Smells Like Facebook 2.0

Update (10/07): Smells like Facebook now on version 2.2, to see what’s new visit Smells like Facebook blog.

After a long development, the newest version of Smells like Facebook theme is now available to download. Smells like Facebook 2.0 has many major changes from its first version. What’s new on this version? Here you are:

  1. Advanced Javascript & AJAX effect available. With WordPress jQuery, you’ll think that you’re really on Facebook and forget that you are actually reading your own blog.
  2. Right sidebar. So many people asked to me how to add second sidebar, and now it’s available. It clones the ads sidebar on your Facebook profile page.
  3. Customizable sidebar avatar & site logo. Now you can choose what picture that will be displayed on the sidebar, not only gravatar of the administrator. Option to add a site logo that will be displayed on the top left corner (like Facebook logo) now also available
  4. New dashboard page for Smells Like Facebook options. If you think AJAX effect will make your blog slow, or if you don’t want the right sidebar on your homepage, now you can customize it on the Smells Like Facebook dashboard. It’s available on “Appearance” menu.
  5. Some CSS fixes: bullet & numbering now will displayed correctly on posts.

In 2.0.2 version, some bugs have been discovered. Thy are including:

  • “Show older post” link will append the same content if clicked more than once (Ajax mode).
  • The loading image will mutiply everytime “Show older post” is clicked.
  • fixURL() method doesn’t work on Safari because Safari will decode “#” sign in URL if it appears more than once (Ajax mode).
  • Adblock (Firefox addon) considers the right sidebar as an ads bar and block it.
  • If blog homepage is different from the directory where WordPress is installed, link to Dashboard will still be loaded AJAX-ly

But in now live 2.0.3 version, those bugs have been terminated. Bad news, it seems that I totally forgot about “famous” Internet Explorer when developing this theme. Almost all Javascript & AJAX event doesn’t work on 3 versions of IE: IE6, IE7 & IE8. Even in IE6 some CSS is messed up. Phew, thanks IE for giving an extra work.

Anyway, you can download the newest version on WordPress Theme Directory. If you find some bugs or want to suggest something for next development, please visit the new blog dedicated for Smells Like Facebook. And don’t forget to follow our update on Facebook, Twitter or Plurk.

Enjoy!

  1. If you’re getting the “headers already sent” error when visitors post comments, i have posted a fix in my blog (the link associated with my name, above).. please test it and leave a post in my blog if it works or if you have problems. Hopefully the author can validate my changes and add the fix the next official release.

  2. I have posted a fix for the “headers already sent” PHP errors in my blog. If you have been getting these errors, please test the fix and leave a comment in my blog if it fixes the issue for you (or makes it worse).. Hopefully Ainun can validate the fix and add it to the next release.

  3. Right now the only lingering problems are the URL’s duplicating and adding the ‘#’, and sometimes the ‘show all comments’ does not work.. waiting..waiting.. for the next update..

  4. Also the Adsense codes does not work in posts… It shows the ad first time, but on clicking some other link, it does not show the ad in the post… Is it known issue?

  9. I am sorry, there is a bug in this theme, yet: when you go down on the main page and click “older posts” (page 2) it scrolls down and shows more posts. ok. when you now click on a post with an picture, read only the post and right click on a pic with firefox “show picture” after that you press back button in your browser: 404 not found. Because in the url bar is an false URL beginning with http://www.xxx.com/page2/post-name, now left. And also clicking on home or other links are then not more working. seems a javascript / ajax bug maybe. :(

    damn…

  15. Hi, on IE8, the “View older posts..”, it always shows page 2 eventhough page 2 already shown/clicked. Is this a bug? no issues on other browsers. btw thx for a great theme!

  16. Hmm.. the same is also seen in this website nazieb if viewed using IE8.. from main page, the “Show older post” will always show page 2.
