<?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.

These are both set up for use as a WordPress driven website for  a Corporation or Business but could be used for anything.  Various page templates let you have options when creating pages of information for your associates, employees and visitors.  For your staff you can post and make available things like policy manuals, insurance forms, requesitions, schedules and for clients you can have newsletters, product news, service announcements, order forms and more.    

The theme was created with Atristeer software and then tweaked to our liking. 

Check them both out on the new Corp Grey Theme Page and create yourself a website.  Wait…  You don’t know where to host and setup your new site?  Click here and we’ll set you up. 

Just a little glitch!

The latest version of the Artisteer software gives you a theme option to input footer data including links in your newly created WordPress theme.  The only problem is when you enter a URL like you’re suppose to with “quotes” around it, then you save it, it alters the code by inserting ” \ ” characters. 

Simple solution!! 

Just enter the URL with NO “quotes”.

<a href=”http://www.gdscomp.com”>GDScomp<a/>   WON’T WORK

<a href=http://www.gdscomp.com>GDScomp<a/>  Will Work Fine.

Problem solved!

Here is the solution.

Edit comments.php

around Line 123-125 you will find:

<ul class=”commentlist”>
<?php wp_list_comments(‘type=comment&callback=art_comment’); ?>
</ul>

after the line above insert the following right after:

<ul class=”commentlist”>
<?php wp_list_comments(‘type=pings&callback=art_comment’); ?>
</ul>

And now your Artisteer Template will work fine with Ping- and Trackbacks.

Post this code:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

After this:

<?php if (is_search()) the_excerpt(); else the_content(__('Read the
rest of this entry &raquo;', 'kubrick')); ?>

And Before this:

</div>
<div class="cleared"></div>
<?php ob_start(); ?>

Should end up looking similar to this:

</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="PostContent">
<?php if (is_search()) the_excerpt(); else the_content(__('Read the
rest of this entry &raquo;', 'kubrick')); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>   -- This is all we added  --
</div>
<div class="cleared"></div>
<?php ob_start(); ?>
<?php $icons = array(); ?>
<?php if (!is_page()) : ?>

Hope this helps out. Good luck!

DARK NIGHT 2

2 Column, Dark, Night Sky background, fixed width, widget ready…

This is another them I made using Artisteer. They recently released version 2.0 which gives you even more options and features to play with. I have made themes the other way before but using Artisteer gets you there much much faster. All in all the software is fantastic. As with any software you will discover little limitations and this is true with Artisteer, but, there are so many options that another alternative is always there! If you really want to develope your own themes for yourself, clients, or friends you really should check out Artisteer! We use it and I recommend it highly.
