Dopo TheBlackCity, TwoBeers si ripropone con Wallow.
Wallow Theme by TwoBeers Crew
Le caratteristiche di questo nuovo tema per WordPress sono:
- flexible width : avete uno schermo widescreen? il blog occuperà tutto lo spazio disponibile, senza bande vuote ai lati
- two columns : con due colonne a vostra disposizione potrete organizzare i vostri contenuti in modo chiaro e semplice
- widgets ready : esistono migliaia di widgets belli e utili. Perchè non usarli? Wallow li supporta
- theme options : un blog è personale, quindi deve anche essere personalizzabile. Ovvio!
- translation ready : Wallow è pronto per essere tradotto in altre lingue (oltre all’inglese e l’italiano)
- right sidebar : una barra laterale bella comoda è quel che ci vuole per i vostri contenuti extra
- WP requests met : conforme agli standard di WordPress
- Gravatars support : il vostro Gravatar vi segue ovunque
- “quickbar” navigation : con la “quickbar” di Wallow, navigare attraverso il blog non è mai stato così facile e veloce
- multiple styles : Wallow ha 4 varianti di stile predefinite, ma con il “theme mixer” il vostro blog sarà unico
Wallow nasce da un’idea del solito Jimo (uff, noioso con tutta questa creatività
), arricchita dal confronto con il solito V.I. (uff, noioso con tutta questa mancanza di iniziativa ) e si presenta come un multi-tema in 4 varianti predefinite (air, fire, earth, water) a cui è stata aggiunta la possibilità di combinare tra di loro i vari elementi andando a creare la combinazione che più ci si addice.
L’idea iniziale era quella di creare un nuovo singolo tema senza troppi fronzoli – tanto che è basato sul tema di default di WordPress – ma Jimo si è presentato con troppe varianti che non meritavano di essere scartate (2 inizialmente), al che è stato deciso di riunirle in un unico tema. I nomi dei primi 2 stili erano blu e fire, da lì è balenata l’idea di realizzare altre 2 varianti e interpretare a modo nostro i 4 elementi.
Garantire all’utilizzatore 4 diversi stili però non ci sembrava abbastanza 
, abbiamo quindi deciso di spezzare le varie parti del tema rendendole indipendenti:
- stile generale
- sidebar
- menù pagine
- menù a scomparsa
- quickbar
- avatar
dando la possibilità di associare uno stile ad ogni singola parte, secondo le preferenze dell’utente.
Uno dei due strumenti che caratterizzano il tema è infatti il “theme mixer“, ovvero un configuratore del tema (presente nella sezione admin->Aspetto->Opzioni tema) attraverso il quale è possibile modificare l’aspetto del blog. Una piccola finestra di preview permette inoltre di gustare un’anteprima delle diverse combinazioni.
Altro strumento che contraddistingue questo nuovo tema by TwoBeers, è la “quickbar“. Si tratta – come suggerisce il nome – di una barra fissa (in fondo alla finestra del browser) che racchiude alcune informazioni utili ed un menu a scomparsa con un sacco di links e scorciatoie per muoversi rapidamente all’interno del blog.
L’adozione dei MooTools garantisce animazioni leggere, semplici e gradevoli. Ovviamente il tema è stato sviluppato per essere usato anche senza supporto JavaScript ed è compatibile con tutti i maggiori browser, senza ricorrere a nessun hack. L’HTML e i CSS sono tutti risultati validi secondo gli standard internazionali W3C.
TwoBeers Crew is proud to present Wallow, a new theme for WordPress.
Theme features:
- Flexible width: fits to everithing, even widescreen! No more empty spaces on yours readers screens.
- Two columns: everithing find it’s own place with the two columns at your disposal
- Widgets ready: there are thousands of beautiful and useful widgets that Wallow can support. Why don’t you use them?
- Theme options: a blog is personal, so it must also be customizable. Obvious!
- Multiple styles: Wallow has 4 different styles, but with the “theme mixer” (*), your blog will be unique
- “Quickbar” (**), navigation: with Wallow’s “quickbar”, browse through the blog has never been easier and faster
- Translation ready: Wallow is ready to be translated into other languages (English and Italian are included)
- Right sidebar: a pretty comfortable sidebar is what you need for your extra content
- WP requests met: standards-compliant WordPress
- Support Gravatars: your gravatar follows you everywhere
(*) The “theme mixer” is a theme style configurator (you can find it in the admin section-> Appearance-> Theme Options), that can be used tochange the look of every part of your blog (main style, sidebar, pages menu, popup menu, quickbar and avatar). A small preview window allows you to enjoy the different combinations.
(**) The “quickbar” is a fixed bar, at the bottom of the browser window, that contains some useful information and a popup menu with lots of links and shortcuts to move quickly through the blog.

