My Ferrari based Wordpress Template that is, I do not have a real Ferrari, theme in Development, basic site styled with Artisteer.

Then added many features, this one is a sports or 'Ferrari fanzine' template not for a client just to learn, it started as a simple three colum theme, it finished.

Three sidebars
Home page with 12 content areas
Header has a custom logo div
Header has editable text area div
Header has editable Adsense
Menu bar has in-built search
Categories Menu
Built in code for 'Dynamic Content Gallery'
Dynanic Footer with 0 - 4 content areas

It is about two days work and i am only starting to tinker with the engine.

Hi Justin,
I will be creating some tutorials on all the functions, I am still doing the testing and tidy up to make all functions portable.

I am learning WordPress themes but come from another development environment, so I want to be able to offer the code as modules that most people could add not just for experienced coders, and allow people to add them in any theme with minimal changes to Artisteer code.

An example would be changing the style.css, I create a file custom.css, and call this in the header.php then any changes go in this file which takes priority at runtime.

Example custom.css file.


body

{

	background-color: #202020;

}



#art-page-background-simple-gradient

{

	background-image: none;

}



.art-Sheet

{

	margin-top: 10px !important;

}

Without changing the Artisteer style.css or exporting another theme, I have changed the background color, switched off the gradient and adjusted the top margin.

The only change to Artisteer code is in the header.php after the style lines.

<!--- add custom css in this file -->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/custom.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Anyway when I write the tutorials they will be on a best practice basis, with minimal changes to the Artisteer code.

Check back at the weekend I should have something ready by then
