New theme for 3.next -- Twenty Eleven

Description (last modified by lancewillett)

It's been a few years since we did this (#9015) but let's track the effort for the Twenty Eleven theme, hopefully making 3.2, here.

Main goals besides what we've already done in Twenty Ten:

  • To be different from Twenty Ten, aesthetically.
  • Is a good showcase of WP's headline features.
  • Clean, fast to load, and with best-practice markup.

Nice to have, but optional, improvements:

  • Ability to have random rotating headers. (Core improvement to custom header functionality, see #17240.)
  • Color and layout options.
  • More post formats. (Currently supports Asides, Links, and Galleries.)
  • CMS-style slider home page option.

Some people will prefer the design of Twenty Ten, which is still excellent, over Twenty Eleven, but that's okay. We'll have something new next year.

17198.showcase.2.diff adds full loop functionality back to the $featured query since we can't rely on sticky posts being available (may be trashed) and ensures all loop actions are fired correctly, while avoiding invoking it at all when no stickies are set.

Also makes better use of $feature_class and uses the native current post counter in the $recent query.

#24 @ocean90

iandstewart, 3.2 wil drop IE6 support, I think 2011 should drop it too.

#25 @azaozz
13 years ago

3.2 is marked as EOL for IE6 (for the admin), however themes (front end) should still support it so they have best compatibility. There are still people that are stuck in IE6. For them the admin would have limited functionality but the front end site should work.

#31 @markmcwilliams

I was hoping the above patch would solve the /twentyeleven/ directory being included in any updates used from within your dashboard, if you used say the WordPress Beta Tester plugin. Turns out I already had the theme there, after I uploaded it myself. But I'm finding that /twentyeleven/ isn't included when I went from 3.1.1 to 3.2-bleeding, so I can't try it out online!

Cool, thanks. Obviously a little more work needed than adding a line of code? ;)

#34 follow-ups: @dd32
13 years ago

Adding that line should've done it. However, it should be fine as '3.2', and it also needs to be set in the file -during- the 3.1.x -> 3.2 update, ie. within the update zip. There may be other things at play here though, so I'll check it during testing.

  • Cleanup functions.php, adding comments and function_exists() checks following Twenty Ten's example
  • Theme option for choosing an alternate (dark) color scheme. It currently only loads a placeholder CSS file with dark styles to follow.
  • Theme option for selecting a link color that loads an internal style block for resetting link colors. An updated style.css will follow to take advantage of this.
  • Theme options for selecting an alternate layout. Adds a class to the body element. An updated style.css will follow to take advantage of this.

#48 follow-up: @greenshady
13 years ago

Can we set a default case for the switch statement in the twentyeleven_comment() function? It would be as simple as moving the first check down to the bottom and changing the case to:

default :

Currently, this function handles the comment, trackback, and pingback comment types. All other comment types are skipped. By default, WordPress core functionality handles custom comment types just fine.

This is also an issue in the TwentyTen theme and now many, many themes being submitted to the theme repository because so many theme authors just copy/paste code from the default WordPress theme.

(In [17733]) Rewrite of Twenty Eleven theme-options.php. Including:

  • Full inline documentation.
  • Enqueue scripts/styles on admin_enqueue_scripts and use hook_suffix rather than GET[page]
  • Add filters to twentyeleven_color_schemes(), twentyeleven_layouts(), which necessitates adding a thumbnail URL value here, rather than generating them in the form.
  • Add a twentyeleven_default_theme_options filter.
  • Remove manual check for REQUEST[settings-updated], instead using settings_errors(), since we're using options.php.
  • Abstract out the default link color, rather than hardcoding it in certain places.
  • Use checked().
  • Rename some variables and functions for clarity.
  • Remove unnecessary functions twentyeleven_current_layout() and twentyeleven_current_color_scheme(), as we already have twentyeleven_get_theme_options().
  • Add a twentyeleven_color_schemes action to allow for enqueueing custom color schemes.
  • Add a twentyeleven_layout_classes filter, to allow filtering what gets sent back to body_class().
  • Hook into wp_enqueue_scripts rather than wp_print_styles for enqueueing the color stylesheet.
  • Rewrite the register_setting() callback to start from scratch with an empty array. Improve the link_color logic.
  • Use submit_button().
  • Use esc_attr() rather than esc_attr_e() for non-translations.

TODO:

  • Implement settings sections/fields logic to allow extension of the options page.
  • Consider re-doing this in a class. It'll be cleaner.
  • Store a DB version so we can do an add_option(), rather than calling get_option() with defaults.

