Daleri for Blogger?

12 July, 2007 (12:35) | Themes, Webdesign, WordPress | By: Andreas

Since the release of the first two Daleri themes for WordPress I have got a number of requests from users of other blogging tools, asking me to release versions of the designs for Blogger and sNews among other systems. Extracting the design from the WordPress themes can be a bit hard, so I will do it for you and release both theme designs as regular XHTML/CSS-templates as well. If anyone who reads this would want to do a port of the template, let me know and I'll send it over as soon as it is ready.

Hi Andreas,

I was triying to translate in italian the Dalery Dark Theme, when I found in the single.php page, on line 21 the following sentence: Inlägget kunde inte hittas. What does it mean? Can you please translate it in english (is it like the 404 error?).

P.S.: it would be good to make the themes available also for Drupal, which is a popular and very good done open source CMS.

It means that no entry could be found. It is a text that is probably printed out if blog or site contains no posts. But that would mean that single.php wouldn't be used, so that text may be useless. I need to check that out. Anyway, I'll have the text fixed for the next update. Thanks for the hint!

Very welcome!

I just began to use it on a blog I manage (http://www.centrostudilaruna.it/huginnemuninn) and translated it in italian.

Hej Andreas. I will remember you at Daleri have some problems with 800 x 600 position and header image position. Will be great if this come arranged to the next steps. Thanks.

Jan: The Daleri designs are made for a screen width of 1024 pixels or more, so what happens at 800px is not a problem. But resizing the design to fit 800px screens is not very hard, it is a matter of editing some CSS values and making the background image fit the new width.

But I am planning to release the Daleri Diary theme for WordPress soon, and it will be similar to Selection except that it has only 2 columns and is 800px-friendly. Adding an 800px version of the design in the template release could be a good idea, so I'll do that.

Any other requests?

I think it good idea. I too use this CMS on the site, it is more convenient than WordPress though has less functions, but more simpl. If it is necessary, I can give 1 ready pattern under this CMS.

Dima: Is your site built with sNews?

Yes, I have one more request. Is possible at jokkmokk.biz theme come to be a free website template? Are so great and so simple. If you make this to be a open template will grow up over the Andreas01 popularity. Maybe. Ok, was just an idea.

Such a pitty that the best themes are available for Wordpress instead of Serendipity :-(

Jan: I have got several requests about releasing the custom-designed WordPress theme that is used on Jokkmokk.biz, but that will probably not happen since the theme is heavily customized for that site. It would simply not be possible to release it as a public theme without rebuilding it completely from scratch. But releasing the design as a regular template? Well, that could actually be a good idea! I don't own the design, I built it for Jokkmokk.biz through ITUS, but I will look into it and give you an answer as soon as possible.

Alexander: It is happening right now. New templates are on their way, and sooner or later I will actually manage to get them released on the site as well!

Muschi: The Daleri Diary theme for WordPress will be released soon. I will be going through the last tests tonight, so I will hopefully have a test version online within two days.

Hitmeister: The Daleri themes will be released as a regular XHTML/CSS template within a day or two. Feel free to port it to Serendipity if you want to! The template will include features and layout variations from several different WordPress themes (Daleri Selection, Daleri Diary, Daleri Dark) along with the header setup that you see here on andreasviklund.com, so you can probably build a very usable S9y theme from the template version.

Andres it's great news for me that You will release The Daleri Diary theme for WordPress - I also want to use it (right now I'm testing one of Your templates) and this will be another. I like Your wordpress templates - and it's good that You ask us what we think about new templates, so we can tell You what we like or what we don't like on the new test version. So I will wait for 2 days.

Andreas, if interests you, I'm just about done porting Daleri for sNews 1.6. Minor modifications left to do to the styles, but nothing heavy. Let me know if you want to review it.

Fred: Sure I would! But please keep in mind that the Daleri website template version will contain a lot of features and possibilities that is missing in the WordPress theme versions so you may want to check the final template before releasing an sNews version.
