Textpattern 4.0.7 is due out any time now and it is a truly massive release.

The parser has been completely overhauled and will now allow “tag-within-tags” without the need for a plug-in as well as allowing nesting of a wrapping tag within itself.

There are new tags such as <txp:modified />, <txp:expires />, <txp:variable /> and <txp:if_variable>. That’s just a short-list.

The combination of the new parser and the <txp:variable /> tags gives Textpattern a flexibility which I think is pretty much unmatched elsewhere.

To celebrate the release I shall be offering a new theme that makes use of this expanded flexibility and gives you some ideas on how to use it plus I shall have an updated version of the “A Bit Blue” admin theme that takes account of the changes made to the back-end.

Watch this space.

Although I’m not expecting to see as many of these as front-end themes the idea of having them here is that, at the very least, they can all be in one place rather than dotted around the planet as they currently are.

Anyway, If you have an admin theme you can contact me by email and I will get it uploaded for you.

I’ve recently had a bit of a web holiday so thebombsite.com has been off-line. I and it are now back so my ported templates have their demos back. I have also modified my site so that any downloads over there are pulled from here and I have added download totals from thebombsite.com to those that you can see on this site. This should give a truer reflection of popularity and all I have to do now is sort out what is happening on the TXP Resources site.

I have many ports over at thebombsite.com that aren’t shown here so I hope to slowly move stuff across as I get the demos sorted out. I shall also look for some new templates as there is a distinct lack of them since the competition finished!

You can use the options on the left to browse all the themes here in a variety of ways. If you hadn’t noticed already we also have the odd design competition going on too.

Before I continue, I would like to thank anyone who was a part of this competition: the sponsors who made things worthwhile, the amazing judges who volunteered, and everyone who contributed in any way.

The Winners:

  1. Serene by Vladimir Agafonkin
  2. White and Wild by Rob Sable
  3. Catashelf by Thomas Arie Setiawan
  4. Edelweiss by Birgit Zimmermann
  5. Juanes by Darice de Cuba and Jasper van den Ham

Their prizes are (in order):

  1. 30GB iPod from Siteground
  2. A Hosting Package from Glyph Solutions
  3. 2 Icon or Vector Illustration Collections from IconBuffet
  4. Color Schemer Studio from ColorSchemer
  5. Two-seat StyleMaster license from WestCiv

Also, the winner of the host’s prize (a Mint license) was also a difficult decision. There were so many beautiful templates still left without prizes including Text My Pattern , Big Pencil , Profilo , Giftwrap and more. In the end, I chose Widescreen by James Muspratt for building a gorgeous and functional template.

Congratulations to all the winners and everyone else involved for a wonderfully successful competition.

TextGarden.org is ready for you. Listing by top downloads is now available. Search will work it’s way into the site, but that feature isn’t necessary for layout submission. No need to hold back. :) When you login to TextGarden please read the instructions on the “splash page” for how to submit a style (also included in the “notepad” tab).

]]> Sivert 2005-06-28T15:56:00Z 2005-09-26T13:57:02Z Hang on folks [8] tag:textgarden.org,2005-06-28:359f8019fa62baf2d1758dfe2de7fa88/49a295e7b89c9b32eaa0cd1e169ec881 This is textgarden.org, a central repository of downloadable Textpattern layout themes. Design and setup needs to be done and will probably be a live process. So feel free to drop in and check out what’s new.

The idea is that anyone can submit their layouts and then get a ranking by number of downloads, or perhaps votes or even both. There will be several layout categories like “blog”, “photoblog”, “corporate”, “zine” or “wild”.

The domain name comes from this thread and was first coined by kennethlove666 . Hosting is supplied by Dean and Textdrive
