Awkward saving for a new theme. Where do we park our theme images (header, etc)? #172

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. on custom saving theme : where is the theme directory, where do we park our 
theme images?
2.
3.

What version of the ... are you using?

1. Wordpress: 3.2.1
2. Constructor: 1.6.1

3. PHP: Good question... I run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and 
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu reports the PHP version to 
be 5.3.2 but I have no idea how to get into that control-panel less 
installation to check out the version of PHP. There must be a CLI command, but 
I have no idea.

I can access the Linux Shell with PUTTY over SSL, but I have no idea what 
command to issue to obtain the PHP version.  There must be one somewhere...

4. Browser: Firefox  5.0 portable (www.PortableApps.com)
5. OS: Win XP up to date

What URL of your blog(s)?

Please provide any additional information below.

I try to save my custom theme but it doesn't seem to save the new theme IN IT'S 
OWN DIRECTORY . I changed the attributes of to RWXRWXR_X all the way from the 
./constructor/themes/ upstream up to root, but it did not change a thing.

Upon saving attempt, it tells me it saves, but no subdirectory appears into the 
dir ./constructor/themes/.

I assumed such a new directory would appear, as I do not know where to put my 
headers and various images for that particular theme.

However, in the theme list at the first tab,  pictures for my newly saved 
themes appear.  

I've created a few, polluting the screen, and would like to delete them (I 
assumed I'd have do delete a new dir in ./constructor/themes/ but there are no 
such directories)

The new saved theme does seem to get updated though. 
I wonder where the new info gets saved.  in the database? As no new style.css 
seems to appear anywhere.

I have only a very sketchy knowledge of CSS, none of PHP, beginner's about 
HTML, and I've programmed a quite large database in 1994 using Paradox.  

Your theme , if working correctly, might have saved my life. Now, I'm 
semi-miserable again.
:-)

Another mini-glitch:
in the layout window, if I select the layout with the right sidebar (3rd 
choice), and I drag the lower boundary of the header, the boudary duplicates on 
the screen, leaving the old one in place, and creating a new one.  It seems 
that only that layout produces that effect, I could not duplicate the bug with 
the left-sidebar choice.
But this seems minor, as it seems to update correctly nevertheless and 
re-display OK if we go away from the Layout tab and come back again.
