Thank you James. Have any themes been changed out for newer ones or are they still the same ones from beforehand?

Nope, same themes (although the folder names have been cleaned up)

Its looking good. I do have one tiny niggle and that’s with the wp_ozh_wsa context names. They’re extremely inconsistent in their naming and their structure. A lot are things like 72890nocolor which is wonderfully generic but then we get things like 160-x-600-mistylook-sidebar and 336×280-mistylook-top. I was trying to do some clever hacking and its a real pain having these different naming conventions. Of course now the pack has gone out its too late to change it but a consistent naming convention and structure would have been a real help :wink:

Yeh, that’s not the greatest part of it :slight_smile: But you can imagine the time this stuff takes to do!

Another issue is that, for testing purposes, you really need to have a code for each theme.

Next major release will aim to clean up all the codes and list them in a separate file.

I thought someone made a list. I seem to recall one.

I think I can make one with ultraedit. I know I can search for the function. I believe I can get it to export out as well. (And if not, I can do it with linux.)

I’ve actually done it using grep and sed and some spare time at work. I’ve got 63 different unique tags. Does that sound about right?

If you’re going for a fixed format I think that the 160×200-solipsus-sidebar structure is the most informative.

while I agree with you on that, wouldn’t that also make it harder as some of those codes are copied between themes?

I downloaded the big 100 and I have a quick question about the Ocean Mist theme which I am using here (http://blogs.bgsu.edu/terence/). I am using the header image rotation feature and I was wondering how to slow down the speed between transitions of the header images. I have been changing settings in the cycle.js script, in the section I pasted below, but nothing seems to work. Even changing the fade to a zoom doesn’t do anything. Any ideas. Thanks for you time. Love WPMU Premium!
```
// override these globally if you like (they are all optional)

$.fn.cycle.defaults = {

fx:         'fade', // one of: fade, shuffle, zoom, slideX, slideY, scrollUp/Down/Left/Right

timeout:     4000,  // milliseconds between slide transitions (0 to disable auto advance)

speed:       1000,  // speed of the transition (any valid fx speed value)
```

Hiya,

speed: 1000, // speed of the transition (any valid fx speed value)

Not that the value is in milliseconds so you’ll need to really bump it up to make a difference. Also, once you’ve made the change be sure to clear your browser cache. Otherwise you’re browser will still execute the old JS for a while.

Thanks,

Andrew

Thanks Andrew. I cleared my cache I bumped it up to 8000 milliseconds and still didn’t get a change. I also changed the fade to zoom and it didn’t zoom which made me wonder if this was the correct place to edit the code? Let me know if you have any other ideas. I’ll keep plugging away.

Thanks again for the quick response.

terence – try adding another zero to the end, or two more zeros.

@steveatty we’ll take a look

I found a few more which blew up on a clean install.

I do believe I may have found the problem though. The functions.php file in the hemmingway theme uses short open tags (<?) rather than <?php and short tags was turned off on my test server! If I turn short open tags on it all works!

Ahhhhh… are the other themes behaving funnily because of that too? Feel free to just make a list of stuff here and we’ll use it as notes.

They are – about 4 or 5 of them. I’ll spend some time looking at it today at work :wink:

Excellent, thanks for that, these’ll all get built in and will link to you with props too :slight_smile:

I’d let you have my modified files but I went through and standardised all the OZA tags (well pretty much all of them) when I was testing things so I’ve got tons of changes all over the place.

Yeh, that could get pretty messy :slight_smile:
