wordpress-bw-theme

Wordpress-bw-theme is a project mainly written in PHP and JAVASCRIPT, based on the GPL-2.0, GPL-2.0 licenses found.

The WordPress theme backing the Web site of Blue & White, a UNC monthly. Very much a work in progress.

A custom theme I developed for Blue & White http://www.unc.edu/bw/, a monthly magazine at UNC, with some custom features designed specifically for its usage.
Code based on WordPress 3.0's default theme, Twenty Ten. Appearance, less so.

Uses Jan Sorgalla's jCarousel http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/.

Special features:

  • Page templates for issue archives and individual issues.
  • Feature photos for pages (684 by 150 pixels), using WordPress post thumbnails. These photos can also be displayed in a front page "featured content" carousel, configured through the theme options.
  • Spot colors that change the basis color of the theme on a per-page basis, using a #rrggbb hex triplet in a custom field named "spotcolor". If no spot color is configured for a specific page, it looks for one in its ancestors, and then falls back to a default specified in the theme options.
  • Author names can be overridden by using a custom field named "author"; the special value "@none" disables bylines on pages.
