Update 2/3/08: The links below are broken. There’s a new version of the Garland theme available here!
Attention all Garland-wanters! The Wordpress.com adaptation of the Garland theme is now available for stand-alone Wordpress 2.2 installations.
I know a lot of people have been disappointed after actually downloading the raw SVN-exported version from my previous post, and I finally took the time to check into what was wrong. Surprisingly, it didn’t really take long at all to get things working once I had a few minutes of solid thinking-time.
I have tested this theme and verified it to be fully working on my local test installation of Wordpress 2.2, YMMV. If you notice any oddities, feel free to let me know. I can’t promise I’ll actually fix them, but I’ll at least read them…
Changes
- Fixed broken and missing Javascript includes that are required by the color-picker in the admin panel.
- Corrected several URLs to images and stylesheets that had been hard-coded using relative paths so that they now correctly retrieve the stylesheet directory’s URI.
- Added my lovely info to the credits. :)
Once again, I’ve tested these changes enough to release them, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work under every configuration. There’s really nothing terribly odd about this setup, but you never know…
DownloadYou can download the zip file here: garland-1.1.zip garland-1.1.2.zip
2.2 Only!Please note that this theme requires the newly-released Wordpress 2.2, as it relies upon the jQuery Javascript library which was not included in prior versions.
If, however, you wish to place a copy of jquery.js in your wp-content/themes/garland/ directory, you should simply be able to un-comment line 39 in functions.php. I haven’t, however, tested this at all… Please let me know how it goes if you try.
[…] UPDATE: This post has been superseded by Garland for Wordpress 2.2! […]
Hi there. Garland for WP is fantastic but I seem to have this bug on any post that has comments.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: avatar_by_id() in /home/flashcub/public_html/wp-content/themes/garland/comments.php on line 30
I deleted line 30 from comments.php and it seems to work now
Eric: Thanks for the tip! I’ve eliminated that call for the Wordpress.com avatars and uploaded a new version.
Let me know if you spot anything else.
This is a beautiful thing… thx heaps… now for the detail.
Needs a “page template” option enabled in admin.
needs coding for sub pages to show under parent pages…
A big ask, but heh, perhaps you can become infamous with your ongoing support to this… seems as if the Drupal crowd gave up, and left it in its “vanilla” 1st release… and no one at WP.com are wanting to take it further… probably because of the “controversy” in its early days… but heh… I think your doing great… and with a few more improvements… it will take place amongst whatever other 3 column themes are available… I have no idea about coding… hard enough just administrating 3 sites as is… but whatever its worth, why not keep Garland alive and up-to-date…
Now loaded onto my WP 2.2.1 with help from a few clever widgets…
Heh Chris, you’ve been “Stumbled Upon”. Hope you don’t mind? ;-)
It’s me again… heh Chris, could you point me in the right place with the style.css for Garland, specifically locate for “block quotes” format… the code is written quite differently to what I’m familiar with, and I’d like to make some slight changes to the “block quotes”. Apart from that, I’m pleased with this, and am using it. Thx mate! Hope you can find the time to reply?

Hey David,
Sorry it took a while to get back to you, but it’s been one of those months at work…
In case you haven’t already found it, there is nothing defining a style for blockquotes in style.css. They’re indented based on the browser’s default interpretation of them, and display with the regular style applied to the body tag. Just tack on:
blockquote {<styles here>
}
Anywhere in your style.css file and you should be good to go.
Thx for the reply… I ended “figuring” this out, with some experimenting… I cut and pasted a “blockquote” syntax from another of my favoured themes, into the Garland css, and it is fine now… just changed the colour to suit… take care…
Thanks for the info, I will look into this immediately.

I’ve tested on the latest copy of trunk and on WP 2.3.2, but please let me know if you run into any problems.