Wallow vi piace molto? Allora vi piaceranno anche gli wallpapers che abbiamo preparato per voi
P.S. ultimi ritocchi per sistemare alcuni bug segnalati dallo staff di WordPress e ci siamo!!!
Pazientate fiduciosi
Ovviamente nel frattempo è uscito WordPress 3.0 …
Questa nuova versione introduce un sacco di novità e apporta altrettante modifiche alle versioni precedenti.
Dobbiamo quindi verificare la compatibilità del tema col nuovo “motore”, sistemare i problemi e aggiungere le nuove funzioni che WP 3.0 mette a disposizione.
Ma non temete, siamo dei professionisti
e tra breve Wallow vedrà la luce!
professionista, definizione
giusto perchè mi sa che non hai chiaro il concetto
Hi there,
great theme! i will use it for a new website.
But, in IE8 there are some script-errors with the javascripts (also in kompatible-mode).
Perhaps you can fix that? Would be great!!!
Thx and greetz
Frank
hello Franky,
I tried to trap script errors in IE8 (even in compatibility mode), but I really didn’t find them. On my PC everything works fine without any bug. However, for safety I have already made some little changes to the js code. The new version will be available as soon as will be approved.
Thanks for your help and for using our theme
bye
Jimo
btw… is it possible, toviem the comment-form only on articles, not on pages?
bye
Frank
Hi Franky,
.
thanks for your compliments, this is our first work and we really appreciate them
To disable comment form in pages just disable comments in post-edit mode (uder discussions options you can check for enable/disable comments or trackbacks).
My friend Jimo will reply you soon about js errors.
Cheers
yes i know that i can do that. But the comment-form still appears. And in this case, on pages i dont wanna see the form
Seems i have to erase some code in comments.php?
bye
)
uh that’s strange, maybe a bug…
can you please post the link to the corrupted pages so I can have a look?
Hi friends,
solved!
Thx for great support!
Greetz
Frank
can you give me your email? The page isnt online yet and has ht-access-login.
Than i will send you the link with login data.
also solved!
Thx
Thx Frank!
For all those who have encountered the same problems with animations js, the issue is:
Some plugins use the framework jQuery which is in conflict with the MooTools (used in the theme)
The solution is to add the following code in the footer.php, just before <?php wp_footer(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
jQuery.noConflict();
/* ]]> */
</script>
Everything should work fine
Hi friends,
i want to put a slideshow on the frontpage.
You have any suggestions which is the best to use?
There are so many and i dont know whats the best……
cheers
Frank
i got now a very good slider. Called easing slider.
Works perfect with FF and Opera. But not on IE8. There are the pictures not shown.
When i use a standard theme, everything is ok and works.
Not so with WALLOW.
Do you have any idea, why IE7/8 is not showing any pictures? I have deactivated all plugins, but without success.
Perhaps a conflict with something in your theme?
Help would be great!
Thx, Frank
Hi Franky.
Another bug with javascript??? I’m getting crazy!! see my comment below
ps:great slideshow pluging

Hi.
Thanks for this great template: I just installed Wallow on http://www.cybernews.be.
Got a question, though: how can I add a menu item next to “Home” and “About us”? Like you did on this site with “Downloads, “Wallpapers” and “Shop”…?
Thanks a lot.
Phil
Hi Phil,
you can add items in menu by a tool introduced by WordPress team in their new version 3.0.
You obviously have to update you WordPress (if not yet) to version 3.0, then go to admin page -> themes -> menu
There you can build up your menu
Thanks for compliments and for using our theme
Bye!
Nice theme maybe i will use for my new website
jQuery does really hate MooTools
, so if you have problems with your plugins (using jQuery) try this:
-download this file Wallow – No Javascript Animation
-replace “header.php” in your theme folder with the file in zip
This will deactivate animations in menus and comments.
In next release – when we will be back from holidays
– we will fix this bug.
hmmm, i try this header.php, but without success. Same problem with IE8.
Seems i also need holidays…….

Hi,
I really love your WordPress theme, and before I install it I want to make sure it supports Cincopa’s Plugin
(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-rich-videos-and-photos-galleries/)
as this is the solution I’m going to use to manage my Media.
Thanks,
Carlos
Hi,
First of all, I really like your Theme!
But I have a question about it. Is it possible to remove the menu at the bottom?
It looks fine, but I don’t need it
Thanks,
Jarrin
Hi Jarrin,
thanks for your suggestion. We had already thought about this option, so we will introduce it in the next release.
Bye
Will you be making this compatible with BuddyPress in the future?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
Thanks!
Hi Moi,
). Maybe in future…
I really don’t know how BuddyPress works (and not sure what it is
Bye
oups.. wrong code. Again:
Hi friends,
another small problem.
Can you tell me please, where the is coming from? Its not from the plugin.
<!-- wp-jquery-lightbox, a WordPress plugin by ulfben --><strong></strong><script
This code is producing a validation error and i have no idea, where it comes from.
Thx, Frank
I don’t think it comes from our theme, but everything is possible. Be patient and we’ll try to discover it
Hi
I have a question.. I want to reduce the height of the image head.png .
I want to make it 50 px. I changed the size of the image and uploaded again but its taking 77px.
And also can i change the footer height?
I could not find its height anywhere I can change..
Thanks
J
got it…it was pages_fire.css
There are so many .css files… Good search!
Bye
First, thank you ever so much for such creativity and design. I was so very happy to find this wonderful theme.
Next, I wonder if there is a way to port that bottom bar over to other themes? I’ve been looking at the code, and almost got it working except that it remained at the top of the screen, and I could never get the images to apply properly.
Do you have any suggestions which may help to port that bar over to other themes? (It would actually be great to have it as an extension.
Thank you again for all your hard work!!!
Hi Friends,
suggestion for the next release:
Please highlight the current page in the navigation menu, who the user actually is.
Looks better
thx, Frank
