Artisteer 2.4

It looks like Artisteer is getting ready to release version 2.4. After a couple of beta releases they feel that they are almost ready to release a stable version. The new version has many new features and enhancements like a vertical menu, more page layout options and some flash overlays for the header. We think Artisteer is a great product and if you want to create your own WordPress themes, Joomla templates, html templates and more, click the banner below and check it out.

Artisteer issue with Block Images

The latest version (as of today anyway) has a small error in the generated template.  An error in the css code.  The bullet icon for the list items doesn’t show up.  To fix it find the following styling rule in your style.css file.  You can do this in WordPress using the theme files editor.

.art-BlockContent-body ul li
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 125%;
line-height: 1.25em;
padding: 0px 0 0px 13px;
background-image: url(‘../images/BlockContentbullets.png’);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Change the image name from “BlockContentbullets.png” to “BlockContentBullets.png” (just change lowercase b in bullets to uppercase B) in the following line:

background-image: url(‘../images/BlockContentbullets.png’);

New Artisteer Version Page Issues

One thing  we found with the new Artisteer version 2.3  is that by default Pages allow comments.  You can disable allowing comments when you create your page but then you still get the “Comments are closed” notice at the bottom of the page.  What we do is create a new page template  by copying the “page.php” file and renaming it “page-comments.php” .  You have to add the following code to the top of the new page-comments.php file.

<?php  /*  Template Name: Page Comments  */  ?>

Then we edit the “page.php” file and remove the following line.

<?php comments_template(); ?>

So now your default page template has no comments at all, and if you want a page to have comments you just select your new page-comments template when creating your page.  We do this with many other themes also.  Not only Artisteer.

Artisteer 2.3 has been released

Artisteer has officially released their newest version 2.3 and with it comes quite a few improvements and changes.  It now supports designs for Google Blogger along with improved support for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and DotNetNuke.  It includes new glares, textures and icons to provide a bigger variety of little features that give your designs a unique look.  The only negative thing is that you can no longer save designs using the trial version so to fully use the product you need to buy it.  In our opinion it is still well worth the money and a good investment if you want to produce nice templates for yourself or others.  You can check out the release notes and see all it has to offer on the Artisteer News Page.
