Hi,
I was waiting (or hoping rather) that you’d make the Digg theme into 3 columns. Great design!

I’ll be checking back daily for more of these great themes. If you ever want to try out a Drupal theme, please give me a shout. I’d be glad to pay for your talent.

Thanks

Brian - thanks, but I’m loving wordpress rightnow.

Hey! Great theme! I modified it today and put it on my blog. Check it out.

Also I found one error in file comments.php line 90. You have written cols=”80″ but this is too wide, I correct it to cols=”70″ and it’s just right wight.

Keep up the good work!

I fixed up this theme so that both sidebars are registered. It only requires a couple changes. When you call the register_sidebar() function, change it to sidebars(2). Then when you call dynamic_sidebar(), insert the argument of “1″ or “2″ to specify which sidebar you are talking about. You also have to modify obar.php so that it calls dynamic_sidebar() like sidebar.php does. I put the default text that you hardcoded into the theme inside the “if” loop so it will show up if the sidebar plugin is not loaded.

Once I made those little changes, I was able to configure widgets on both the right and the left sidebars. Very spiffy.

I also hacked up a sidebar widget to go with adsense deluxe so I can configure the placement and specify the adsense block to use in the sidebar. You can see a skyscraper block in my left sidebar now.

I started using Digg 3 Columns on my weblog tonight, and just wanted to drop by to say thanks. It’s terrific.

One small problem, though (wouldn’t you know?)…

I cannot get “Next Page” and “Previous Page” to appear at the bottom of my pages. I don’t think this is a problem with your theme, since I’ve had this problem since I upgraded to Wordpress 2.1. I just wondered if maybe you would be able to shed some light.

Thanks!

The only modification I made was in the css file… I changed the page title from uppercase to lowercase. Other than that, everything is straight out of the box.

Weird, huh?

Hey!

It’s working now. I just deactivated several plug-ins, and it started working. I don’t really know which plug-in was the culprit. I reckon I could find out by going back and reactivating them one by one, but the better half is screaming for me to go to the grocery, so can’t right now.

Anyway… wanted to let you know… problem solved!

Love your work. The input box for comments is too wide though. It crosses into the sidebar.

I tried changing it in comments.php from cols=”60″ but nothing worked. Is there something in the stylesheet that needs adjusting?

Michael - the latest version of this theme by default has only 60 cols for textarea. I thought 70 cols and down would do. Weird.

Other than limiting the width of textarea, you can also change the font size for textarea only.

Nice custom banner and adsense integration. Thanks for using my theme!

Okay so apparently I suck. I fixed my header and I’m now sorry I asked without fully trying to figure it out myself.

Now I’m getting errors when attempting to post comments:

(error messages edited out by Small Potato. reason: non-theme related problem… and it was too long, which caused a horizontal scrollbar)

The comments get posted, but the viewer is left with this error page. What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks

So everything’s fine now? Sorry I didn’t respond earlier, had a lot of things to do yesterday.

You mean the spacing in between each block?

whoops, lost part of my post, but i think you get what i’m saying.

hmm, there’s no line-height section under “sidebar ul ul li”
Any other ideas?

no more questions, that fixed it. thanks man!

Hey, awesome theme you got here. One question: When it puts the pages into tabs, at the very top, mine aren’t showing up. In it’s place is an “about” page that I don’t even use, and that doesn’t really go anywhere. Any ideas where to go to fix this?

Thanks. I will try this themes. I on searching to find the good themes for my games blog.. But not found.. This themes I try on my personal blog.

Matrox,

Love the banner! Very technish/fitting. The add feed might be out of place. Unlike the adsense, which was well integrated.

with cats how can i make them display like pages do eg

test > test 1

instead of
test
test 1
with no visual link?

Andrea,

Normally, my themes don’t break when viewed with IE6. It depends on what you have in your blog posts.

Big photos that expand beyond the width of the middle column is usually the problem.

That’s because the images used in my tutorials series are too big. What you’re looking at is the demo of Digg 3 with my blog’s content (including the big images).

The two doesn’t match. IE6 therefore pushes the right sidebar down.

When you use this theme for your blog. Make sure your images fit within the middle column.

I have IE6 and it doesn’t push your right sidebar down.

But, for one thing, the size of the drop down archive list is too big.

Although you have no errors, I don’t know if the customizations you’ve made to the middle column affect the layout or not.

If you want me to answer other support questions, please post it here:

Thanks for the great theme! You’re Big potato in my books! lol

I’ve made a couple mods to your design so feel free to check out my new site.

Hi Small Potato-

I’m sorry about not having the link there. I wasn’t aware of the CC rule so I’ll put one in…no problem at all.

Thanks for the great looking theme. I’m using it, with a few slight modifications, on my website, http://www.andreasrecipes.com. And of course you’ve got credit in the footer and a link back.

Hi –

I’m a noob, and I’m using this theme for my blog, Nuts about Needlepoint (http://www.nuts-about-needlepoint.com). I’d like to make some changes and haven’t got a clue how to do this.

