Hi! Thanks for this great theme! We use on our non-profit organization site, because it so clear and fast.

Just one question: possible to implement logo option?

Best regards: Janos Maczko Ter Kep Egyesulet Miskolc, Hungary

Hello Janos,

Glad to hear that you like it :)

And yes, I will add the logo option in the next release of Plainscape. Thanks for the feedback!

Got a problem. The theme was working great. Until I installed a bunch of mods. I don't know if a mod is the cause of the error, but it could be.

Any, I get an error on the Forum when viewing a single thread or post.

Here is the code error:

user warning: Unknown column 'n.nid' in 'field list' query: SELECT DISTINCT(n.nid), title FROM node WHERE type = 'forum' AND status = 1 AND created < 1247887371 ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/content/g/d/c/gdc25/html/community/sites/all/themes/plainscape/template.php on line 231. user warning: Unknown column 'n.nid' in 'field list' query: SELECT DISTINCT(n.nid), title FROM node WHERE type = 'forum' AND status = 1 AND created > 1247887371 ORDER BY created ASC LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/content/g/d/c/gdc25/html/community/sites/all/themes/plainscape/template.php on line 253.

Any ideas? Can I just comment out the code that is causing errors?

Hi,

Try replacing template.php with the one in this issue. I'll release a new version of the theme soon.

Great template! How do I add my own background image instead of the white background?

Hi,

You need to enable the custom CSS file. Please see css/custom-sample.css for instructions.

Put your background image in the images directory and add this code into your custom CSS file:

body {
    background-image: url(../images/my_background.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: #1A1B1F;
}

Of course, please adjust the code to suit your style :)

Hi, nice clean theme. Is there a way to disable the automatic conversion of titles to upper-case?

Hi Larry,

Just edit the style.css and find this block:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Sans-Serif;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

and remove/comment out the line with text-transform property.

Hi Kong, thanks! I just found the text-transform property in style.css, and was going to say never mind. I added an over-ride in custom.css. Nice job on this theme. Thanks for the help.
