I used a theme that had this and it was dead simple to layout pages or even posts using the divs - so for a 3 column layout you'd use:</p> <p>&lt;div class="grid_4 alpha"&gt; content &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class="grid_4"&gt; content &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class="grid_4 omega"&gt; content &lt;/div&gt;</p> <p>Anyway that was really sweet and one of the things that attracted me to Thematic but I'm not clear whether this functionality is part of the framework or if I need to do something to use it.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/documentation-for-thematic#post-12946 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:36:00 +0000 Devin 12946@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I think #wrapper might be the div you are looking for.</p> <p>body {background:#333;}</p> <p>#wrapper {background:#fff; width:980px; margin:20px auto;}</p> <p>(non-tested, but should get you started)</p> <p>Hybrid is a very nice framework as well, with paid support for questions. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/documentation-for-thematic#post-12944 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:54:12 +0000 theBlogButler 12944@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>To follow up...</p> <p>I've read through the layouts in /thematic/library/styles and have settled on the 2c-r-fixed layout. The part I'm not understanding is how I would wrap the entire thing in some sort of container - trying to replicate the look of the ProPhoto theme, an example is seen here: <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/</a></p> <p>I did this in Thesis with a bunch of .custom container settings so I'm really just trying to get off the ground running here with Thematic. If I can get the container set up and my fixed layout set I feel comfortable styling everything else and I'm excited to get there.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/documentation-for-thematic#post-12942 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:35:37 +0000 theBlogButler 12942@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thank you Devin, this definitely helps and I was not aware of Canvas.</p> <p>I'm still looking for things like how to set up the layouts - maybe I'm dense and have missed that but what containers are set up by default, how to you manage that, what layouts are there out of the box, etc.</p> <p>What are your thoughts on Hybrid, out of curiosity. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/documentation-for-thematic#post-12921 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:26:05 +0000 Devin 12921@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Have you seen this: <a href="http://themeshaper.com/thematic/guide/" rel="nofollow">http://themeshaper.com/thematic/guide/</a></p> <p>If an options panel is what you're looking for, we're not quite there yet with Thematic. The options child theme I built still requires you to build most of the options you want yourself.</p> <p>In the meantime, I would definitely suggest going with Canvas by Woo Themes (over Thesis) if you need a really full featured options panel out of the box. It's licensed GPL, and I think it is much easier to theme and work with than Thesis.</p> <p>Example child theme: <a href="http://canvas2010.wptheming.com/" rel="nofollow">http://canvas2010.wptheming.com/</a></p> <p>That said, Thematic is definitely worth getting to know. It's an amazing framework and I use it for a lot of client work.</p> <p>(BTW, this forum doesn't let you post a link to W** Themes. Not sure why. If your posts get rejected without an error message, check what links you've posted.) </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/documentation-for-thematic#post-12910 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:35:08 +0000 theBlogButler 12910@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi everyone. I develop custom wordpress sites for my clients and so far have stuck to pre-made themes and modified them to my client's tastes. I'm wanting to have more flexibility and so I'm looking into theme frameworks. I really want to use Thematic but I'm having a really hard time finding solid documentation for it. I know about the readme file in the theme that gives a general idea of what it *can* do and obviously these forums.</p> <p>However, if I use Thesis I can hit the ground running with a comprehensive back-end configuration within the dashboard. I've read about Devin's effort at <a href="http://wptheming.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wptheming.com/</a> that gets a good start on this but it is not nearly as complete as Thesis'.</p> <p>I'm not meaning to argue the merits of Thesis vs. Thematic here - instead I'd really like to know where I can dig into some documentation for Thematic so that I can understand it better and make a really solid decision on which way to go.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
