You can read about it on my blog.

A full explanation of configuring and using Clean Blog can be found on the Clean Blog demo.

This theme will become a core serendipity theme in an upcoming release, but it would be great to get some feedback and/or bug reports before that happens.

Thanks & enjoy!

Hi Don,

thank you for your work. I tried to install the theme in my Testblog an get the following error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "/var/www/s9y20/templates/clean-blog/index.tpl" on line 11 "{if ($view == "entry" || $view == "start" || $view == "feed" || $view = "plugin" || $staticpage_pagetitle != "" || $robots_index == 'index')}" - Unexpected " = " <-- thrown in /var/www/s9y20/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 11

I'm using Serendipity 2.1-alpha1 on PHP 5.4.39.

Regards
Mario

Pretty sure the culprit is

Code: Select all

{if ($view == "entry" || $view == "start" || $view == "feed" || $view = "plugin" || $staticpage_pagetitle != "" || $robots_index == 'index')}

the single = in front of "plugin", I'm just not sure whether it should be == or !=.

That was simple.

I replaced the "=" with "==" and it works.

Thanks.

Good catch I just updated the zipfile.

Hi Don. Thank you very much for this theme. I use it for my blog since last weekend and so far everything looks fine.

Found a typo in the german version of the theme configuration:
"Seiten-Optionen" (Page Options: Show entry body on single entry page view only) --> "Eintags-Inhalt nur in der Einzelansicht eines Eintrags anzeigen" should be "Eintrags-Inhalt", IMHO.

Just one point so far:
When I switch "Page Options - Show entry body on single entry page view only" to "No", than I see in the blog home page the last 10 blogposts (or what else is configured), but no information about comments or a link / icon to the comment form.

Your site looks great! It is nice to see the theme on something other than my demo site!

Nice catch. I will modify the german language files.

This theme does not show a link to comments or trackbacks.

When looking at your search form, I noticed it does not display as intended. Did you modify the stylesheet or are you using a user stylesheet (user_style.css)? The cause of your form not displaying correctly comes from this css:

Code: Select all

#searchform, #sidebar_left, #sidebar_right {
    width: 33%;
}

Perhaps code you used with a different theme?

"Seiten-Optionen" (Page Options: Show entry body on single entry page view only) --> "Eintags-Inhalt

Don, if we want to make it even correcter, rename it to "Seitenoptionen" and "Eintragsinhalt". The - is not needed there.

Thanks. I'm going to defer to my translator - the one and only yellowled!!! Your opinion Matthias?

Yes. But when "Page Options - Show entry body on single entry page view only" is "No" it's IMHO difficult for a reader to find the comment form. He has to click on the entry title to see the comment form. Hmm.

Strange. Looks really like code from the former theme. I have no idea how it is included here. I didn't use a user.css with clean-blog

I have to check this later. Maybe I'll delete the clean-blog theme and install it again.

One thing I don't understand:

Today I wrote an article with a subtitle and an own header image (that's realised with the plugin serendipity_event_entryproperties). I saved it and ... the subtitle and header image disappear.

Maybe a problem with the database? I used the plugin serendipity_event_entryproperties a long time ago.

Strange.

I think I'll set up a fresh test blog with a new database and test clean-blog there.

I don't see any value in providing a link directly to the comment form on an overview page for this theme. Why would anyone jump directly to the comment form without first reading the entry?

I figured this out - in 2.0.1, a new feature was introduced that will automatically include a theme's user stylesheet named user.css if it exists in the theme's folder. Unfortunately, it will automatically load this file from the 2k11 theme folder if the active theme does not have this file. I have brought this to the attention of other developers for discussion in a different thread. The temporary solution would be to rename /templates/2k11/user.css to something else IF you are not using 2k11.

Untested: couldn't you just have an empty user.css in the child theme's directory?

As for the translations, there really is no need to check everything with me. I don't have time to check it out at the moment anyway, and somebody actually using the theme will probably know better than me anyway.

This theme has another dependency, as noted here:

This theme requires Serendipity 2.0, but is also dependent on the event plugin nl2br. The event plugin nl2br is not required with Serendipity 2.0.2 and newer.

I see you are using s9y 2.0.1. Do you have the nl2br plugin installed?

Posted: **Wed Jun 17, 2015 11:17 pm**

I have put an empty user.css (just with comments) into the clean-blog directory and search looks fine.

Also installed the nl2br plugin, problem solved. Sorry for that.

Maybe a question of my english language abilities. When clean-blog is configured the way I have it now (shows full entries instead of 70 signs --> see http://u1amo01.de/blog ), then I think it's difficult for a reader to find out, how he can write a comment. Hope it's understandable now

Best wishes,
Klaus
