LoseMyMind
LoseMyMind, A Simplified WordPress Theme.
(For more themes, please visit my portfolio...)
LoseMyMind Now Supports WordPress 2.3 Tags!
New!
WordPress 2.3 has an excellent native tag system, well, LoseMyMind now supports this amazing new feature!
FOR PRESENT USERS:
Please open "index.php", "single.php" and "archive.php" of LoseMyMind in any kind of text editor, then replace the lines:
<!-- need UTW -->
with this:
Then, the final step, save the changes and upload these files to overwrite the olds. Hooray! If you HAVE imported tags generated by any tag plugin (such as UTW) to the native tag system of WordPress 2.3, the tags bar of LoseMyMind now works under WordPress 2.3!
FOR NEW USERS:
Ready! Just download!
LoseMyMind 1.0
SCREENSHOT
On July 5th, I released this simplified WordPress theme. Its name is LoseMyMind which validates Strict XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1, and without any sidebars. One of the differences between it and other common WordPress themes is that there is an Open / Close link to expand or collapse the “bottom” part animatedly where some stuff hide themselves. You can set interval of this action and decide whether it will be shown at the top of the page or real bottom.
Today (July 12th), only one week after the release, I am very glad to announce that LoseMyMind has been downloaded over 1,300 times. Thank you very much!

LoseMyMind 1.0 with Sidebar
SCREENSHOT
If you are not satisfied with the single-column LoseMyMind, you have another choice now. I has brought you another edition of LoseMyMind which has a tranditional sidebar and supports WordPress Widgets.
Download LoseMyMind with Sidebar
Instructions:
The folder "ajaxcomment" in the zipped archive is NOT a part of this theme BUT a WordPress plugin that could make the comments template ajaxified.
To enable this exciting feature (which is not necessary), just follow the three steps below:
- Upload the whole folder "ajaxcomment" to /wp-content/plugins/.
- Copy the "comments.php" in folder "ajaxcomment" and replace the default comments template of LoseMyMind with it.
- Activate the Ajax Comments-Reply plugin. Enjoy!
FAQ:
Q: The template does not allow images or videos to be published onto the main page, but only in the post page. Is there any way of allowing images to be shown on the main page?
A: Just hack the code below in the index.php:
<?php if (is_single()) { ?>
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php } ?>
</div> <!-- .entry -->
Change them to:
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
</div> <!-- .entry -->
Q: How can I integrate my own Google Custom Search Engine instead of yours? Hacking the "cse.php" is no use.
- You may create your own Google Custom Search Engine first here: http://google.com/coop/cse/.
Once it is created, just go to its control panel and you will see all the code you need is on the Code page. Then, replace the code in cse.php. Enjoy!
Q: I would like to change the title "catch the digital flow", what should I do?
A: Just edit the text of image "header.psd" in "/losemymind-10-sb/images/" using Photoshop CS2 then save it as "header.png".
If you have any questions else, please feel free to tell me. Both comments and email are OK. My email is root at this domain.

好像有个问题： 文章的排版信息，在首页中不能正常显示，点进去以后才能正常显示，请问怎么解决！
北极冰仔 at 10:28 Jul 23, 2007 ₪
你是指无侧边栏的版本吗？首页默认是不显示的。
abcx at 00:37 Jul 24, 2007 ₪
是的，我指的是无侧栏的版本。
那怎样才能把它改成显示信息？ （我说的排版信息是指：换行、黑体这些）
另外，超喜欢这个主题，简明大方，很想一直用下去。 谢谢！！
北极冰仔 at 08:43 Jul 24, 2007 ₪
噢！明白了！恕我愚钝，这样做。打开index.php文件，修改第25到29行，把原来的
< ?php if (is_single() || is_home()) { ?>
< ?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
< ?php } else { ?>
< ?php the_excerpt(); ?>
< ?php } ?>
中的第25、27、28、29行删掉只留下第26行就可以啦。

哈哈，好了。 太棒了！ 这样一来这个主题就完美了。 谢谢你，你是好人！ ^_^

Sure. Please read and follow the instruction of the first FAQ. Once this is done, you may use a html tag “more” to say [Read More].

