like being able to do it by myself but…
    Thanks

    @meneceo Thanks for your feedback. It’s indeed a bug which is caused by JavaScript and now I have fixed it in a newer version 2.1.3. Please be patient that wp.org will supply this newer one soon.

    ps. Do not install any other “ajax comments” plugin with LoseMyMind II, otherwise there may be some incompatible issue.

    Yours,

    It’s a plugin that we can download and use too or something made for this site only?

    ps. If you want to fix that bug caused by JavaScript right now (the update by wp.org is still undergoing), open “common.js.php” in folder “js” then go to line 69, modify the original “url:base+’/wp-content/themes/losemymind/comments-ajax.php’,” to “url:base+’/wp-content/themes/losemymind-ii/comments-ajax.php’,”.

    Now I have to translate the theme in italian (my language). I have also to put an image (logo) between the top bar and the main page…
    I’ll link here the site when my work is done. ;)

    不好意思没有找到你的 Guestbook 就在这里留言了:现在问题应该出在 JavaScript 脚本上,如果 JavaScript 正常执行完毕,header 部分的链接会自动显示出来,左上角的”Stand by…”会在整个 DOM 加载完成之后 FadeOut。由于不熟悉你的脚本都有哪些功能,只好辛苦你自己来 debug 了。 ;-)

    Hello, firstly, I love this theme, it’s perfect for me.

    However I do have a tiny problem with it, when someone tries to leave a comment they get the error;

    “Not Found
    The requested URL /wp-content/themes/losemymind/comments-ajax.php was not found on this server.”

    I’ve read the comments from @meneceo and yourself, and I have installed a fresh 2.1.3 version. I also checked the common.js.php file at line 69 for that mod but it doesn’t need changing as it’s already “url:base+’/wp-content/themes/losemymind-ii/comments-ajax.php’,”

    So now I’m out of clues. Do you know what’s wrong?

    Thank you,
    Palentine.

    Hi,

    I am using this theme for one site (love it by the way!) and have found the issues with the comments and resolutions. I want to try and update with the latest version you have posted since there are a few other bugs that I have run across and see if they go away with the new version.

    However, I have modified the theme quite a bit and am just wondering if you have a change log somewhere between what was fixed in the different versions.

    Thanks!

    我对HTML和PHP几乎一窍不通,刚才换上主题发现问题,移除了所有widgets,现在好像好点了。
    然后我在添加widget就可以了吗?

    @Eureka 可能是主题对 Widgets 支持不好,实际上我在制作的时候是没有考虑 Widgets 的,后来由于 wordpress.org 发布要求才加入支持,估计还有问题。

    你的一级分类多不多?多的话放在一起可能效果不太好,如果只有几个还勉强可以。具体的 API 我也记不得了,你可以去 http://codex.wordpress.org/ 找找,Template Tags。

    what a great theme! If have been looking the hole day for such a clean an fine template, thanks for your work!

    Now I would like to customize it a little bit, e.g. changing colours, adding pics, translating, etc.

    I hope it is o.k. to change the theme?
    Of course there will always stay the link in footer.

    Hi,

    I just changed my Lose My Mind 1.0 to II and I like it a lot. However, there is one slight problem: the right sidebar which holds the widgets gets broken when the page in the middle is shorter than the right sidebar. Like this: http://www.kynynasty.com/lmm_prob.jpg. Any idea how to fix that?

    Also, is it possible to change the text for ‘home’-textpage?
    How to add picture to the footer?

    Thanks!

    @Jocas Hi Jocas, I visited your blog and everything went right in both Firefox and Google Chrome.

    About the search box, is there a file named like “searchform.php” under LoseMyMind’s directory? Or you could use Google Custom Search Engine for your blog. It is easier and more powerful than native Search. http://www.google.com/coop/cse/

    Hi,
    I installed LoseMyMind2.1.4 on a new Blog(WP2.84). I love it and it works fine.
    But one problem: If I try to comment on an entry, I get an 404 error page. Zhis happens only, if I set the Blog address (URL) to the document root of the domanin, http://www.jstockburger.com. If I leave the Blog Adress in the folder where WP is installed, everything works fine.
    I have seen the entry above about that problem, but it does not work out for me in version 2.1.4.
    This happens, with IE8, Google Crome or Firefox, it is not about the browser. I had the .htaccess-files automatically set by wp.
    The file not found is probabely the file with the validation functions for the form entries, because the 404-error comes up, even if I try to submit an empty form.
    I modified the theme in some aspects, but this problem remains the same, whether I use the original theme or the modified vesion.
    Thanks
    Johannes
