I just need the damn thing to work the way I want it to. I can worry about next year when time pressures ease off and budget increases.</p> <p>I suppose the only thing that would need some work is the image-handling. For example, does thematic put a border or caption around images? I don't want any of that rubbish. But then that's just stripping off design rather than putting more on anyway. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/cms-blog-hyrbid-site-architecture-advice-needed#post-7220 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:32:21 +0000 Chris 7220@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>are you looking for someone who does the design and the functionality or is it just the functionality you're looking for?</p> <p>Chris </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/cms-blog-hyrbid-site-architecture-advice-needed#post-7219 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:01:31 +0000 em hr 7219@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I hear you on affording the time to learn. Hopefully you can find a reasonable solution that falls within your requirements. However it works out for you on this project, don't give up on WordPress and/or Thematic just yet. Things are always changing for the better around here.</p> <p>Good luck- Gene </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/cms-blog-hyrbid-site-architecture-advice-needed#post-7218 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:19:56 +0000 prjctgtns 7218@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks a lot Gene - that's very helpful.</p> <p>Unfortunately that thread is far, far to advanced for me. I think I'll have to get some help on this, or even abandon wordpress altogether and look for something more WYSIWYG. I just can't afford the time for learning this right now - it's more complex than the projects I'm wanting to put online!</p> <p>Maybe I'm being simple-minded about this, but I can't believe how difficult it still is to put together a functional website. It's years since I last tried and I sort of assumed my days of copying code into text editors were history.</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/cms-blog-hyrbid-site-architecture-advice-needed#post-7217 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 19:55:15 +0000 em hr 7217@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi-</p> <p>If you're looking for paid help check out the <a href="http://themeshaper.com/services/">commercial support &#38; services page</a>.

Here's what I'm shooting for:</p> <p>-HOME (static home page)</p> <p>-PROJECTS (page listing projects on the site)<br /> --Project A (static page featuring images and text)<br /> --Project B (same again)<br /> --Project C (looks like a blog - posts in 'projectc' category only.)<br /> --Project D (same again)</p> <p>-BLOG (looks like a blog, posts in the 'blog' category only)</p> <p>-NEWS (looks like a blog, posts in the 'blog' category only)</p> <p>Each of the blog-like sections should have their own RSS feeds. There should NOT be an over-arching RSS feed that slurps up every post on the site. I want that to be impossible.</p> <p>I also want there to be posts that I can link to that the visitor can't place in the site structure - i.e. not in a category, no 'next' or 'previous' links. I'm not sure how to do this. Maybe a category with a specific template attached to it? I don't know. I'm using just the post-id as permalinks (e.g. website.com/39) because I want it to be very easy to link to posts, almost no typing required.</p> <p>I'm a total beginner and I'm beginning to regret ever starting this site. Any help would be appreciated, including recommendations for someone I can pay to do this for me and an idea how much that might cost. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-create-a-hybrid-front-page#post-7158 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:48:15 +0000 danielgerrard 7158@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I'm still quite new to creating child themes, so please forgive me if this question is stupid.</p> <p>I intended to have a front page with three columns: a sidebar, a gallery (of some portfolio works), and some blog posts on the right. The main blog and the portfolio will be on their own individual pages.</p> <p>I tried creating a child theme for Thematic and then I copied index.php from the main theme and renamed it as frontpage.php, and then under the admin panel, created a new page with the new frontpage.php as the template. It didn't show up the posts.</p> <p>Should I be trying conditional tags instead? I'm still trying to wrap my head around using conditional tags for the problem above.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
