Audacity of Tanish: A theme for WordPress

August 4th, 2009 by ravi

Ahren Code’s Audacity of Tanish is a WordPress Theme with a dark motif and some slick (IMHO!) jQuery action for post display and collapsing, etc. Click on the links to the left to download the theme (you can also install it from the WordPress site), view screenshots and a grainy video, or post feature or bugfix requests.

Features

Darker colours with bright text
JavaScript effects for showing hiding posts, post info and links, etc
Bottom bars: sidebars at the bottom (up to three)
Configurable background tile and image
Option to show Blog Authors in bottom bar
Author Gravatar in post
Comments block show/hide
… and a lot more

Please click on the Screenshots link above to get a preview of the theme.

License

This theme is released under the latest version of the GPL (currently v3), whichever that may be at the time of your use. For the GPL, see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html.You are free to use this theme for any purpose you choose, in a manner that conforms to the GPL. I would like you to leave the attribution at the bottom of the theme, but you are not required to do so.

Installation

Visit the WordPress site for detailed and authoritative instructions on installing themes. For the impatient: it is usually as simple as extracting the archive and copying the directory (“tanish”) into your WordPress installation directory under wp-contents/themes.

Notes

Versions of this theme lower than 1.0 (e.g: 0.9) are, as the number indicates, alpha releases. They have not been fully tested on all browsers (in particular IE7 and Chrome). Please be aware of this if you should choose to use this theme. I would love to hear from you if you find issues, so that I can fix them ASAP.

If you like this theme, or especially if you decide to use it, send me email or post a link to this site, leave a comment here, or some such, so I know it was useful! And if you really, really like it, how about rating it at Wordpress.org?

Hello, i downloaded this theme as an blogger theme from another site, i don’t know if you created it for blogger also… but, if you did, i need some support.. there is a big problem of displaying page elements in the edit layout options… the gadgets don’t show up so that they can be reordered or edited…

  Denis,
  
  this theme is intended for WordPress. I have no idea, in fact, how
  Blogger themes are structured. Can you point me to the site from which
  you downloaded the Blogger version of the theme?

    Hi ravi,
    
    Your Tanish theme is really cool. But because I use blogger blogs primarily for personal use, I was really happy when I saw this theme converted to blogger platform. Here is where I got the theme: http://wpbloggerthemes.blogspot.com/2009/08/audacity-of-tanish.html. I think Dennis got his theme from here too.
    
    You might want to add for your next release a navigation bar after the header so that it will be user-friendly for all site visitors… just a suggestion :)

      Shiroi, Thank you for the comment and the pointer to the Blogger theme converter. It seems to do a decent job of it!
      
      I am not sure what you mean by a navigation bar. Can you explain? Thank you.

  If you’re still looking for adding page elements, check out this site: http://bloggersentral.blogspot.com/2009/07/creating-navigation-tab-in-blogger.html. It discusses how to add an element to put a head navi bar on blogger blogs but the works is the same when you add gadgets for any “locked” elements.

Problem.

Installed using Wordpress 2.8.4.

When I click on Appearance and click on Tanish Options, this come up.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: scandir() in /home/content/g/l/e/glenn1barker/html/wp-content/themes/tanish/functions.php on line 214

Any ideas?

I think this is line 214 from the functions.php file: if( $options[$fldname] == $image )

$checked = “checked”;

Thanks,

Glenn

  Glenn,
  
  my guess is that you are running on a system that uses PHP4, and the
  function mentioned below (scandir()) is available only in PHP5. Are
  you capable of checking and letting me know? If so, I can give you
  custom changes that will work for you.

Yes, you are correct. I have it running on a php4x system. Please let me know what changes are needed.

Thank you,
Glenn

      Glenn, I am terribly sorry for the lack of response. I will ping you via email to see if you are still interested and if so, I will send you a fixed up PHP4 capable version tomorrow.

        Do you have the PHP4 capable version yet?
        
        Thanks,

        Glenn, would you mind if you give you the latest version of the theme (to be released in week or so) rather than the older version that’s on the WordPress theme site and which you are using? It’s easier for me to make the change in the current code than to go back and fork the old code.

Tarnish is very cool. It is unique from any other blog format that I have seen. I immediately installed it in my WordPress blog and I love the look. Thanks.