你好，我在网上发现了了你的这款主题，很喜欢它的简约
我下载并且使用了它。在我试图修改search功能为普通的搜索时，我犯难了。你的主题提供的是Google Custom Search Engine ，不知道你能不能写两个页面：search.php & searchform.php。
我自己尝试了，但失败了，结果是这样的：能够搜索出正确的内容，但页面布局出现了混乱，sidebar跑到了中下部分，搜索的结果也超出了页面框架，这使得整个页面显得很不美观。
如果你有时间的话，也许可以更改你主题的search为普通的那种？或者给出一些建议？
非常感谢。
北极冰仔 at 17:07 Sep 06, 2007 ₪
首先感谢你使用我的主题。
我给你的建议是申请自己的 Google Custom Search Engine 然后把 cse.php 文件中的代码替换掉。自己编写的搜索功能远不及 CSE 。

好吧…
我把这个主题推荐给了我的老师，她正打算搭建自己的博客。
那我也去申请google的engine,再次感谢你的回复！

Did you install any wp plugin which may create wp_Counterize_Referers table in database? I think that plugin has a feature like showing referring message. Find and deactivate it.

THANKS your theme is great!
北极冰仔 at 21:44 Sep 18, 2007 ₪
The Bar of “Tags” is supported by the plugin “Ultimate Tags Warrior”. If you do not wanna keep it, just search “class=”entry-tags”” and delete these lines in “index.php”, “single.php” and “archive.php”.

我在用losemymind with siderbar 这套模版的时候，启用UTW的后，为什么没添加一个tag的时候就自动生成一个“？？”，很奇怪，删也删不掉。有什么办法解决吗？还有为什么不能显示中文啊？
北极冰仔 at 11:04 Sep 22, 2007 ₪
@happyroc 支持中文显示的。你是否设置了 WP 使用的编码？将其改为 UTF-8 试试。
happyroc at 12:53 Sep 22, 2007 ₪
可还是那个问题啊，每添加一个tag的时候，就自动添加一个“？？”，只能从tags管理中删除，每写一个都会添加。而且WP的编码都是 UTF-8
北极冰仔 at 12:56 Sep 22, 2007 ₪
这个问号显示在哪里？我去了你的网站没看到 tag，已经禁用了 UTW 吗？

北极冰仔 at 09:09 Sep 24, 2007 ₪
Hi Luka, just try to reinstall the theme then press CTRL + F5 to force the browser to reload pages, or you have to clear the cache of WordPress.

是啊 我已经禁用了 是出现在 文章下方 tag 栏中的 比如 我添加一个 ideal的tag 在tag栏就会如下显示 ??,ideal ??可以删掉 但是下一次再添加tag的时候 就又会显示出来
北极冰仔 at 13:24 Sep 24, 2007 ₪
不是很清楚这个问题是什么原因，之前从来没有遇到过，并且也没听其他人讲过。
Luka at 17:55 Sep 24, 2007 ₪
Fixed, tnx. But I have another problem: if you press “refresh” button in FireFox, the search bullet is dancing from right to left. If you refresh page by pressing “home” or “link” the bullet remains on the right (as intended). ?
北极冰仔 at 18:06 Sep 24, 2007 ₪
No. It has something to do with cache of firefox. When you press “refresh” button of browser, the pages will be loaded newly. But by clicking the “home” link, browser will just read its cache to accelerate the display procedure.

Also, any idea how I can make the header logo link back to the homepage?
Many thanks

Hi, anyone has any tags working? Mine are not visible in the post section. I use WP 2.3 and read earlier in the thread that this should work. How?
北极冰仔 at 09:46 Nov 08, 2007 ₪
Simon » 1) Just use <!--more--> to say “read more”. 2) It is a bit difficult to make the backgrounded header logo link back to home, but you can put another logo (not be set as background) upon it then give it a link.
Masse » You have to modify a little code to make LoseMyMind to adjust to WordPress 2.3 tag system.
Before:
<p class="entry-tags">Tags: <?php if (function_exists(UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost)) UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("commalist"); ?></p>
After:
<p class="entry-tags"><?php the_tags('<strong>Tags:</strong> ', ',', '<br />'); ?></p>
If this is done, tags will work fine.
Simon Young at 11:06 Nov 14, 2007 ₪
Many thanks for your help with [read more] … just one more question. Is there a way of making sure every post has “read more” at the end of it?
北极冰仔 at 12:17 Nov 14, 2007 ₪
Simon Young » To add a “read more” link to the end of every post, you may try replacing <?php content(); ?> in index.php with <?php excerpt(); ?> to display a summary of post in the home page.