I’d like to:
change the title from all upper to upper and lower case (and change the font as well)
change the color of the tabs at the top and maybe add some (I’m not sure about that part)
change the color of the background behind the title and the box it’s in
maybe (if I feel comfortable enough) change the box behind the title to an image of mine

Thanks heaps for all your help!

Janet

thanks very cool..

Kudos - great theme!

I was following the thread and saw that you wanted to make sure people do not remove the Creative Common license and to keep the linkback to you. I’m using your theme and do not recall deleting anything like this.

Am I missing something? I want to make sure you get your due credit.

Small Potato. This is great, have been trying to persuade my boss about Digg, with this I am going to try again. Wish me luck!

Hi, Nice theme! However, it seems that it has not been internationalized properly. I know it relies on wordpress translations but some other themes seems more translated. Maybe you are using hardcoded strings in some places rather then resource Ids or something? Thanks

Great design. Thanks.

I need to know how to change the background color and the bar color in the header. Is this possible to put a graphic in there?

Lools really great, thank you a lot! Just about time for some good 3 Column Design…

Hi Small Potato,

Thanks for the Digg Theme. I am using this theme and have modified a bit. check this at:

http://www.designersandeep.com

Where can I find this in RED? I saw it someplace in 3 other colors but now I can’t find the page.

Please email me if you know.

I have a solution for my problem.
So add trackbacklink and comments- feed according to this: http://www.das-koenigliche-wir.de/blog/?p=167

Wow now this is freaking beautiful — > http://mrbriefing.com

I like the color you have up top, so apparently it can be changed.
I want a lighter pinstripe gray in the background.

I have been using Kubrick but for some reason cannot figure out how to get rid of the plain area around the main area so my stripes won’t look weird, such as here:

http://www.atkinsontaxpayers.org/atkinson

This DIGG theme is one step up and if I can customize header color and background, it would be the one I would move to for all my sites.

Ok thanks, I’ll dig around for the blue image replacement too, assuming it’s the same deal.

thanks for your efford

i love this theme! i have 1 challenge : i love the top left hand side tabs but it seems like i cant add on more tabs by creating more pages?

OK in addition to adding links to the top, what happens with the calendar? Is it just there or do I have to add it? I have trouble with this now that the widgets are added they won’t let me remove links in the sidebar include on the plain Kubrick model.

Don’t know where this went…it’s gone!

http://mrbriefing.com

Yes I know but when I went to edit the sidebar (on the one I showed you) I could not remove the usual 2 or 3 links from it manually — they just stayed there.
The widget only lets me rename ‘meta’ to ‘admin’ or something I can undersand.

I usually just leave the login/logout button there.

I was following the thread and saw that you wanted to make sure people do not remove the Creative Common license and to keep the linkback to you. I’m using your theme and do not recall deleting anything like this.

[…] Digg 3 Columns [ Preview […]

I love the theme. I have modified it a bit. I too never saw a linkback, which i am happy to give. Maybe on my links page I’ll just add it and credit you with creating the theme.

http://francetales.com

I’m going over to the forum to get a few more support questions answered. thanks again, i love the theme.

I’m not able to put Adsense in the left sidebar. I paste it into a text widget and place the widget in the sidebar, but nothing is displayed, or the 120×600 vertical skyscraper Adsense box instead appears in the middle(actual blog post) instead of on the left sidebar?

Hi,

Thank you for your outstanding theme. I have one question. I am creating new pages in my admin but they are only coming up in my “pages” widget in the sidebar, and not in the “tabs” above the header. How do I get my pages to be included in the tabs above the header? I would love that so I could have my new pages stand out up there, but I can’t seem to get a page to pop up there.

Thanks for your help if you get a chance,

Jeff

Thanks for the neat looking well laid out theme.
I want the trackback url to be shown as a hyperlink along with comments.
How can i get this? Any suggestions.

While looking at the source code of pages on my site, I noticed that the actual page content is way down in the code. It is preceded by all of the ’support content’ from the 2 sidebars. Doesn’t this make the theme SEO-unfriendly? Is there an easy way to change the structure of the lay-out so that the middle column gets listed first in the source code?

Great theme, i like this style.

thank u

I am having a problem with the combination of Digg 3 and the WP-PostRatings 1.20 Plugin for WP.

Here is my issue….

I have installed the latest version on WP-PostRatings….1.20. I need a little pointer if anyone knows where I can fix the Loading… issue. It seems like there are two different templates being used depending on how the WP page is viewed. i.e.

- If you go into WP using a CAT= parameter then the page gets handled differently and the STATIC values are inserted into the page e.g. “Loading..” is now a static text value….instead of the SCRIPT being inserted into the page as normally happens wit PostRatings. This is why the Loading never goes away I think. Example http://belfair.axio.com/?cat=6

So, if you enter WP with a single post then it resolves correctly as far as PostRatings is concerned. Example http://belfair.axio.com/?p=4

This is not a problem with the “VANILLA” WP themes because they seem to always fully resolve the whole page as in the second example above. Other more elegant themes take a different approach when displaying a category in that they are truncated and a […] is put on the end as in my case.

