WP Theme: Vikiworks V5 theme

First of all, a big thankyou to everyone who took part in supporting me to release another Wordpress theme, special thanks to ququhu who brought us a revised design and it work with IE8 (details in Chinese here).

V5 theme was actually based on my previous theme, if you’re following my resurrection theme you’ll know that making a theme wasn’t easy for me, after spent sometime and a few rounds fighting with codes, removed any improper stuff now here it comes. Take a look at this snapshot below:

    @ling 出现问号应该是数据库的问题,我本地测试时就出现这样的情况,你可以换一个twitter工具,官方的,如下:
    [script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js”>[/script]
    [script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/yichi.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1″>[/script]

    XXX换成你的id即可,[]换成

    Hiya!

    Great design!!! Thanks for releasing it. Good job!.

    I’ve have a small problem. Im getting a java error. Firebug is giving me the following error:

    “this.instances.get is not a function
    get(”global”)effects.js (line 229)
    [Break on this error] return this.instances.get(queueName) ||”

    Do you know how to fix this? I don’t even know where to look for it. I use Gtalk if you wanna guide me through it. my handle is “williamdegraaf”

    Kind regards,

    I think it’s the best wordpress design I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen ALOT very nice and clean and unique.

    I’m having some issues with mine right now because I tried to customize it a bit and ran into some issues.

    It looks wrong on IE none of the side bar modules show up. When you click on the slide bar pictures it shoots up to an anchor tag..no sure what i did there.

    At the bottom there is a scroll bar..is that supposed to be there?

    Maybe you could take a look and offer suggestions?

    Thank you,

    This is a great theme, I’m absolutely loving it, but as ibdreamy said, none of the side modules work when I try to view my own posts, and I get this too:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function show_subscription_checkbox() in /home/therichn/public_html/misswilhelmina/wp-content/themes/V5-theme/comments.php on line 122

    think you can check it out too? thank you so much, oh and I understand that you’ve already answered the same question, but I can’t understand Chinese *sheepish*

    hey yichi, one of my readers commented on the comments date, she commented on July 7th, but the comments show that she commented on June 30th instead. I checked on comments.php, but I couldn’t find anything wrong with it. :(

    Jul 7th, 2008 at 10:41 am
  63. 63

    First off, this is a VERY nice theme. I have made some graphic changes to customize it but I have made no changes to the coding. I am having some problems and I really hope you can help me out. There are 3 issues im experiencing and it’s all to do with how to renders in Internet Explorer 7. Everything looks perfect in Firefox

    1. The top Nav bar doesn’t show all the pages I have, only 1 of 8.
    2. The twitter box you type in doesn’t show at all.
    3. Last is the Flicker RSS pictures are arranged down at an angle.

    I uploaded screen shots to my site to make it easier to see what i am talking about.

    http://www.henwoodweb.com/ie7.jpg
    http://www.henwoodweb.com/firefox.jpg

    I’m really looking forward to being able to use this theme going forward once I get this all resolved. Thanks for the great work man!

    @henwoodr
    This is really embraced it encountered such as mistake under IE7, since I’m running Mac/Firefox so I just assumed it probably work fine. Anway, I’ll make an update on this theme and I’ll let you once it been fixed.

    @Eiven 交流随时都可以的,谢谢关注

    Jul 14th, 2008 at 7:58 am

    @henwoodr

    I’ve done some tweaking with yichi’s theme’s codes, and very minimal graphics customization, since I have no time to do that yet, but if you can check out my site, then you’ll see that there’s really nothing wrong with the theme. The only problem that I haven’t solved with the theme, is the date for the comments, when you comment at a later date on a post, the date shows up as the same date when the post was published and not when the comment was published.

    I’ve checked on the theme with IE7 and Firefox 3, everything seemed alright. Try to check on the sizes of the images that you replaced on the theme, that could be it.

    BTW, yichi, I’m gonna try to move the date function to the end of the post, that might help with my problem, I’ll let you know when I do, ok?

    yichi, sorry if I’m being kinda pesky now, I just wanna ask how you could show your feed on top of the page, and how do you show the RSS button?

