   The comment form is not broken. Please take a look at the Widescreen page for an overview of this template. Here is a test comment with a link, some strong text and some emphasized text.

2. Jamie | 1 March 2006, 23:32

   Very tricky comments setup… I like it!

3. kielby | 2 March 2006, 16:54

   this comment box appears broken in firefox (it moves when i scroll, in IE it stays next to the comments section)

4. patchwork | 2 March 2006, 17:45

   this one is very nice!

5. Ashis | 2 March 2006, 18:05

   Hey Cool!
   Can U tell me what plugin/script RU using for the photo gallery?

6. James | 2 March 2006, 22:51

   Ashis—there’s no script; it’s just Textpattern and the standard image interface. I’ve put some more information about it on the widescreen page. Thanks for taking a look!

7. commnetissue | 26 March 2006, 15:34

   the comment box is all over the place, it does not stay put, it moves, the text moves, sometime only half the text appears? How do you fix it?

8. James | 26 March 2006, 15:40

   Hi comment issue,

   Please take a look at the widescreen info page. While the comment input form is supposed to remain in a fixed position (i.e. not scroll with the page), the template has a number of layout bugs when viewed in Internet Explorer and Opera. I�m going to try to work those out in future versions.

9. lol | 31 March 2006, 00:29

   lol this comments box is dynamic and scrolls with the window….uhh is that supposed to happen?

10. Andrus | 2 April 2006, 17:54

    Not sure what I like better, the spiffy comment box reveal (works in Camino!) or the image “behind the Lit Brothers building…” Very nice photograph.

11. Anthony Y. | 2 April 2006, 19:10

    very neat!

12. James | 5 April 2006, 22:48

    Here’s a test of a blockquote in the comments:

    Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and the wonder surrounding him.

13. James | 5 April 2006, 22:50

    Walker Evans once said:

    Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts.

    Now here’s a paragraph that follows the blockquote.

14. James | 5 April 2006, 22:56

    Here’s a blockquote (William Eggleston) followed by a linked image:

    I am at war with the obvious.

    

15. Rose | 7 April 2006, 06:07

    I love this template :D

16. Lindsay | 10 April 2006, 00:48

    Beautiful.

17. Mike | 13 April 2006, 22:35

    Beautiful template.
    Just testing the comment form.

18. John | 14 April 2006, 10:20

    awesome template. i’m struggling to get it to work though. i must have messed up the install somewhere. the /archive works for me but the main page does not. any suggestions?

19. James | 14 April 2006, 10:30

    John, it looks like you’re template isn’t outputting the doc-head form. Did you name it correctly (with a hyphen) and set it to type “misc”?

20. John | 14 April 2006, 11:19

    wow. awesome. i really appreciate that.

21. matt | 14 April 2006, 14:02

    Very nice template :)

22. Lysiane | 22 April 2006, 18:15

    Hey, this is a wonderful, very creative template. I’m viewing it with the Opera browser, though (8.54), and the comment window is always on display even when at the top of the page, so that it’s covering the left info section. Works well in Firefox, though…

23. Lysiane | 22 April 2006, 18:21

    But obviously you were aware of this. Sorry. :)

24. Rodger | 27 April 2006, 18:25

    Nice photo

25. junuletaGrafikisto | 1 May 2006, 10:22

    Jes, certe tiu ?i pa?-?ablono ege bonaspektas. Mia nura demando estas: ?u anka? legeblas ta?ge unikodan teskton?

26. kevin | 3 May 2006, 22:20

    ?? ????!

27. leeberzon | 11 May 2006, 12:32

    Hi! From Russia ;)

28. Mustafa G�rmezer | 18 May 2006, 19:25

    Wow, very good work. I installed it. But the last photo is not on the startpage. Only the archive view is the first page?! What can I do ?

29. James | 20 May 2006, 10:04

    Hi Mustafa,

    I took a look at your photoblog and I think you might have your archive section pointing to the search_results page rather than the archive page.

    Take a look at this screenshot and make sure everything matches up. Good luck!

30. Mustafa G�rmezer | 20 May 2006, 14:39

    Ji James,

    thanks for the hint. But no. It was a try to solve it myself. Now the settings are the same. But I only get a full sized picture on frontpage when I make a 700px Thumbnail from the last uploaded image. But the archive is then still visible on the frontpage.

