Hi there! Nice Habari theme! I like the comment bubbles. The color scheme appeals to me.

Can I ask that you include a license file with your theme? Habari uses ASL, which is a great license, but you're free to choose whatever you like. If you do pick ASL, you might also consider including your theme in the habari-extras repository. Ask the mailing list (or email me directly) if you need more info.

Thanks Owen.

I didn't include the license file in my theme distribution file. But I have edited this post which mean it licensed under APL and it would be great if my theme is available in repository.

Awesome theme. Great work.

I've got two suggestions for enhancement:

1. it would be great if the page title reflected the tag name when viewing all posts with that tag (ie viewing /tag/habari should update

Hi Colin.

Thanks for your suggestion, sure it's great. I will make improvement for title then.

BTW I've got only one suggestion, which is the second one?

Ooops, I think the comment got stuck when I included some html code (for the title) in my previous post.

The second suggestion was to have the content centered in the middle of the browser window like this site does. At the moment it sticks to the left.

I see, probably a buggy comment on my site theme.

Since the body background is left oriented, so I just make it stick to left. But sometimes I'm thinking "it would be better if I can centered it". Let see if I can get it to be a centered content.

Thanks again for suggestion,

I have a small issue. I have activated all the necessary plugins, but the latest posts and tag cloud do not show up on the front page. They only are visible when viewing individual posts are pages. Is there something wrong? The blog is at http://iambot.net

Actually it was "Previously Posts" not "Latest Posts" and it only show up when displaying single entry, page and archives. Also same case for Tag Cloud, it's only available when the page is not "Home".

At "Home" the Previously Posts only show up when you have posts more than "Options > Item per Page" which is relative depending on current page number. For example when you are displaying Page 1, you get 5 posts (1 - 5) as content, then Previously Posts should be displaying next 5 posts (6 - 10) and so on.

Love the theme! Makes a very nice contribution to the growing theme count for Habari. Why not add it to http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Available_Themes ? I would say it makes your top5 if you do ;)

i'm nearly ready to go online but i've found an issue even on your live demo...
if one looks at the archives and clicks on a month (e.g. november to see all posts in that month) and not on an individual post the template only puts out the and and not a complete page...

I'm sorry I have missed the multiple posts file in template file hierarchy, please download the new version to fix it.

Hi Amar,

Sorry for late response, I'm kinda busy lately.

To add those stuffs just install some plugins, e.g for About you can you colophon plugin (http://www.habariproject.org/dist/plugins/colophon.zip), Flickr and Twitter plugin also can you grab at http://www.habariproject.org/dist/plugins/, for addition you may take a look http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Available_Plugins.

Just make sure the plugin is compatible with your installed Habari.

Good luck and enjoy,

Hi Srinath,

But that was Habari bugs and theme has nothing to do with dashboard. You should report or ask it to Habari Development team.

Hi firmanw,

Like the theme. Planning to use it on my blog. But I see a tiny problem with it. There's no link to the login page. Also, how do you add tabs for external links at the top?

Thanks,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,

I'm apologized for late response. You can find the login link at the right column. Or you can shoot at the address bar http://example/admin

For tabs, it's automatically appears when you add a page. It's just simply a title of page and it has linked to it.

Like the theme, but has some bugs - looks like it needs to be updated for 0.6.2. Edit this post shows up even if you are not logged in. In my posts, if I hit enter (doulbe space), they correctly show up in other themes. In this theme, I am having to have to keep typing BR tags in html to show doulbe space. Maybe they are not \r\n friendly?

thanks!

Hi Anil, thank you for using my theme.

Yes, unfortunately this version has been stopped and not compatible with Habari 0.6.2.

I'm working on version 2 which should be compatible with newest Habari, I will release once it done as soon as possible. I apologized this theme has messed at this moment.
