This is default Wordpress theme for Textpattern. My first public effort of porting free css design to Textpattern. It took me 1. Life is a very easy theme to customize. Palpable is a clean multi-author blog with a consistent baseline grid.
Glass is an easily customizable template with a sleek transparent design. Blue is a simple, standards compliant blog template. Pagination articles. All articles are stored in the treasure rooms that are the Archives.

Note the image above is showing a Sections panel table with several irrelevant columns turned off for simplicity, just so you understand. You could just as well arrive to the Sections panel via the main navigation and pull up the menu option on your own.
The option reveals a few associated boxes and menus when clicked. The next control is the Theme selection menu to indicate which theme should be applied. The last menus are for selecting the page and style assets in context of the indicated theme, so you need to ensure the theme selection is correct first, regardless of how you arrived to the Sections panel. The page and style assets you select are what get assigned to the section s that are checked.
Here is that image again…. We assume here they are not. The page is assumed to be constructed with conditional logic such that regardless of what section it is assigned to, it will output the necessary content as expected. By contrast, a one-to-one assignment is where multiple or all sections have a unique page template. The same idea applies to stylesheet assignments. The markup on such a page would be filled with nested conditional tag logic and might be more headache than helpful when trying to edit them.
More typically, and even for smaller websites, is a construction like follows, but this is only one of any number of possibilities:. In such a construction, the default homepage, contact form page, and error page pairings to sections are known as one-to-one page to section assignments , while the dynamic articles and common templates used against multiple sections reflect a one-to-many page to sections assignment.
Stylesheets generally have more of a one-to-many assignment because people often use a single stylesheet for the whole website; either by keeping all CSS rules in the same sheet, or by appending the rules of multiple sheets to one using the import rule. But this is not always the case, and certainly not a requirement. You might choose to use multiple stylesheet assignments in the same way you do pages, or altogether different, and especially if using a different theme on each website section.
It makes no difference how you match pages and styles with sections, whether one-to-one, one-to-many, or a combination of both, as the example structure above suggests. Textpattern will not know how you have your templates and stylesheets designed, so if they are assigned wrong, your front end presentation will break.
We assume at this point that you have now established all your needed themes and assigned their assets to sections accordingly. You may not have it all right yet, but before proceeding with doing more, consider the important indicators in themes functionality that are available to you. Under the Pages, Forms, and Styles columns of the themes table in the Themes panel are linked numbers indicating how many assets of each type are associated to a given theme; in other words, the theme packages contents metadata excluded.
When you duplicate the default theme as the next image depicts , or any other theme, the existing assets in the source theme are cloned as well, logically, thus why the duplicated themes have the same number. These numbers can change between themes, of course, as you add or remove assets in a given theme.
Click any of these numbered links and you are taken to the respective panels with the indicated number of assets in context. You can tell which theme the panel assets are in context with by the appearance of the Theme selection menu above the assets list showing the title of the relevant theme. The Theme selection menu does not appear in assets panels when the Themes panel only has one theme.
You remain in that different theme context as you browse around the back end. In addition to the assets columns in the Themes panel is the Sections column, showing how many sections are associated to the theme. They make it clear when a given theme is either live green or in development orange. There will always be a least one theme functioning as the live theme. At all other times, when there are two or more themes in the Themes panel, at least one of those themes will appear with the green pill.
As the image shows, the name of the newly assigned development theme appears above the name of the working live theme, separated by a dashed line. This means to suggest the working development environment on top of the live status.
In these situations, the common name is shown once by itself to not overload the table cell unnecessarily. In contrast to assigning assets with common names, as just explained above, you could also assign assets having different names, whether for a new development theme or an existing live theme.
As with the appearance of different theme names, the differently assigned asset names also appear above the asset names working live on the front end, separated by dashed lines. If both a new development theme and a differently-named asset are assigned, they will appear aligned across columns by their positions above the dashed lines. If you tried to view the presentation of this section with the missing page, you would get the error page instead.
If you deployed a development theme to live status when an assigned asset was missing, your front-end presentation would break. There are options for dealing with a situation like this. The most direct and intuitive fix is to click the name of the missing asset. Alternatively, you could assign a different page template to the section.
The alternate template must already exist, of course, so if not, use the solution described above. You can use the links under the Page and Style columns to directly access and work on the assigned template at the other end, then return to the Sections panel context to view how the presentation is shaping up.
Two options are available to you to apply one or more development themes to live status. The assumption for this behaviour is you do have a development project set up, completed, verified, and ready for launch. This does not delete themes or undo any development on theme assets, it simply clears the development assignments in the Sections panel, putting it back to its default, live condition.
Options are available to you. Do it as you please. Here is a hypothetical website development project that walks through building a Textpattern website — from default installation to launch of final presentation — and covers everything learned in this document so far, and then some. We assume in this example of project development that the Textpattern installation is on a local development server.
But it does not matter, even if you are working on a production server, because the website architecture expansion and themes development described here is not visible to the public anyway until the development work is launched live. Diving into a development project without any plan is never a good idea. Hopefully that does not need elaborated. The more you plan, the more efficiently you work. But it does not take a lot to make significant gains in this case.
This could be structured in any number of ways, but Table 1 shows one possible blueprint for this mapping, which is neither too exaggerated nor ideally concise.
For clarity, here are the counts and types of theme asset pairings to sections reflected in Table The map allows setting up a Textpattern website structure and theme development environment with purpose.
With the map at hand, we can use what has already been learned in earlier sections of this document. And if we proceed in a particular order, a lot of jumping around in the back end can be eliminated. First thing to be done is create the sections you mapped in your blueprints table that do not already exist. Only create sections that are missing from your blueprints, and do not edit or delete any sections that already exist.
Either use sections that exist as they are, or create new ones. Nothing to do there yet. Now the remaining nine sections need created. For each one, click the New section button.
Add the name and title of the section, leave the default theme selected four-point-eight , and select the blank option for the page and style so no page or style is selected. Save the new section and repeat the process for the remaining sections needed. You can edit those any time later after the development environment is initially setup. Right now we just want to get the sections in place quickly,. We could have easily used any other page or style options in the section editor menus, because we are going to re-assign development assets to those file locations anyway.
This does not mean develop your themes to completion. All you want to do at this point is establish the correctly named packages and ensure the component assets, especially the pages and styles forms can come later , are in place with correctly named placeholders.
Start by duplicating the default Textpattern theme. Now we have our first theme package, abc-garden. The structure blueprints say we need seven more themes: one for each of the vegetable sections and one for the fancy error page. But here is the important key, as originally mentioned in Creating theme packages! Make sure all possible page and style assets you anticipate needing across all other needed themes are created for the source theme first, even if not needed in a given theme later.
This is why creating a blueprint map of your structure is useful Table 1. All your anticipated theme, page, and style needs and names are then clear. We do this in the Pages and Styles panel in context of the abc-garden theme. Of course, we always welcome further translation by the community. More translations are added all the time!
