I was curious about some of the exported programming, more specifically on line 14 of functions.php
where $shortname = "artisteer";

If I wanted to change that short name would that break the template?

Hi reelstuff

I took a look at functions.php. but I didn't find the ( shortname ) you talked about !

Do you mean that you want to your name to appear instead of ( Artisteer ) as a designer of the theme ?
If that you're asking about you can do that in ( style css document )

Excuse me if itsn't what you're looking for !!

No not at all, thank you for taking time to respond, that does help at least in part, and thanks,

I will take a look at that, I noticed that when running the artisteer software that sometimes the export settings, do not print out to the theme,

But in functions.php

starting on line 13, for reference,

there is an array, which appears to be localized, in other words I think I can change that value in the array and hopefully there will be no ill effect on the theme. may have to test that out.

So the array value is defined by using the $ character, then = value So changing that value should be possible just wondering if anyone had that experience.

$themename = "blue_bubble"; $shortname = "artisteer"; $default_footer_content = "<a href='#'>Contact Us</a> | <a href='#'>Terms of Use</a> | <a href='#'>Trademarks</a> | <a href='#'>Privacy Statement</a><br/>Copyright &copy; 2009 ".get_bloginfo('name').". All Rights Reserved."; $options = array (                 array(  "name" => "HTML",                         "desc" => sprintf(__('<strong>XHTML:</strong> You can use these tags: <code>%s</code>', 'kubrick'), 'a, abbr, acronym, em, b, i, strike, strong, span'),                         "id" => "art_footer_content",                         "std" => $default_footer_content,                         "type" => "textarea")           );

Hi reelstuff, I have tried changing it but it looks like evertime I change it I get a problem with lines 511 or 515 in the functions.php and everything breaks :-(

So I am sure you can change it but you need to do other stuff too...

As far as I can tell it won't affect anything now. It may in the future. The $shortname is a variable used in the footer admin options panel.

I've created several themes where I use the shortname in variables I use elsewhere in the theme.

I have a short tutorial on creating additional options in the standard footer options panel. It's great for adding ad code. You can change the ad code without editing the theme files.

The variable $shortname = "artisteer"; is not permanent a back link etc. to Artisteer, it is just used to insert default Artisteer text in footer, once you changed it to your own text(links etc.) It'll start working for your footer text
