hi guys,

to show up the thumbnails, what custom field does it use?
my precious theme uses thumbnails too, under the “Thumbnail” fields…
the question is, how do I edit theme to match the custom fields with ones I’ve made before?

ps: sorry for my bad english….I’m still learning :)

Ignore the gravatar question, i’ve found out where to change it

Sorry, now i know how to make the thumnails, Great theme…Im going to use it for my blog, Thanks

I love this theme. I played with it for beyond karma, but the content calls for zen-like simplicity. I did however use some of the ideas from this theme!

Great theme, i use it in my photography blog

Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m totally lost. I figured I would be downloading code that I could apply in Word Press. However, although I have downloaded and unzipped all the files, I’m not seeing anything I recognize, or any instructions.

I have looked around your website for guidance, but I don’t see any. Am I missing something majorly important, like certain programs that will open these files?

i need help with this! i want to use it for our radio blog, and i chose this style because the demo was perfect. if i click a link on the demo (about or another page, search) the sidebar isn’t reloading, what means a radioplayer would continue to play. on my site it won’t work as the demo and will reload with every other page i click :(

sorry for my bad english
any help is appreciated!

Thats my version of this smashing theme.

If you are having problems with some of the features try deactivating plugins fixed most things for me.

Thanks… anyway… and Great Job.

I have to say that this is the best Wordpress theme yet. Well to me at least. The one problem I kept on having was the thumbnail image issue that a lot of people seem to be having. I think that the majority of the people that continue to have this issue might be doing what I kept on doing. I now feel dumb for doing it, but being new to Wordpress, I didn’t know better. Here is the wrong way I added the image. I would add the image to the body of the blog. As that turns out, that is not what you do. What you need to do instead is upload the photo to your site, using wordpress. Then get the URL for and then put that URL in the Magzeen Post Options. That took me hours to figure out. Sometimes we just try to make things more difficult than they have to be.

hello !

i did rtl to this theme and i get this problem (cheket with firebeg):

createVmlStyleSheet()()pngfix.js (line 45)
pngfix.js()()pngfix.js (line 303)
[Break on this error] styleSheet.addRule(this.ns + ‘\:shape’, ‘{behavior:url(#default#VML)}’);
pngfix.js (line 45)
$(”.category”) is null

[Break on this error] $( ‘.category’ ).click( function() {
functions.js (line 2)

whats rong ?

thank u

I noticed that there were several people who had issues with the dock thumbnail rollovers not working properly. I had the exact same issue but only after I installed the WP-Slimbox2 plugin for viewing images within a post.

I think it had something to do with both plugins using jquery and defining their own versions of the same js function. Check your rendered blog page source to see what other js code is referenced just prior to the code used for the Magazeen template. Either way, I was able to get the dock rollovers working again with a slight mod to the header.php file.

Basically, I just put the Magazeen js references *after* the wp_head and it fixed the problem for me. I tried to paste the before and after code snippets in this comment, but that didn’t seem to work, so if you’re interested in the fix, just email me at dale[at]blitzedmag[dot]com and I’ll give it to you via email.

I’ve tested the functionality of the WP-Slimbox2 and it still works fine after my slight mod. If you’re using other plugins or js code that are competing with the Magazeen js code, then your results may vary.

Good luck. And thanks again to Smashing and Function for the great theme!

Cheers,
Dale

it’s one of the most perfect templates I’ve seen! thanks a lot for sharing!

Hi there,

How do you add pages? The navigation through the blog is a big difficult without pages i.e 1,2,3,4 etc

Thanks! Great work!

Hi,

I had the same pagination problem as others who mentioned it here. I found a solution to the problem and the modified index.php file can be downloaded at my site through this blog post.

Magazine Pagination Fix

Thanks for the great theme.

very nice theme, although it has dozens of XHTML and css bugs plus
the sidebar is kinda above the footer in the IE. does anybody have the same problem and got a workaround?

let me know

Thanks so much for the theme.

