Ocean Theme

Post by Deak »

I made my first Theme for CMS Made Simple. This is a sort of thanks for all the help the community has given me and, of course, the developers for making my favourite content management system. Hope you like it!

View the demo website: http://ocean.colony101.co.uk

View the screenshots on popular web browsers: http://colony101.litmusapp.com/pub/f7e65f8

Download the Theme from the CMS Made Simple Theme Site.

Features include:

* jQuery-powered featured-content widget on the homepage -- easily updatable, it's just a bulleted list of images and the displayed caption is pulled from your alt text.

* 3x page layouts -- homepage + two content page variants

* Pages with multiple editable regions

* Cufón-powered text replacement for H1, H2, and H3s. This uses pure JavaScript to swap boring text headings for beautiful anti-aliased custom fonts. It's SEO and screen-reader friendly too.

* Easy to customise!

* CSS selectors for handling common CMSMS modules like blog and news

Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added and/or any comments.

Cheers,

Deak

Thanks for the effort of doing something for the community.

I've been trying to do a theme for ages but too busy doing client work. I think your efforts have given me the motivation to get off my butt and do a theme.

Great work Deak.

Hi Matthieu,

Cufon should be enabled for all 3 templates, however you will need to set the cufon class on your H1, H2, or H3. You can do this in TinyMCE:

1. Select your H1, H2, or H3.

2. From the style drop-down menu, select cufon; it should be the first item in the list.

You're done.

You can also extend the range of elements that can be cufon'd by edititing the JavaScript file named css-replace.js. By default I've just added:
Cufon.replace('h1.cufon');
Cufon.replace('h2.cufon');
Cufon.replace('h3.cufon');
Just copy the syntax and add new lines, for example:
Cufon.replace('h4.cufon');

Hi Deak,
Thank you very much for your answer, but the problem is I can't see cufon directly on your website http://ocean.colony101.co.uk for all the pages but the home page. I tested it on all browsers.
When I download the theme and install it on a test server it is the same, I have cufon displayed on the home page but not on the other pages.
Do you know where can come this weird behaviour ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Matthieu,

Yep, you're right; thanks for spotting it. This Litmus test confirms content pages have an issue outside of IE8, Chrome 2.0, Opera 10.0, Safari 3.2, and Safari 4.0:

http://colony101.litmusapp.com/tests/36 ... ults/saf3m

I'll take a look.

Okay, it's fixed (check version 2 on the Litmus test).

All the templates require jQuery, so in the templates for Content Page 1 Column and Content Page 2 Column add:
{JQueryTools action=incjs}
Just after {stylesheet}.

I'll add a download of the fixed version on the demo site.

Cheers,

Deak

Great job Deak!
I've never heard of cufon before - I tried sIFR a while ago and gave up on it. I never thought to see if there was an alternative.

I'm mucking about with jQuery at the moment - I feel like a kid in a candy store!

Congrats on a slick and very usable template.

Hi Axis, sorry but your description doesn't help me help you.

I assume you have added a sub-page and then set its parent to be another page?