I am using DIGG 3 Column from WPDESIGNER site….SO that is what I have found so far.

If anyone could point me to the right code to fix/patch that would be most appreciated.

will check..kind of hoping to keep excerpt but make sure it shows the rating stars correctly.

Hi! I’ll use the Theme Digg 3 Column, in an spanish blog (I hope my English is stiil good ), in Wordpress.com, until I get my server set up.
I find that there are a few spots where it seems not to be translated, there are:
In the header, Button Search and the link “Comments RSS”
The area of comments, everything is in English (”Leave a Replay”, “Submit Comment” button and “logged as”
Thanks a lot for the dessings!

Just want to say thanks for a great design . . .

From the ones available from wordpress, I’ve found yours the best that serves my purposes todate.

There are a few things I’d like to do with it, but I do know I’ll have to wait until it goes on a private server/host etc . . all in good time . . . $$$

One thing I’d like to do is widen the width of the right hand column from the standard size to something wider . . ? is that possible while it’s still on wordpress.com ??

Please check it out, and any feedback would be most welcomed. The header is just a temp one, as I have a “real” designer making something much much nicer . . I simply was playing around with a free logo generator and made this, I tried to match the green colour that you have used on the Tabs etc and throughout the site . . . . and this was as close as I could get on their colour choices.

I like the way I can play with it, and include various items, as for someone with NO html or coding background, this is heaven . . . Please don’t think your designs are average, they aren’t . . .

What are the differences in the wordpress.org Digg 3 compared to the Digg 3 wordpress.com by the way . . . ??

Cheers . . .

Thanks for the info, most appreciated

Yes, I agree about the header at the moment, have something else to go up today . . but have a good graphics friend making me a really good one - thankfully . . .

Do you have any ideas as to a them that would be variable width and that would suit, do you have one ?

The blog is getting support and a small following now, but it’s not enough yet to take it off wordpress.com . . well not for me anyway . . .

I’ve found Digg 3 one of the best and easiest to use from the wordpress themes . . . so keep up the great work . . .

would be really much better if you could make it adsense ready as well
thanks

Can you point me in the right direction…look at my Discussion Forums (right column link) …. I am running XDFORUMS. The graphic for next to the topics is a transparent gif and works fine in anything else I do but in DIGG-3 it seems to have a border or whitespace around. If I just put it in its own table or run in the standard WP theme…it works fine…so I’m thinking its somewhere in the theme or the CSS. Thoughts? Thanks…love the theme by the way.

very nice theme. I like it

I absolutely LOVE this theme, but I have a very strange problem — all of a sudden this post won’t let the links be ‘hot’.

What the heck is wrong? I had to put them in like text for now… links will work in all other places, it’s just too weird.

Hi there,

This is an excellent theme. We looked high and low and chose this one out of many. Thank you for all your hard work.

We are presently hosting WP on our own server (Windows) and things are working fine.

For some reason, the navigation tabs are not working properly. “Home” works okay, but “About” does not. Also the tabs do not automatically update with a new page.

We have a test site on wordpress.com: http://sigmaxi.wordpress.com/

If you look on the wordpress.com site, you will see that About and Contact work fine, and these represent the top pages.

Our site should also have these, but it doesn’t. The file is header.php. The code is in the “menu” div:

<a href=”/” title=”">
<a href=”" title=”">

In the wordpress.com site, the corresponding code (page source) is:

Home
About
Contact

So I am not sure exactly what’s going on. If you have any clues, that would be great, and much appreciated.

OK. It looks like the link has to be written into header.php manually then?

That’s no problem.

FYI, another theme I worked on called Field of Dreams automatically puts a tab on the header for each new page, and has options where you can select which page actually shows up on the tabbed navigation.

I figured it out — in preview mode the links don’t show but I will try this:

Jane - go to archive.php or category.php and change the_excerpt to the_content

In the yellow quotes, there is a nice tan ” but not at the end. OH well nothing is perfect, but this helped me get this site up fast…

Thank you SP - you’re a genius.

I love Digg 3 but am having a problem. If you visit my URL, you’ll see that the pages are listing on the left, but the pages are not appearing on the top. I’m using Wordpress.org and the pages on the top appear perfectly fine on my Wordpress.com blog (mylifemantra.wordpress.com)

Can you please help?

Thanks!

Great stuff you do. Thanks! I’m new to Wordpress - I’m transferring a blog from Yahoo 360 (I think “360″ has to do with the number of reasons it blows) and I discovered your great themes. They look great…one problem though…my older posts are abbreviated with the (…) symbol at the end, however, the dots are not linked to the rest of the post. I would expect a click on these dots would open the whole post, right? I haven’t meddled with your theme at all. Any ideas?

I’m going to play around with some of your other themes. Thanks.
