Announcement

This theme is highly specialised. It is designed as a single page with a component construction. Apart from the header and footer which are always displayed, and the navigation which is optional, you can add up to 9 components to the page template. There are 14 components available in the theme though you are more than welcome to design additional ones if you have the skills required.

The theme is designed to be used to announce special events or anniversaries such as a birth, a wedding, a birthday, a wedding anniversary, a graduation, a corporate event etc.

Because those components that use an article call their article using the article_id the theme only requires a single section.

Despite being the front-page, and thus an article_list, there is a “comments component” allowing you to add a comment form and display any comments.

Available components include 2 text components which can each contain up to 3 columns of text. The width of the columns is automatically calculated so that if you only add one text form it is displayed full-width, if you add 2 they are displayed at 50% width and if you add 3 they are displayed at 33% width.

There are also components for baby stats (can include an article), countdown clock, headline, occasion details (uses an article), occasion hosts, photograph slider, registry/links, single article (uses an article), subscribe/connect, video and widgets.

  • Comes with 7 colour variations which can be set in the Theme Manager.
  • The theme uses styled site_name and site_slogan tags by default but if you have your own logo image, upload it to the _templates/announcement/assets directory that was auto-created when you installed the theme and enter it’s name in the Theme Manager.
  • All navigation links are set in the Theme Manager assuming that you want to display the navigation which is optional (Theme Manager again).
  • You can add up to 9 components to the page template in the Theme Manager.
  • All component variables can be modified in the Theme Manager.
  • Widgets can be added to the “widget component” in the Widget Manager.
  • All Widget variables can be modified in the Widget Manager.

  • Widgets are included for Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, blogroll, get in touch, contact us.
  • A special form is included for adding article body images with a caption if you have added one.
  • Full documentation on how to use your theme can be conveniently referenced in the “Home/Theme Documentation” tab.