    @ Wilhelmina, re: the problem you had with the side module not appearing when you go into the post, how did you solve that issue? I’m having the same issue and can’t figure out how to fix it.

    @ Yichi, great themes! :D

    Jul 18th, 2008 at 1:27 am
  70. 70

    After playing around with the codes trying to figure out why the sidebar wasn’t appearing (basically any elements from the comment text box) when you view the actual post (single.php), i decided to google it up and found out that i needed the subscribe-to-comments plugin.

    Seems like “show_subscription_checkbox()” needed a function which fetches from the plugin.

    After installing it the page works perfectly! I haven’t encountered any other issues yet but thought i’d share this incase others had similar issues.

    Jul 18th, 2008 at 7:11 am

    @yichi

    Still didn’t change a thing. I have removed every file off my site and even re installed wordpress with your new update as well. Nothing seems to fix this. It only happens when i enable the simple-tags plug in.

    这是我帮妹妹做的建立的一个博客,用的就是这个模板,yichi,非常感谢。
    在你模板的基础上我改了一下,将其中的twitter,flickr ,还有广告块都去掉了,另外,content宽度也被调整了比之前宽一点,将总宽度调到了1000px,本来想用100%自适应的,但是感觉不是很好看就放弃了,然后,将所有内容居中。

    可是正当我感觉还不错的时候,发现那个who am i 的滑块不工作了。

    Jul 27th, 2008 at 9:31 am

    滑块又好了,yichi能说说怎么让插件gravatar在这个模板上显示头像吗?

    另外,插件Ajax Comment Posting 的 loading.gif (正在提交)小图标也不能显示,好像是和哪里的ID冲突了,能告诉我怎么修改吗?、

    谢谢。

    @henwoodr, you’re right. It messed up under IE6. I’ll try to fix that and let you know once it’s okay.

    @wilhelmina, feed count plugin get it at http://www.mapelli.info/tags/plugin/feedcount
    @oliver, thank you :) I forgot to to disable show subscription plugin, thanks for pointed it out, I’ll fix that.

    @veker 抱歉,这个主题是设计显示一列的,分两列显示恐怕内容会显得很拥挤。

    @nina, it looks like something wrong with your wordpress or the downloaded copy may be damaged, did you tried to download it again? otherwise, please contact me directly by my contact form regarding this issue.

    @riant, 谢谢 :)

    @mymoola, wp2.6没有兼容问题,请放心使用

    You say Delicious JS is needed but there’s no direct link to it. How do i set it up. I went into the sidenote.php and saw this entry:

    My delicious

    And now when i go to chang that entry to my username it shows nothing, and the flickr feed just overtakes that side. When i replace it again with your username yichi it comes back. Now what could be the problem is there something i’m missing, doing wrong. Thank you for your help in advanced. :)

    Wonderful theme!

    My twitter messages wont show up on the blog
    I’ve set up my twitter tools options and choose to show 3 tweets in the side bar and i checked “create tweets from your sidebar”.

    But the messages i make wont show, and i cant write new ones from the sidebar, there’s no editbox.

    Sorry if im just being stupid, im new to Wp :)
    Aside from that everything is working out.

    Thanks

    This theme by yichi is awesome…..its so pretty & pleasing to the eyes…..it ticks in all the boxes of good, attractive design.

    Only it is lacking the rss button anywhere on the theme design even it has the icon in the images folder…..suppose we need to put it ourself. Anyone knows how to place the rss button around the header section, right corner & coding if needed?

    And there is no search box, which is different from other theme.

    Overall, this theme will be what I am going to use. Bravo & keep up the good work, yichi!

    Hi Yichi,

    Please tell me which plugins you’re using for:

    (1) show how many people see your post

    (2) count the downloads

    Thanks! Great work!!

    @Mattias, the theme is designed to show 1-2 tweets and please unchecked “create from sidebar and credits”. and, for a better layout, please use the official JS badge.
    @Frank, I’m working on a preview.
    @Wee Chuan, I’m afraid that you need to add the rss button manually.