Also, I’m having a problem with a bunch of the default widgets not showing up. I can’t activate the following widgets: Archives, Links, Recent Posts (which I don’t care about because of Magazeen’s custom widget), and Recent Comments (which I certainly care about). These things are super important, and I hate to have to install some crazy other non-wp standard plugin to manage our simple blogroll. Any thoughts?

hey,

any chance anyone has figured out a way to have a “default” thumbnail image so as to avoid having to place an image url in the special field with every post? thanks.

can u please do an rtl css file … and there is a lot of problem on exsplorer 7 … can u fix theme please … thank u for an amazing theme…

This is a really nice theme. Thank you very much!

i love the theme! Is there a setting you need to change to get the thumbnail pictures to show up in the sidebar? Mine just has text…

Yikes! It says that the theme’s broken, although I’m not sure if it’s a problem with my server:

Warning: file(/home/starlakarr/theluckinitiative.com/wp-content/themes/magazeen-wordpress-theme/style.css) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/domain.com/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

I need help getting the thumbnails to appear –

I read the posts above, but need help understanding what to do to solve this in plain english – not programmer speak! Please! Thank you!

wow Great theme, i cant believe this is free, you guys ROCK!

about the custom field, here is a hack to have it default to an image. although i still haven’t been able to implement it. anyone who has better luck i hope you can repost!

http://epicalex.com/default-custom-fields/

see “bonus”: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/05/13/10-custom-fields-hacks-for-wordpress/

i can´t find “featured Posts”? the site is getting bigger and bigger, do i need to get a widget for it?

Thanks for ideas

i am getting errors in iexplorer 6

you really believe that by writing “do not spam” above the comment text box Nobody will spam you? lol, you looks very smart guys lol stupid

spam spam spam

Can someone please assist with a workaround on getting pagination – previous page, next page, older posts, newer posts – working? This is quite frustrating..

Why hasn’t such a feature been implemented into such an incredible theme? This is something nearly every blog writer would want, of course.

Other than that, awesome theme. Thanks for releasing it free of charge.

Nice theme.

Which font is used for “magazeen”?

i am having same problem with errrors (same message as @errors above) when i try to install. thanks.

For me work correctly!! I have only a problem with Firefox 3.5 visualization in the post Hedaer miniature image.

I have the same issue with the thumbnails, doesn’t appear. I had solved deleting all the files in /cache folder and when reload again the page all was automatically in order, even the files in /cache folder.

Did the same thing today but there’s nothing, I think that is de Wordpress version or I dont know, anyone??

Freaking awesome, its free and so professional, i will add it to my blog.

ok, i still cannot fix the images, where it says “check out latest articles” it’s just white boxes with red crosses in them. How can I make them display an actual image?

What are the steps to do so?????

Great theme, but I wonder if there will be a fix for IE7 bugs in the near future.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for a great theme.
Have one question though, i would like to be able to link directly from the “front page” to a external website by clicking on the image (such as http://www.notcot.org does) does. But when it makes a thumbnail it automatically create a link to the blog post on my own website (as most people of course would like it)
I have looked in the coding of the app but can´t find a good solution to this, does anybody have an idea on how to solve it?
Thanks in advance /Johan

can someone email (bong8558@gmail.com) me or post comment here how exactly to make thumbnail at sidebar and below header working please? Really appreciate your kind..thnx..i follow the instruction in older comment still cannot figure out

I’ve also installed this amasing theme, but it wont seem to work.

I get this error messeage:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function post_class() in /var/www/mayroi.dk/blog/wp-content/themes/magazeen/index.php on line 21

Does anyone know what I’m to do?

Thanks!

Yes its possible..

To make an image in post its original size you need to open up the file ’single.php’ and find the following code:

“image_value”, true ); ?>&w=225&h=246&zc=1″

replace that with:

“image_value”, true ); ?>&w= imagesx($image);&h= imagesy($image);&zc=1″

I was all happy with myself for sussing that until I realised that there is still no fix for comment dates error which makes this theme almost useless. All comments added to a post show the wrong date (the date that the post was created)! Check out the themes demo and you’ll see this.

Without a fix for that basic function, who would seriously want to use this theme??