    What can I do to place one full sized image at the frontpage like at your Widescreen Demo ?

    Btw. your image on frontpage is a very very good shot !

31. Mustafa G�rmezer | 20 May 2006, 14:45

    Hi James again,

    sorry sorry sorry. You were right. Now I solved it.

    Thanks for the wonderful Photoblog theme. I have never seen a better one…

32. Jorge Cocompech | 26 May 2006, 19:07

    Where can i dowload tru_tags plugins? Can you send me this plugins?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I’m really surprised about what I found here! I’m recently getting into Textpattern and thought of it as a ‘downgrade’ of WordPress and alikes…
    ...until now. Wow!

    I do love Widescreen. I’m definetly going to make use of it sooner or latter. I have a question, though:
    How can I integrate it with a Textpattern text blog? Do I need two ‘instances’ of Textpattern installed? Do you have no text posts within jamesmuspratt.com/widescreen ‘cause wanted only the ‘photolog’ or ‘cause widescreen doesn’t let you have them?
    (as an explanation: I’m talking about the relationship between your main site ‘www.jamesmuspratt.com’ and ‘www.jamesmuspratt.com/widescreen’)

    Thanx in advance for the replies and for the great ‘superadvanced’ theme!

    Have a good day you all,
    hip

34. Zoekmachine Optimalisatie | 4 June 2006, 14:57

    Real nice theme, done a great Job!!

35. James | 5 June 2006, 08:05

    Hi hip,

    I use two separate Textpattern installations to run my main site (which has several sections) and the Widescreen demo (which has the front page, archive, tag, and search sections). I haven�t really designed Widescreen to support long text posts without photos, so yes, I�d recommend separate installations. Good luck!

36. caogang | 7 June 2006, 12:12

    why i use tag,website no works.
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_strtolower() in /home/toto122/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(459) : eval()’d code on line 71

37. Matt Makris | 13 June 2006, 01:23

    Did you know that if you type the pound symbol ( # ) into the Live Search field, it causes a major glitch in Safari? Try it out and see for yourself!

38. Ghana Real Estate | 25 June 2006, 20:30

    Great Website

39. Ashish Gupta | 28 June 2006, 15:36

    Wow I am loving it. The template is great for textpattern CMS.

40. Kohant | 4 July 2006, 01:33

    Ja bych sem normalne nekoukal. No ale gdyz uz Sigi poslal ten odkaz…......

41. Ghana Hotel | 6 July 2006, 19:57

    Thanks for the theme

42. Beads | 6 July 2006, 19:58

    Cool Commet system

43. Try from Zaxik | 4 August 2006, 10:29

    I want to try it :-)

44. gleam | 5 September 2006, 05:48

    test :p

45. Chris Phares | 23 September 2006, 11:45

    Very nice. Changing the color cheme with each photo is beautiful

46. Lysiane | 25 September 2006, 14:41

    Hi,

    I was wondering how you paginated your archives in textpattern ? It’s really very nice.

47. James | 25 September 2006, 18:30

    Lysiane—
    Thanks, and good question. As you may know, in Textpattern the txp:article tag allows for paging, while txp:article_custom does not. Because Widescreen was built to show the current image on the installation’s front page (using the default section template), the “root” of the archive section can show paged thumbnails via txp:article and a limit, plus the txp:older and txp:newer tags. To put it another way, in Widescreen every article is being posted to the archive section, so you have both the root page and /archive/ page to work with.

    This arrangement is impossible if you’re using Textpattern to control a bunch of different sections and the “front page” is already spoken for. On my regular site, the photoblog is a non-root section, so I can only show non-paging thumbnails in the archive – they’re displayed from the photography section via txp:article_custom.

48. Lysiane | 26 September 2006, 15:00

    Thank you! It was a really informative answer. Now that I understand where the limitations are, I finally know by which end to tackle the problem and look for a possible workaround, if I ever do want to.

    I still really like this photoblog layout since I saw it the first time, I’m thinking of adopting it someday or perhaps inspire from it. :)

49. Zander | 4 October 2006, 07:16

    Brilliant template James!

    I can not seem to get it to work at the moment, I am very new to Textpattern and so quite possibly could have done something wrong. I only have the first page up and even that does not work properly.

    I also can not get the htaccess file to work, the moment I install it, it stops the site working.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Cheers dude

50. Herbert | 16 October 2006, 10:18
