Arctica - Questions on your theme configuration that are not clear
  • Vote Up0Vote Down cptnem0cptnem0
    Great theme design, thanks!

    Issue #1: Home Page
    I created a page and assigned Home Page Template. However, sliders appear on every page. I see a global setting in theme layout settings for testimonial and icons, but not slider. What am I missing? Obviously the demo does not show slider on every page. Your instructions are not clear on how you expect us to configure the home page.

    Issue #2:
    I am trying to use ecommerce plugins, none of them work because of your theme system. Compatibility is a big issue with those of us that use themes. Creating a template ie: page-new.php does not solve the problem as then none of the design elements load. Please help.
    error:
    ####

    Fatal error: Call to a member function options() /_Templates.main-page.php

    ####

    Issue #3:
    How do I turn off the intrusive AIT dashboard? I cannot find a Config.php file, as mentioned in http://www.ait-themes.com/doc/how-can-i-turn-off-ait-dashboard/?theme=faq
    I also do not want the AIT admin bar menu, easy way to turn off? I appreciate what you are trying to do in regards to finding the theme settings, but it is a bit overboard if I can say that without offending.

    Like I said, great design, talented PHP and hacking of WP, but also need some clarification so we can use this theme functionally.

    Thank you!

    This theme is not compatible with basic or advanced Wordpress plugins. Which is an absolute misuse of the Wordpress software, especially when you are attempting to sell the theme. The loop is designed to be easy to modify and tap into, and you've seemed to not support plugins with eCommerce capability. A representative said on ThemeForest that this was apparent at the time of purchase, which is an outright lie. There is no "compatible plugins" area on the ThemeForest description page you have up for the theme. When will the functionality be added, or when can a refund be issued for your misrepresentation of a product?

    This is somewhat embarrassing, isn't it?

    Hi, first issue was solved in another your question, second was sent to the developer, he look at this error. Error you wrote you get after creating new template file, or directly when you tried to use plugin in default template?

    The config.php file you can create yourselft. Hope it is not problem to create it. Just insert into this file content which you can see in the documentation. Of course with values you want...
    Regards, Ivan.

    I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by building a theme framework on top of another theme template system (Wordpress). I can see you have a Smarty type template system with a markup language, but what does this accomplish that cannot be done with Wordpress tags? I do not like smarty, this is why I use Wordpress.

    The additional server load and MySQL requests just for a page load should be enough reason to throw that out completely, no? If your 'Latte' framework provided a functionality in addition to Wordpress I might understand, but I do not see it. In Wordpress a custom template can be designed by creating a single page, page-new.php, then that page can be coded however you see fit, removing or adding wordpress tags to create compatibility or to change what scripts are loaded etc. With your 'Latte' frame work one must create page-new.php, /templates/main-page-new.php, and then there is main-page-layout.php, which also needs to be duplicated, removed or customized. Seriously? What broken logic brought you here?

    Bottom line, I think this theme needs to be released without the AIT 'Latte' framework.

    Hi cptnem0,
    first let me clear up some missunderstoods. "Latte" is not a (our) framework, it is a template filter from Nette Framework. We decided to use this MVC-like architecture because of horrible mixing PHP and HTML code together in complicated templates. It was quite mess in some places.

    And yes. If you create page-new.php WP template file, you created a "controller" and that controller needs "view" - own file with HTML and Latte syntax. (see docs) You needn't to create main-page-layout.php. Just extends existing one with {extends 'main-layout.php'} macro.

    Benefits of templates with Latte syntax are that you have total control over HTML and it is much more readable than WP PHP tags+HTML.

    We know about some plugins incompatibilities and we try to solve them. Give us please some time :)

    Thanks for explanation! ;)

    I am finding ways to work around the issue by creating new controller files.

    I was looking at compatibility issues with WooCommerce plugin. This plugin uses functions as get_header(), get_footer() which loads header.php, footer.php files and so on. But in our themes we didn't use those files. They are unnecessary.

    So we know where the problem is. We need just to find good solution for that.
