Prologue 1.4.1

Posted on July 24th, 2008 / 24 Comments »
Tags: ,

Version 1.4.1 of the Prologue WordPress theme is now available. Prologue is in the theme directory now, so if you aren’t into using Subversion this is the easiest way to grab the new version. Here’s the list of changes since the 1.3 release:

  • Fix CSS for lists (Matt Thomas)
  • Show login message when comments are disabled instead of comment form (Sam Bauers)
  • Don’t float the avatar out for the authors widget
  • Rename get_avatar( ) to prologue_get_avatar( )
  • Use make_clickable( ) in posts, makes URLs mentioned clickable. (Michael Adams, Barry Abrahamson)
  • Provide edit link for comments (Mark Riley)
  • Add theme tag: microblog (Lloyd Budd)
  • Respect time settings instead of hard coding them (Lloyd Budd)
  • iPhone style sheet (Matt Mullenweg)

If you’ve been having problems with WordPress 2.6 and Prologue please give this version a try before sending in any new problem reports.

    Hi, Thanks for the prologue theme. we find it very useful at http://ularal.com

    need some help:

    1.

    //# Don’t float the avatar out for the authors widget//

    i am using http://www.tsaiberspace.net/projects/wordpress/wp-authors/ wp-authors plugin to get the sidebar authors widget. if i don’t use this i don’t get any author widget by default. since u mentioned about avatar in author widget, how do i get to display the avatars in the author widget? the current widget doesn’t have option 2 display avatar?

    2. Need 2 show gravatar / wavatar in the recent comments widget too. how to do ?

    3. Is there a way to sort the authors by number of posts?

    Thanks.

    Ravi

    @ravishankar -

    Contact the author of the wp-authors plugin and ask him to include avatar support.

    For widgets, file a ticket at http://trac.wordpress.org/

    Hello,

    I have heavily customized my sidebar.php, index.php, single.php, footer and header files. Can I leave those alone in the upgrade? is simply overwriting functions.php sufficient?

    (we are running prologue on Wordpress MU, I just upgraded to WPMU 2.6 and we are indeed having some issues)

    @Aziz -

    What I’d suggest is downloading the new version and taking a look at the differences. If you have lots of customizations then merging them by hand is probably the safest thing to do.

    I’ve just upgraded to 2.6 and installed this latest version of prologue. However, whenever i click to make a comment on an entry, i get a blank page. No comments show up when i click on an entry with comments.

    Prior to this i havent made any changes to the previous version of prologue i was running.

    Just grabbed Prologue 1.4.1 and I get a blank white page after posting an update with it. Running WPMU 2.6.1

    @D’Arcy Norman -

    Any errors in the web server logs? We’ve been running on WordPress.com without any problems.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the raw apache logs on that server. It’s strange – after hitting the Post It button, there’s just a solid white page. No HTML source, no anything. I’ll keep digging around. I’ve tried a couple different browsers to see if that’s related, but it’s consistent.

    I’m running MU 2.6.1 and I have similar Issues as Norman and Jaina. I am successfully able to post and tag my “Tweet-Post” to the front page, but when I click on the permalink, I am directed to a page with just a working sidebar and the name of my blog with the Prologue theme. Even when you click on the permalink for the default ‘Hello World’ with the default comment, The Hello world post and comment from Mr. Wordpress are conspicuously absent.

    Any ideas !

    Prologue is pretty slick.

    @Monkeyclaus -

    Any errors in the web server logs? So far I haven’t been able to re-create this problem.

  13. October 15th, 2008 at 8:15 pm Monkeyclaus

    I just looked and I could not find any. I am running this on my Mac using MAMP if that helps trouble shoot at all. I host on Linux. Let me know how I can help test, I am invested in seeing this issue resolved.

    Best regards, and Way to go for being so Generous !

    2 questions for you:

    Are you thinking about making a child theme for Prologue, so we can edit it till our heart’s content?

    Has anyone tried using a podcasting plugin with Prologue. For a podcast that updates once or twice daily, this would be pretty cool.

    I love this theme, and it is certainly evolving into something more than it was initially described as. What a great thing to have.

    @Tapeleg -

    You can do you own child theme of Prologue and change it how ever you’d like.

  16. October 20th, 2008 at 10:02 am Tapeleg

    But that means I have to study!

    I’ll figure it out.

    BTW: My podcasting plugin worked great.

    Joseph,

    I fixed the problem on my end. I wanted to update you. Turns out the mistake was in the URL I am embarrassed to say. I installed a hplugin in WPMU that allows you to create blog defaults. I just noticed that this plugin is appending blog/ in the permalink of the blog I created and activated Prologue.

    In my opinion nothing is wrong with your theme. I’ll post this to your blog in that it may help others. Thanks for Prologue it is a THEME which RULES !

    @Tapelog how did you hook up the podcasting plugin into this thats RAD

    I’m not sure if this theme bears such functionality, but is there any way to use it on an integrated phpbb3-WP platform. This platform basically assigns phpbb users a WP account, and thus they can post to the blog. This theme would be perfect as it already features avatar integration and such. Any input would be appreciated.

    I was wondering what i need to tweak so that i am only able to post content of up to 140 characters?

    thanks
    JM

    hi Joseph,

    It would be nice if you could help fix this gravatar problem mentioned in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/174995 and also upgrade prologue to exploit new facilities available with WP 2.7 (like comment threading)

    thanks

  21. December 17th, 2008 at 11:11 am Joseph Scott

    Work is being done on Prologue to add some of these new features. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a release out soon.

  22. December 17th, 2008 at 11:28 am Tapeleg

    Is there a place to add suggestions? I know the theme is supposed to be lightweight, but it’s growing in use and scale. Iwould move to see an option to display a title for each post (perhaps some code that is commented out).

    But it’s still a brilliant theme.

  23. December 18th, 2008 at 7:21 pm Mark

    Loving the theme & looking forward to updates. Thanks for your work!
