I have a strange thing; not sure if it has to do something with the Timeline theme ...

After some days with Timeline I tried to switch back to 2k11. Didn't work. Firefox showed a blank page instead of the blog, Google Chrome "Error 500". With the themes Timeline and Clean Blog the blogs look fine, after some tests it looks like all other themes don't work.

Very strange.

I inactivated all plugins and activated them one after the other. Looks like the problem has to do with the freetag-plugin. With it 2k11 doesn't work, without everything is fine.

Any ideas what's going wrong? I'm confused :-/

Problem solved: In the Readme file of Timeline is written "... The show tagged entries plugin must be installed ... and the sidebar template option must be set to "archive_freetag.tpl" ...

After removing this everything looks allright. Stupid me.

Yo, tiny bug: because headings are rather large, even on small screens, long words can break the layout. Especially true for the entry titles. You might want to consider adding something like

Code: Select all

.blogstyle-post-body h2 {
    overflow: hidden;
}
(See Mario's new https://abouts9y.org for an example, title of the latest post on 320 width.)

Thanks. Will modify that, and a few other issues, after the weekend.

Are there any objections to marking this as a recommended theme?

Should be recommended by all means.

Don, thanks for the great work. A really fine theme, nice to configure overall and a beauty with responsive included :)

A small thing: The small top left post-info image on the post's detail page has no class assigned. One would be nice so that it can be resized or set to display:none if it is in the way of the article view.

Then, another thing: Not sure it has something to do with the theme itself, yet I encountered the following problems first time with timeline; it worked fine with other themes:
Using index.html as cover page instead index.php?
Post-apocalyptic Jugger sports: What is Jugger? Video I Free ebook on the sport

Which view specifically?

This could be a view type detection in the theme.... do you have the timeline theme installed where I can test it?

---Sure, i can create a test account and send you the details. "Raw" it is here. The landing page in question would be here, though it throws a 404 (probably Rewrite-wise).
Interestingly, the static 404 page assigned does not show up, just the theme standard 404 (separate issue).
I am encountering some Permalink problems (assigned custom permalink through backend) overall.---

Thanks for your dedication, I appreciate that a lot!


EDIT the 403 was solved by the provider, as it seems.
Furthermore:
- I got the DirectoryIndex working with an index.html file instead of the index.php by commenting out

Code: Select all

# RewriteRule ^index\.(html?|php.+) index.php?url=index.html [L,QSA]
# RewriteRule (.*\.html?) index.php?url=/$1 [L,QSA][/quote]
It currently does not *seem* to have bigger impact on the overall behaviour.

- The 404 error document request works now with an assigned Static Page after changing it to

Code: Select all

ErrorDocument 404 /(s9y_dir)/index.php

I looked at the theme's template files. On a detailed page view (ie, the full entry page view), the theme assigns one of two classes as follows: If your entry image is greater than 800 px wide, it assigns the class "image-full-width". Otherwise your image is assigned the class "serendipity_image_left". I can add a second class that will be constant regardless of image width. I will review all of the theme's template files and determine if additional classes would be helpful elsewhere.

The theme was designed to work best with images 1200px wide (or greater). The theme uses responsive sizing so a single entry image will be resized by the theme and a visitor's browser depending on which page the visitor is viewing.
