Will the existing themes work with 0.9.5 ?

I’m just playing around with the new version and decided to install the Pluralism theme.

I followed the installation instructions carefully and everything looks fine.

I applied it to one page to see how it looks and I get an error ‘this web site is not available’ error.

Put it back to the standard theme and it is fine !

Hence my subject question ?

regards, Dave

In general, existing themes should be compatible with 0.9.5. though it does depend heavily on how the theme was setup by the author.

The one thing that comes to mind which may be a small problem is that a default installation of Frog in 0.9.5 no longer has the stylesheets directory and such. This can offcourse be manually changed by altering the theme or by adding the missing directories.

The reasoning for changing the default content of the public directory was to provide some more structure for theme developers to encourage a standard approach to creating themes/layouts.

Thanks for the feedback….

There are still errors in the Pluralism readme file.

The stylesheet link is wrong and the theme contains specific code for comments which breaks it if comments are not turned on.

Also the title does not have the correct <title><?php echo $this->title(); ?></title> code

cheers Dave