Wow! This wordpress theme is sooooo awesome!!! I’m a new blogger, figuring out how to use wordpress and such. I just add your theme on: http://www.halfemptywallet.com.

What are the best steps you could recommend for someone that wants to play around and change the colors on this theme? Thank you again!!

@dianawei

Guys,

I have installed the theme and have almost got it to work perfectly while it’s FILLED with plugins! It took me a few days but now everything seems to be working except from 1 thing!

The comments!!! Everytime I try to post a comment, I get to a blank page ++++ 2 comments that have been submitted and approved are not showing! Do you have ANY ideas as to how I can fix that? It’s such a small thing, but as you very well know, commenting on a blog post is a VERY important function so it has to be fixed or I won’t be able to use this theme! Please help.

Thanks in advance!

Any chance of having this as a website non-Wordpress template?

Hello guys,

I am new to wordpress..My thumbnails are not showing in the top of the page.
I follwed older post but still it showing error….

please fix it..it would be great for me..

Actually the most amazing thing is that the developers never stopped for a second to read the comments, particularly the date comment bug. I’m no developer, but I’ll do my best to try to fix it :P

Sorta sad because it’s a great, great theme! :D Congrats

Can you tell me if this theme is ok for Wordpress 2.8.4?
Thanks a lot
http://www.clementlepetit.com

@luxladee: Regarding thumbnails on top: I had to delete the cache folder, manually create a new one and then set appropriate permissions (777). When created by the plugin/script, the cache folder won’t work on all servers, even with permissions set to 777. Some server security issue, mayhaps…?

To get the dynamic titles to work, move the javascripts in header.php below the wp_head entry. I know this has been stated before, but thought I’d mention it again. Not sure if it has any side effects, though…

@misterclem: I’m using this with WP 2.8.4, all working nicely.

@dlv: Thanks for the comment fix! :)

How about porting this theme to Thematic, will that be a difficult task?

@luxladee: if @eiv answer doesn’t work, try doing what i’ve explained in comment number #339

“when i use it on h3 title”, sorry :-)

I see alot of questions about the title of the post doesnt show up when rolling over the thumbnails at the top of the page (or the dock or the jquery section). i have the latest WP, and deactivated all other jquery plugins with no resolution. someone please help. this is a very important part of the theme I believe. please advise.

@div – your fix works for old comments but now the the theme won’t publish any new ones. =(

I am getting this error -

Warning: file(/home/kangenva/public_html/forumasian/wp-content/themes/magazeen-wordpress-theme/style.css) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/kangenva/public_html/forumasian/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/kangenva/public_html/forumasian/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

Looks like somebody else is having the same issue? Any fixes to the latest download zip file?

hi,

thumbnail problem.

lates articles..

dlv
thanks for your reply regarding the comment date problem. all fixed now, thanks!

@julie:follow me on twitter ( @dlv_ )to view your website and try to understand which is the problem…
Just for start, try to remember which changes you have made in theme.. perhaps something you touched is the beggining of the problem

anyone willing to help me now with the tag cloud? the tags hang over the widget dimensions. thanks.

Sorry, call me stupid (or newbie) but how do I change the copyright notice to the current year at the bottom of the page?

Thanks.

@ Dan, I had to do this ’cause by default it says “2008.” Its in the footer.php under

TO FIX DOCK TITTLE’s:

This is my dock-javascript code that you can see working on my website (not finished 100% yet.. the link is on comment #355), this is inside “functions.js” file.
This isn’t my entire javascriptn file of course, just the dock:


$( function() {
$( '.category' ).click( function() {
$( this ).toggleClass( 'active' )
$( this ).siblings( '.dropdown' ).toggle();
$( this ).find( '.indicator' ).toggleClass( 'indicator-active' );
return false;
} );
$( '#dock > li' ).stop().css('opacity', 0.5);
$( '#dock > li' ).hover( function() {
$( '.latest' ).stop().fadeOut( 'fast' );
$( this ).stop().children( 'span' ).fadeIn( 200 );
$( this ).stop().css('opacity', 1);
}).bind( "mouseleave", function() {
$( this ).stop().css('opacity', 0.5);
$( this ).stop().children( 'span' ).fadeOut( 200 );
} );
$( '#dock' ).bind( "mouseleave", function() {
$( '.latest' ).stop().fadeIn( 500 );
} );
});


I’ve change the position of the tittles (under the post-images), I did it with CSS.
I hope you fix it. Also, it’s rare, the first time I installed, all animations (included titles) work nice.

