jTheme

Version 1.2 is a little but important update to jTheme.

Little because of the added features: It’s now using the Tumblr search instead of the javascript live search and the loading speed of the page was dramtically optimized.

Important because I will close my Google Pages account and the imagelinks in the thme will be broken if they won’t be changed.

So replace your installed version with this one:

Thanks for your patience.

Hello world, after weeks of tinkering I proudly present my first homemade Tumblr theme. For those who are interested I give it away under the mentioned CC license. On the left side you’ll see the download link.

I’m not a professional designer, so don’t expect that everythings works perfect (at least I tried). For questions, bug fixes or just any sort of comment on this theme please use my personal tumblelog over at web-mastered.de.

Credits:

• initial idea of creating a theme with jQuery derives from this this post (the technique is described here in detail)
• the great live search is made by Jacob DeHart (also written in jQuery)
• also I’ve used bagel’s Tumblr post icons
• several other pics are found on IconFinder (I or II)
• the color scheme is borrowed from wear palettes

Feel free to use and alter the design as you like, it has enough space for additions. Integation with Disqus isn’t a problem as you see on web-mastered.

PS: It has amazed me how simple jQuery is to handle. A lot of great plugins are available. Certainly there will come an update of jTheme…

[Update] I’ve made some minor changes to improve IE support.

Mit dem neuen Internet Explorer ist es möglich Teile einer Webseite direkt zu abonnieren, um über Änderungen dieser Bereiche Informiert zu werden, ohne den Umweg über einen RSS-Feed gehen zu müssen. Das Besondere an den so genannten “WebSlices” ist, dass sie dem hAtom Microformat bis auf ein paar kleine Unterschiede gleichen.

During my conversation with joelaz about accessing Tumblr notes and what you could do with them, he mentioned that it would be neat to display the notes alongside a post . I really liked that idea, so I added that information to my sidebar. You can see it on “post” pages that have reblogging activity (give it a second to load). It’s designed to not show anything if there haven’t been any reblogs relating to the post. If there are reblogs, then you’ll see the rebloggers’ icons and usernames, as well as who they each reblogged it from. I’ve set it up so that the icon will always link to that user’s main page, and the username will link to that user’s reblog post if they added anything to it; otherwise, it will also link to that user’s main page. That’s a limitation of the data available in the notes page. If you hover over the reblogger’s username, you’ll see some of the text that they added, if they added anything.

Unfortunately, my experience with one of the web services I used (Dapper) to make this has been quite frustrating, and I’ve wasted hours trying to get it to work on both posts with many reblogs and posts with only a few reblogs. It doesn’t seem to want to do both, so I left it working for posts with (what appear to be) more than three reblogs. I wouldn’t even need Dapper if Yahoo Pipes did something I think it should, and I’ve given feedback to the Pipes team about it. Anyway, here are some posts where you can see the rebloggers list in action:

http://coacervo.tumblr.com/post/23859873 (4 reblogs and it works)

Here are some posts where there are reblogs (click the “Show/Hide Notes” link above the footer to see them if you’re using Firefox) but no rebloggers listed in the sidebar:

http://coacervo.tumblr.com/post/23377331 (3 reblogs and it doesn’t work)

http://coacervo.tumblr.com/post/25077239 (3 reblogs, again)

http://coacervo.tumblr.com/post/26267925 (2 reblogs)

I left some debugging stuff around (some javascript functions and that Show/Hide Notes link I mentioned above) in case I decide to dig into it some more. Please excuse the mess =) If anyone has any suggestions or comments, let me know!

 Really nice! But where did you get this Dashboar Notes Key?

… hmm maybe …
