Using the T1 Theme in a unique way. There isn’t even a blog on this site yet!

This shows the ability to absolutely customize this theme to your liking—thanks to Sandbox!

Thanks to João Craveiro for pointing out a possible problem with the daily archive links structure.

I haven’t heard of anyone having problems with it, but let me know what you think. I may need to modify the link (along with everything else I need to do) for the next version of T1.

The Problem

The per day dates link separating your posts seems to be a bit fragile depending on what type of permalink structure you have.

Here’s what T1 has now:

<div class=”posted-date”><h2><a title=”Permanent link to <?php the_time(’F j,Y’); ?>” href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>/<?php the_time(’Y/m/d’); ?>”><?php the_date(”,”,”); ?></a></h2></div>

The Solution

João Craveiro came up with this alternate way of calling the daily permalink:

<div class=”posted-date”><h2><a title=”Permanent link to <?php the_time(’F j, Y’); ?>” href=”<?php echo get_day_link(get_the_time(’Y'),get_the_time(’m'),get_the_time(’d')); ?>”><?php the_date(”,”,”); ?></a></h2></div>

This seems to work great on his site, and it makes sense in the way it’s calling the permalink.

Let me know what you think about the change or if you see any problems with it. I’ll probably be incorporating this into a new T1 version to keep all your tumblelogs running efficiently.

Over 600 downloads of the T1 theme in barely more than two months since it was release!

I’ll package these as an update soon, but if you want to make these changes on your own (because you’ve modified the theme to fit your needs) here they are.

First of all, there is a problem with images larger than 500px breaking the display in Internet Explorer 6 and earlier. The culprit is of course IE, but more specifically the fact that IE6 and earlier doesn’t recognize the max-width property (which is what I used in the style sheet). Larger images will expand your “Wrapper” forcing the content outside of the background image.

The solution I’ve found to work is using this line of code:

img { width: expression(this.width > 500 ? 500: true); } /* fix for ie6 not recognizing max-width */

I’ve heard that other browsers will skip this, and therefore only the IE6 and earlier will obey this code. If that’s the case, you can just plug this code into your custom style sheet, or link to an extra style sheet just for IE6 (which is what I personally like to do – just in case).

Another solution would be to size your images down below 500px before using them on the site.

Pick the solution you like the best, and when I get a few free minutes, I’ll package this into an update for future T1 users.

Enjoy.

I love the way smartArchives displays the archives of your blog. I’ve set it up on my site at the bottom of the page – just before the sidebars.

Following the instructions on the plugin page makes it pretty easy to set up, but here is what I did in case you’re curious.

First, I put the necessary code where I wanted the archives to show up. In my case, I changed the Main Index Template (index.php file) of the T1 theme. I browsed down just below the closing div of the <div id="nav-below"> section. After that entire section and just before the </div><!-- #content -->, I put the following:

<div class="smartArchives" >
<?php if (function_exists('smartArchives')) {
echo ('<span class="smartArchives_title">Archives</span><br />');
smartArchives('block','');
} ?>
</div>

This will keep the code from breaking the site in case the plugin is not installed or activated.

Now I had to style it for my site. For this, I just added the following to my custom.css file of the T1 theme.

.smartArchives { margin: 10px 25px; clear: both; }
.smartArchives span.smartArchives_title { font-weight: bold; }
.smartArchives a:hover { background: #26466d; color: #fff; }
.smartArchives .emptymonth { display: none; }

Of course you can place the archives wherever you want and style it to fit your needs.

Although the “block” display is not very helpful for the visitors, I like how it looks. I’ll probably implement the “list” style on the actual archives page. This will display the title of the posts and be a lot more helpful for the visitors.
