Squible Beta 1 January 22, 2006

Karrde

Finally, after months of work, frustrating code conundrums and bug squishing, it is here. Squible Beta 1.

Lots have changed in this release, as you would imagine from a Beta 1 version jump, so make sure that you read the release notes before installing it, in particular the Installation section. For those wondering what’s new, here’s a brief outline:

Administration Panel - configure the theme from within the Wordpress administration!
del.icio.us Element - include your del.icio.us links on your blog!
Last.fm Element - tell your blog readers what you’re listening to.
New Nifty Box - chock full of WebFX goodness.
Print This Post - generate a printer-friendly version of the post.

..and much more. Have a browse round this site, its running on Beta 1.

And if you’re ready to give it a try, go for it.

    What’s interesting about your ‘New Nifty Box’ is that wrote and implemented it on my page back in May and it’s popularity spread quickly in the past couple months. I’m not, by any means, saying anyone took my code cause I checked. Nothing like what I wrote. Mines much short, wanna see? But yours looks and works well also.

    I decided to build a new theme off ‘Squible’ because of alot of interesting addition. I dig the asides, and I could never get the Ajax Comments working in mine. Besides, most of the code I write IE hates. With a couple huge modifications on my part and handful of tweaks, a different version of your theme will grace my layout.

    I just want to give a shout out, and say keep up the good work.

    […] Also going on in the world of wordpress today, the Squible theme has finally reached Beta 1 status. I’ve had this theme on my site several times over the last couple of months. I considered using it for this most recent update but I wasn’t familiar enough with the code to be able to figure it out in a timely fashion. Perhaps with some monkeying around, I will figure it out.

    Thats a good news. I was waiting for this for a long time. The power of Squible with easy customaziation.The new theme layout is very impressive. Keep up the good work.

    There’s a bug. If you have 3 posts on the front page, and select the options tab on the first post niftybox then the middle nifty box will no longer line up. In fact, it was way to the left for me.

  11. Kiera January 23rd, 2006 at 12:47 pm | Permalink

    Thanks for the update, it’s much improved.

    For the next beta, would it be possible to allow Markdown to preprocess the asides for the Asides box? Also, an option to just allow all HTML in the top post rather than listing a bunch of tags would be helpful.

    Go to http://community.deafnation.com/rtblog/index.php and you will see an error message on the page as “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class snoopy in /home/dncomm/public_html/rtblog/wp-content/themes/squible/magpierss/extlib/Snoopy.class.inc on line 39″

    I looked up the host name as community.deafnation.com so I couldnt figure what else Im trying to do it right. Im using WP 2.0 and getting ready for my blog to follow my year round RV road trip :) Hope to test this out before I begin on Feb 1st!

    […] Een nieuwe Wordpress, nieuwe kansen, en ook maar eens in het Nederlands proberen! Zojuist dan eindelijk Wordpress 2.0 geïnstalleerd (ging redelijk makkelijk, maar zou simpeler moeten kunnen) en daarbij het thema Squible in gebruik genomen. Dit thema wijkt flink af van de standaard Wordpress thema’s, maar het spreekt mij wel aan. Ik moet misschien nog wel wat personaliseren, maar goed: niet alles tegelijkertijd. Eerst eens even kijken hoe dit bevalt. Tags […]

    […] 前幾個禮拜開始用 Squible 這個佈景,今天發現有新版本出現,是在1月22號發佈的>Beta 1,從原本的 Alpha 2.5 跳躍到 Beta 1。 我看也沒看說明,直接就把檔案蓋過原本的 Alpha 2.5 版,結果原本的畫面都不見了,只出現標準的文章~~Squible特有的版面風格都不見了,檢查發現 Beta 1的檔案中竟然沒了 squible-option.php 這個設定檔?!東找西找,也把原本 Alpha 2.5 版有的 squible-option.php放回去,畫面還是一樣沒變,就在快要放棄,準備要寄信去問作者的時候,看到了這個畫面: […]

    Update mania…

    Count me to the people who have updated to WordPress 2.0.1! Without having a closer look at it yet I believe them saying that about 114 bugs were closed. Even including those 114 bugs WordPress 2.0 served my purposes very well.

    […] Squible Beta 也是有用到ajax流行的一套theme,使用方式跟Sca4ered感覺有點類似,倒不是畫面類似,而是一些方便的特殊設計可能在第一時間搞不清楚怎麼使用,但是也是很迷人的一套主題。 […]

    I’ve been searching for a theme this feature rich for 6 months. Squible is truely excellent. I was thinking of items you could include (apologies if they have been said before): technorati feeds, the ability to use exerpts rather than the full post on the main page, the ability to switch on and off date info on posts. Unfortunately I am not much of a PHP developer, otherwise I would have tried myself…

  28. Simon March 25th, 2006 at 8:04 pm | Permalink

    …inaddition to my last comment, dare I mention the ability to add skype, links and logo upload functionality to squible. I think I need to learn php!

  29. Karrde March 26th, 2006 at 10:18 am | Permalink

    A lot of that kinda stuff will be much more doable in the next version, as I’m documenting the new Elements subsystem much more extensively (and cleaning it up too!)

    […] Das bisher verwendete Theme Squibble hat zwar ein paar nette Features (Squibble ist weit mehr als ein Theme, das ist ein Monster!), aber leider auch ein paar ziemlich unschöne Macken. Leider gab es nun schon seit Januar kein Update mehr. […]