@julie To see me on twitter, my user is “dlv_” .. you have to got a twitter account of course :)…then, you can follow me typing twitter.com/dlv_

@RandomJan: nice to hear that..

if someone read this… julie’s contacted me and i saw this problem: she has a conflict between Instant Slide Up javascript and jQuery…

We have the same problem – the images are not shown and the tags hang over the widget dimensions. Can anyone help us?
Thanks

Hi thanks for this amazing wp theme!

I downloaded the .psd sources thinking slices would be shown so that I can change colors easily and save the image files perfectly but it’s not the case.
Could someone tell me how to save new theme image files from the psd source? which image file goes with which layer for instance? that would be neat! thanks!

Great theme, but How can I remove the search form in the header and insert 728*90 adsense unit instead.??

Great theme only the pics don’t show up in the sidebar. I’m not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help?

@Sophie: yes, there isn’t slices in .psd source file. Make your own images or edit the .psd and try to create slices that match with the original sliced images.
If you look at my theme modification, i make my own images, i’ve just open the .psd just one time for fun, i’ve never edited it.

@Kyle: what I’ve done in my website (in dock area, right side…the “fading” icon) is something like you want ? My website is http://www.demianvillanueva.com/blog/

@PalSoftwares: to remove the search from, open HEADER.php and remove the line 42:

@Rina: like Mauro said, try doing what i’ve explained in comment number #339

whoops, that code should be:

<blockquote cite="<img src="/timthumb.php?src=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=69&h=54&zc=1″ alt=”" />”>

I’ve been using Magazeen successfully for several months but I’m suddenly getting the same error message as boylogik above (Feb 29)

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in ……./wp-content/themes/magazeen/functions.php on line 107

I’ve disabled all plugins and still get the error so it’s not a plugin conflict. Anyone have any ideas? I’m using WP 2.8.4, but I’ve been using it for awhile and the problem only emerged today, so i doubt that’s the issue either.

Hmmm….still a little flaky – all seemingly related to the Featured Posts widget. No clear solution – I finally just disabled it :-(

thanks Harvey and 2ny for share your experiences

Can anyone help with this little tweak?

I need a little help modding the Comments Tab, please.

Here’s an image indicating what I mean:
http://tinyurl.com/ycwg4kr

Could someone point me in the right direction for the CSS on this?

My email is kiki77 (at) comcast (dot) net — but I’ll be checking back on this page, also for any posted answers.

I’m just not sure if it would it be a style.php + comments.php combo mod, or style.php only. I have this theme perfectly tweaked, other than this and I just don’t want to mess anything up.

I’m familiar with CSS mods, but if you have the answer, the more specific the better and VERY appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Love the theme – wondering if there is a way to change the “Featured News” widget to something like “Featured Articles.”

Hi,

I am trying to find the title for “Featured News” and “Recent News” as I am going to translate the themse into Swedish.

Any idea as to where I can find that?

Everybody talks about chmod, and thats good :-)

But I cant figure it out. Im inside , I can see the cache folder, I rightclick it.. but then it only shows : ” Open the links in this window ” etc.

Furthermore there are no files in my cache.

Can someone spell it out for all us , that doesnt know how to CHMOD 777 ?

I have spent hours on it now :-)

Thank you for your time

The site is is here. I ONLY need the damn pictures : http:www.aktiv3.org

I did it ! :)

Its working now. Thank you for the help

Hi!
What a fantastic theme! Do you have tutorial a readme file? Thanks so much,,,

Magazeen is an awesome theme !
Had some issues with the category drop down but I finally figured out how to fix it.
Here is what I did with the theme (lot of customization) : http://www.workstationsetups.com/
