Hello Daniel, as you will see, I modified a lot the look of your cover wp theme as I used it to migrate from a full html site to a wordpress site. My problem is, for the time being, that I would like to show the full post on the homepage and not the summary. I am a newbie in php and tried different possibilities in order to modify your code but… pointless, I failed. Could you help me ?
The second point is that I would like that the sticky post (with a welcome message) to stay on the top of the homepage title, not below it. That is important to me, as I will soon develop the website in french and english thanks to qtranslate plugin.
Anyway, thank you for your great job, hoping you will help me solve the “summary post” problem.
Hi,
Wow! I’m really impressed you took the theme and did that out of it 🙂
Showing the full post instead of the summary should be easy, open the file home.php and replace any occurences of
[code]<p><?php for($i = 0; $i <= $count – 1; $i++) { echo $excerpt[$i]; echo ‘ ‘; } echo ‘…’; ?> <a” href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php _e(‘Read entire article’,’cover-wp’) ?> »</a”></p>[/code]
with [code]<?php the_content(_e(”Read entire article’,’cover-wp”).’ »’); ?>[/code]
Add the same modifications also in index.php.
As for the sticky post, that’s a bit more complicated:
Enter the following code in the exact location where you would like to display the sticky post:
<?php $sticky = get_option('sticky_posts'); $args = array('post__in' => $sticky); ?> <?php query_posts($args); ?> <?php if((have_posts()) && (!empty($sticky))) : ?> <div id="sticky"> <h3><?php _e('Announcements','cover-wp') ?></h3> <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h2><a" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link to','cover-wp') ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a"></h2> <p class="postmeta" style="margin-bottom:2px;"><?php the_time(__('F jS, Y','cover-wp')); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link(__('Add a Comment','cover-wp'), __('1 Comment','cover-wp'), __('% Comments','cover-wp')); ?></p> <div class="the_content"> <?php the_content(_e(''Read entire article','cover-wp'').' »'); ?> </div><!-- /the_content --> <?php endwhile; ?> </div><!-- /sticky --> <?php endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>Then before the original loop (line [code]<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>[/code]) add the following line, to deny the sticky post from being listed there:
[code]?php query_posts(“caller_get_posts=1&showposts=1”); $i = 1; ?>[/code]
Make sure you do these modifications only in the blog style view, as I see that’s the one you’re using.
Good luck!
Well, thank you Daniel. I like to work at the design and I chose your theme because it is great built and has a lot of features 🙂
As you will see, I followed your advices but I have still 2 problems :
1. The homepage is shown with full posts, that is fine, but we can see the mention “Read the entire article” (in romanian) with a dead link and it is now pointless. How can I remove this from all the posts the homepage ? Sorry for the question, I do not want to waste your time but after many tries I couldn’t fix it… But I learn every day managing a park, trust me ! 🙂
2. I would like to remove the date and comments from the sticky post on the top, as it it useless and will remain there as a “welcome message” for our visitors. How to do it ?
Thank you again Daniel,
Olivier
Hi,
Try using the code blow. This should not display any date, comment count or broken read more link:
<?php $sticky = get_option('sticky_posts'); $args = array('post__in' => $sticky); ?> <?php query_posts($args); ?> <?php if((have_posts()) && (!empty($sticky))) : ?> <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h2><a" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link to','cover-wp') ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a"></h2> <div class="the_content"> <?php the_content(_e(''Read entire article','cover-wp'').' »'); ?> </div><!-- /the_content --> <?php endwhile; endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>By the way, see you at your park one weekend? 😉
Hello again Daniel,
I tried your solution but it did not work well on the website.
So I decided to simply use the common feature of sticky post on WordPress and applied this simple php code described : [url=http://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-date-fom-single-post-welcome-message-1]here[/url], and put it in the loop div in home.php.
It worked fine to remove on the sticky post the date, comments and category.
But I still have this dead link with “Read full article” at the beginning of each post that is annoying… I keep on digging and will write back if I find something useful!
OK, you are welcome in our park if you come in Bucharest ! But for now we will close the facility for the winter period, as it is cold down here in Romania…
Cheers !
Olivier
I just fixed the dead link problem : in home.php, within the loop, I simply replaced the following expression :
<?php the_content(_e(‘Read entire article’,’cover-wp’).’ »’); ?>
by
<?php the_content(); ?>
and it vanished !
Thank you again for your time, Daniel
