this theme don't work on a distant server http://getsimple.net63.net/

I set the home page with the theme index.php and other pages with the default theme
what is the solution??

[Connie]

I installed the theme, set the template for the index-page to "index.php" and the other pages are using the default, template.php

it does not work.

Leonku, please read the my comments to your theme and give us a better version of your theme.

1)

give a detailled description how to use that theme

2)
the menu.php from the subfolder /htb has to be moved to the main menu. Unless that the page will not work. And I doubt that it even after moving that file the theme works correct.

Why did you include the folder /htb ?

3)
you included marketing content in the theme's 2 sidebar-php-files.
This is not acceptable.

If you want to include content in a theme, it has to be done using components and you as theme-author have to describe how to edit and use these components.

It is not acceptable for users who want to use a theme to edit a template-file to get rid of your content.
This relates to all three boxes in the sidebar.

4)
It is no good practice to add a jquery file and not to documentate that. THis will bring a lot of problems when users use photogalleries f.e. and these conflict with "your" jquery

by the way the jquery file that you use, is too old. So when users activate your theme, it is possible that this old version will stop other plugins, because they rely on newer versions

5)
it is no good practice to add a PNGfile as banner image which is 1.2 MB by size.
You should describe in your theme's description that it uses a PNG with rotating images

better practice to get a working rotation header is to use a slider!

Please accept my points, my whish is to have good working templates and not disfunctional themes

by searching the code a bit of this theme, I saw the need to use the plugin I18 http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/i18n/69/
activate this plugin (if it is not done)
But this is not always top the sub menus are not displayed!

[Connie]

so I think this theme needs a very general overhaul,

documentation needs to be done as well

you cannot use it out of the box

I think, as long as Leonku does not deliver a working new version of this theme, just do not use it, it is too buggy

@ leonku

hello,
I left you a private message on the access to my test site with the theme africa. Were you able to do something about it.
thank you

[leonku]

I think, as long as Leonku does not deliver a working new version of this theme, just do not use it, it is too buggy

i dont appreciate you making for me a new version please i think you should give me time to fix some errors than you making changes

[Connie]

who said that somebody made a new version for you?

We wait for you to clean the theme ;=)

[leonku]

I think, as long as Leonku does not deliver a working new version of this theme, just do not use it, it is too buggy

i didnt know you decide for people what to use and what not to use , since your admin why dont you just delete the theme if you dont like it ? Please delete it if you dont like it other than telling people not to use it

[Connie]

Leonku,

we want good themes.
I think you accept that themes which are offered for easy use in a CMS should be error-free, easy to use and easy to configure.

I checked your theme after users wrote that the theme is not working.
I listed mistakes and asked you to fix these errors and give a better version of your theme.

My suggestion to users was not to use it until the errors are fixed.

I do not see any will on your site to deliver a better theme. I repeat my suggestions, but better to read them above.

If you want to contribute here, I ask you to
- publish a working version
- move the text from the theme to components etc.
- accept that a certain quality level is essential

[Connie]

I ask again:

did you work on your theme? Did you check the points which were listed?

As the theme is now, it is not working or contains content which is not intended to be in a theme ...

please do, as we asked earlier, an overhaul of your theme or "un-publish" it

for sure the best would be that we get a working version without marketing content ;=)

Cheers, Connie
