Created new theme in Easyblog

13 October 2010


First of all, I duplicated the whole deafualt theme in the component's themes directory. Named it Reddie, and changed the teme's name in the file config.ini.

And yes, the theme showed up in the backend, so I could select it. From there on, I started to change things back to the way I wanted them, using as much of the existing layout as possible. Looks much better now. Made changes in

  • blog.latest.php
  • blog.category.php
  • blog.tags.php
  • blog.read.php
  • css / style.css
  • and added or overwrote some images in the image directory

What I like about this newer version of Easyblog is that it shows the elements in the editor in the backend. You can immediately see if your text is in a paragraph, or header. Quite nice.

Still missing: a way to hide the intro-text on the details page, like you can do in Joomla. And why can I not change the submit button of the add comment panel? That blue thing is set in the dashboard theme and that's not within the default theme, so kinda hard to reach.

Also wondering if there is a way to sort your tags alphabatically in the backend, now I kinda have to remember which tag is where in the list of availbale tags.

Now if only my tweet integration will work, I followed the documentation to set it up, but will know after publishing this post Wink

edit: nope. Didn't show up. Only after I enabled the tweet meme integration in the settings, and pressed the tweet button in the front-end. That cannot be the way it is supposed to work, is it? Or is this thing developed for front-end bloggers only? I'd like an automatic tweet after publishing a blog-item in the backend... Frown