#58 @nacin

(In [17734]) Twenty Eleven:

I'd be interested to see a patch. I've seen that behavior before, but it's not what we do elsewhere in core, and I don't think it would be sufficiently high-contrast per accessibility standards. To be honest I found it annoying and tough to read even when using light colors with the black text.

(Idea of how I'd do it on the input element is in "farbtastic-color-input.diff" patch — purely as an example.)

Good points, Nacin. Looking at Background color chooser and Header text color chooser it makes sense to match the same UI and interaction. That means we'll need to use a button instead of text link for the "Select a color" action.

Talking it over with Ian, he likes the swatch, too. But suggests we make it a link so it would also open the color selector.

#36 @dougwrites

  • Cc heymrpro@… added

Small but vexing question: the Theme Options Admin Screen in Twenty Eleven has only two generic links in the contextual help tab... Does the theme-options file in the theme folder in wp-content call something in wp-admin that could be fixed to apply to all themes that have theme options? (Like Background and Header do) I think it would be easier, but less optimal to add help tab content in the Twenty Eleven file itself.

And, yes, this screen provides highly obvious options, but we could say it changes colors and layout and then come up with a few nuggets/links for people who wanted to make more such changes, go under the hood, use the theme editor, modify some CSS, create a child theme...

Support for alternate layouts is not complite, missing some layouts:

Twenty Eleven has a single sidebar, so the layouts you mentioned aren't applicable.

Twenty Eleven: Post Format headings and CSS cleanup; See #17198 props matveb

Hi @iandstewart! I'm not sure how to submit a patch.. So, I'll comment here. Please make the post format headings ready for i18n. Example:

<h2 class="entry-format"><?php _e( 'Aside', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h2>

Thanks!

This is more of a design preference. Is there an option to keep the sidebar active on single.php instead of having it no longer there? I've never been crazy about the look of the default one-column width/centering in Twenty Ten and it seems to be carrying over to Twenty Eleven. I'd suggest just keeping the widgets on single.php by default.

When header text is disabled, the search is over the navigation, doesn't look good: http://d.pr/z0c1

There isn't an option on posts for including a sidebar in Twenty Eleven but there is an optional custom page template for pages that includes a sidebar.

Can do and will do. Thanks for noticing they were missing.

So I guess that's pretty definitive to leave off widgets on single.php? While aesthetically pleasing I think it may be too brazen for most WordPress users to suddenly lose one of the most crucial WP content areas on post pages. It's easy enough for me to put it back in as a developer but I think it will be a turnoff to regular bloggers if there's no easy/non-code option to choose whether to display widgets on posts. So much important stuff happens in widgets (ads, widget context, secondary navigations etc.). I think widgets are just as important on post pages as anywhere else (actually I'd argue they can be even more important on post pages for some cases). Just some food for thought. I love the theme and will use it and just put the sidebar back in for my child themes. But I'm just making this suggestion to save me, other developers and bloggers a little time as I can't think of any theme I'd make for a client that wouldn't utilize a sidebar on post pages. If the majority agrees with me I'm happy to adjust the single.php template and modify the CSS and contribute that in the appropriate place :-)

Twenty Eleven, like Twenty Ten, has footer widget areas that appear above the footer on every page, post. Essential widgets could live there if they always need to appear.

I'm taking a more design practical approach. If you're selling ads on your blog, putting them in the footer is just not going to cut it. I really feel pulling the sidebar from the single.php is going to be a deal-breaker for non-developer bloggers. If there's a good rationale for taking it out by default I'm all ears.

There's also been a discussion to change "Theme Options" to "Colors & Layout".

Not a future-proof idea. What would you call it if more options were to be added in the future?

"Theme Options" is the standard label, and it's what core calls them (see "edit_theme_options" capability, for example.)

Part of the rationale for it was to put the content and comments on prime focus, while also allowing for layout flexibility when creating said content: see http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com/a-parent-page/

Added #17359 for allowing tags for features introduced to Twenty Ten (and still enabled in Twenty Eleven).

I see. I hadn't tried out those types of blockquotes and images. It is quite elegant. I think allowing users to have a choice of template in the admin for single.php may still be the best bet. I already use a plugin for this so I guess I'll just have to bundle that with sites I deliver for clients.

  • Only show "featured-posts" area if there are published sticky posts.
  • If there is only one sticky, hide the slider and just display the single featured post.

Most if not all Settings in core are handled with *option* functions. A number of plugins provide links to their Settings. Just looking for consistency.

By the way, the post time is hidden in Twenty Eleven (it was displayed via the title attribute in Twenty Ten). Is it intended?