另外,采用雅黑字体很好,如果在没有雅黑字体的浏览器上使用时,能否自动选择相近的字体?
感谢您的工作和帮助!
北极冰仔 at 20:20 Nov 17, 2007 ₪
David » 汉字变乱码的解决方法：使用 UTF-8 编码另存。关于字体，该主题使用了下面的字体：”Microsoft JhengHei”, “Lucida Grande”, “Microsoft YaHei”, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; 当系统中缺少“正黑”、“雅黑”时，浏览器会自动调用默认的中文字体来显示。

Philip » Again my buddy, I’m sorry but it was really my mistake that I writed <?php the_time('M jS, 2007'); ?> instead of the correct <?php the_time('M jS, Y'); ?>. You can just edit all the .php files (especially index.php, single.php, page.php, archive.php etc) to see if there are any <?php the_time('M jS, 2007'); ?> then fix them.
Thanks very much for your carefulness!

Eric Nguyen at 04:26 Jan 18, 2008 ₪
First and foremost, thank you very much for this theme. Anyways, I have the same question as Sue Prince, how do you display the entire post on the home page? Also, whenver I use the tag, it truncates the post, but does not leave a link to say “read more”. I’m on WP 2.3.1. Also, is there anyway to modify the theme so that it is a variable resolution? I would like it to fill the entire, or almost the entire screen (automatically resizing for given resolutions).
Thanks,
Eric

EDIT for last comment
Original: “Also, whenver I use the tag, it . . .”
Edited: “Also, whenver I use the “” or more tag, it
北极冰仔 at 09:08 Jan 18, 2008 ₪
Eric » Hi buddy, your first question is the most asked question. Although I have answered to it many times, I’m afraid that I will be asked again and again.
Replace all <?php the_except(); ?> with <?php the_content('Read more'); ?> then use the <!--more--> tag to say “Read more”.
Second, modify the width definition in “style.css” from “px” to “%” to adjust to variable resolutions.
Eric Nguyen at 00:34 Jan 19, 2008 ₪
I’m sorry, I did not realize that you posted that solution earlier. Anyways, thanks for the help, but my first comment has gone unanswered. Now I know how to make my posts say “Read More,” but how do I just have it display the entire post, like Sue Prince asked a few comments above.
Thanks,
Eric
北极冰仔 at 09:10 Jan 19, 2008 ₪
Eric » Hi, “Replace all <?php the_except(); ?> with <?php the_content('Read more'); ?>” is the answer to your first question. Do NOT use the more tag to say “Read more”, you will see the entire post there.

Hi there, first of all, thanks for the great template! Exactly what I needed to start with.
I have done some changes to the theme and have two problems.
Please refer to my test blog for this template - http://www.wifeysabode.com/
1. The google search bar. I have changed the coding in to the CSE file so it searches within my site, instead of using the google search. My problem is, I would like to move it to a lower location, align with my blog header image(that i added), how do I do that? I tried motify the ” but it just won’t go to where I wanted.
2. I would like to move two nav tags that says ‘home’ and ‘about’ further down, to align with the bottom part of my header image. I’m not sure whether I did the right way, coz it doesn’t go on the same line as the search bar(where I want them). Which code should I change?
Thank you very much for the template, and help!! REally appreciate it.

Dear 北极冰仔,
I love your LoseMyMind theme, but it seems to have an incompatibility problem with Google Adsense.
One of my readers reported last night that he is unable to see the Google Adsense banner at the top of my Web site http://www.ChanttheRosary.com. This reader is running the Windows XP Home Edition operating system. He can see my Google ad clearly through FireFox 3.0.1 for Windows. However, when he views the site through Internet Explorer 7 for Windows, he sees only a blank white space where the ad should be.
This same user has no trouble seeing the Google ad on my other Web site http://www.poe.com, which uses the Cutline theme.
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem?
Best,
Richard Lawrence Poe
