The download has now been updated and plug-in dependency reduced due to the use of new native tags.

The free version described here is still available from the download link above however there is a completely re-vamped version (October 2013) known as TXP Clean Plugged and the demo button above is linked to this new version.

TXP Clean Plugged is coded in HTML5 and is fully “responsive”. It also contains many additional facilities not available in the free version. You can read all about the new additions in the articles on the demo pages. This new version requires Textpattern 4.4.1+. Whilst the free version has the same “look” as the demo it does not contain the new coding or facilities described.

First to go in a major way is rss_suparchive. The new <txp:if_different> tag sounds a little boring but is actually very powerful. TXP Manji 2 still incorporates monthly and category archives, both with menus, and not a single plug-in in sight.

Also dropped is rss_live_search. It’s a nice plug-in but isn’t really necessary as it doesn’t do anything the standard search doesn’t do and requires it’s own section/page. Having said that I have used a separate search section to keep the front-page as clean as possible.

Other plug-ins to hit the dust are glx_if, ob1_if_section and ob1_title. They simply aren’t required any more as TXP can now do their jobs.

So what remains? Only 4 plug-ins are left and of those only 1 is truly required, if_cookie, which controls the changes in the comment entry form for new or returning visitors.

mkp_version is used in the footer to display your current TXP version and revision numbers. If you aren’t too lazy this could be done manually.

hak_textile_tags is used in the comment entry form to provide visitors with easy textile formatting commands. This could be removed as there is a Textile Help button but removal would reduce the functionality from the original WordPress version.

zem_contact is used on the contact page to provide your visitors with a form mailer to aid contacting you. You could use your own form mailer if you prefer but this one is excellent. Of course your site might not require a form mailer so it can be removed.

None of these 3 plug-ins are necessary but I leave it up to you whether you install and implement them. If you decide not to use them you should remove the appropriate tags in the comments_form form template, footer form template and default page template.

New to TXP Manji 2 is the addition of SmoothScroll. This will enable smooth scrolling on all anchor tags. Try clicking on the Search option in the top menu or the Arrow at the bottom of the page. It also comes into play on the Archive pages. Try clicking an option in the Menu or one of the Back to the menu links. It is javascript so requires that your visitors allow this but if they don’t the anchor tags will behave in the standard fashion as they are coded in the usual way.

Also new to TXP Manji 2 is that it validates to XHTML 1.0 Strict. Now don’t tell me I don’t try hard enough.

The free version described here is still available from the download link above however there is a completely re-vamped version (September 2013) known as TXP Manji2 Plugged and the demo button above is linked to this new version.

TXP Manji2 Plugged is coded in HTML5 and is fully “responsive”. It also contains many additional facilities not available in the free version. You can read all about the new additions in the articles on the demo pages. This new version requires Textpattern 4.4.1+.

All the usual suspects included. Do check for any glitches and let me know if you find any.

The free version described here is still available from the download link above however there is a completely re-vamped version (October 2013) known as TXP Gespaa Double Plugged and the demo button above is linked to this new version.

Here’s is day 1 - Simpla

The free version described here is still available from the download link above however there is a completely re-vamped version (September 2013) known as TXP Simpla Plugged and the demo button above is linked to this new version.

TXP Simpla Plugged is coded in HTML5 and is fully “responsive”. It also contains many additional facilities not available in the free version.

This isn’t a full-blown website theme but is a replacement for your “error_503” page template and is for use with Ruud’s rvm_maintenance plugin so you may find it useful when creating a new site or if you need to throw an existing site into “maintenance mode” whilst re-designing.

Because it isn’t a full theme the only modifications it will make to your site are to add or replace an error_503 page template, add the placeholder style sheet, add a new “Placeholder” tab in “Presentation” where you can modify the variables.

Installation uses a modified version of the “cxc_templates” plugin which needs to be installed manually unless you already have it of course. Other plugins installed automatically are “pax_grep” which you may already have, “tbs_placeholder” which creates the new “Placeholder” tab and “yab_email” which you may already have and is used to obfuscate your email address.

Installation will not work with the “mem_templates” plugin so if you have that it will need to be switched off.

If you are already using a ProText theme it will sit alongside it, creating all it’s own folders/files in the “_templates” folder of your site.

The new “Placeholder” tab allows you to change the following:-

• There are 5 colour variations though these are only subtle changes to the body background.
• You can use your own logo. If left blank the site title entered in “Preferences” will be used.
• You can determine whether or not to display the site slogan as entered on the “Preferences” tab.
• You can set the start date.
• You can set the start time.
• You can add your own text below the 503 error title. If left blank the standard Txp error_message tag will be used.
• You can add your own title for the social links block.
• You can enter details for each of the social links. If any are left blank they will not be displayed and the remaining links will be re-centred.
• You can enter your own title for the countdown block.
