Drupal 7

I have thought about it. I haven't dabbled too much in D7 as yet and will need to go through the process at some point soon.

When I get a commercial reason to go D7, this will be my testing ground.

I have had to build a couple of D7 themes recently, so this is on the horizon. As soon as my workload lightens I'll get a D7 version prepared.

already some dev drupal 7 theme of it

Started the conversion, will work on it as and when I can

Changing the Version as there is now an early dev release available.

any update on this? i tried out the -dev but seems like lots of pieces missing like home slide show, contact form, etc

The home slideshow should be working in the latest -dev release. But I haven't had time to get my head round the changes to the templating system to fix the contact form as yet.

Patches are always welcome.

hmm.. interesting. i do have latest -dev and see no indication of anything to do with slideshow? is there some manual technique to getting this working that isn't documented anywhere? i sort of thought maybe a set of imgs uploaded through the theme settings as i have seen that approach in other themes; but there is nothing in the theme config for this: http://screencast.com/t/VzSWnpJoio

The rough notes I made while building the site, will eventually become documentation, but for now they are available at:
http://www.garethalexander.co.uk/tech/boldy-theme-live-preview-setup-ins...

The slideshow functionality was stripped out of the theme. It doesn't beling there, I can see why it was done for wordpress, but with so many choices provided by drupal, it made no sense to limit the slideshow to just one implementation of it.

I have styled up for the use of the http://drupal.org/project/views_nivo_slider module, but really any could be used.

The Drupal 7 demo site is available at: http://boldy.d7.garethalexander.co.uk/ it gives an indication of how far the theme has been developed at the moment.

thanks a lot; this will help. i tried the demo a couple days ago and the site was down.. but up now and looks great.

yes, i do agree the slider shouldn't be in the theme. i'll check out the views module.

your demo does have the email form which you said wasn't working yet; is this just not done within the theme on the demo site or perhaps you have just recently updated theme to include this?

thanks for all your help..

The actual design is meant to have the name and address beside the message text area. I haven't got that styled as it should be, but the contact form itself is working as it isn't theme related.

The only thing that is in the theme is the twitter block and social media links, everything else functionally can be re-created using contributed modules, the only thing is some areas may not be styled properly as per the original demo site. That is the only thing I mean when I say it isn't working 100%.

I,

I now this is a dev, but i can't work on drupal 7....

There is any read me for the drupal7?

Thanks,

Not as yet, as you will see from looking at the demo site, I have got it almost finished, just a couple of final touches, then I will get to work on updating the instructions.

For the most part the instructions shouldn't differ too greatly from the Drupal 6 version, though.

What part are you having difficulty with and I will try to help you as best I can.

Hi,

Thanks very much for your work on this theme.

I'm getting the same error that's displayed on your D7 demo site:

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_links in boldy_preprocess_node() (line 164 of /home/gareth/public_html/boldy.d7/public_html/sites/all/themes/boldy/template.php).
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in boldy_preprocess_node() (line 164 of /home/gareth/public_html/boldy.d7/public_html/sites/all/themes/boldy/template.php).

Is this something you will be able to fix soon?

Thanks again for your work.

@limehouse, just fixed and pushed. When the next release of the dev version get published you could try that.

Hey G Bomb,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply and fix.

Cheers

OK, I'm getting fairly happy with the d7 version now, I'm going to change this to needs review in the hope that I'll get some more feedback from those using it.

Once I fix any further issues I think I'll be able to make a release.

I am closing this issue, as there is a D7 release now.
I am also going to open an issue specifically for the accessibility of the theme and mark it as a release blocker to getting a full release. Any further issues with D7 should be opened as a new issue.

Thanks for all your work G Bomb. Look forward to the full release.
