New Smells Like Facebook

Posted on by

The new Smells Like Facebook with new Facebook layout is on the way. As you can see in this blog, the header has been changed to the new layout of Facebook page. But it’s not ready yet to be released for public. There are some parts that need further considerations, like the new Facebook icons beside the search box. I’m planning to put a small RSS icon in there and some another icons to subtitute the Facebook one, but I still can’t make appropiate image since I’m suck at drawing. :lol:

So, just stay tune to see the updates of the new Smells Like Facebook version. Any ideas are welcomed ;)

PS: Sorry I can’t answer all of your questions and complaints right now. These deadlines are killing me :cry:

Smells Like Facebook 2.4.1

UPDATE: To follow Smells Like Facebook updates, go to http://smells-like-facebook.nazieb.com/

Hello folks, in this very end of 2009 year, the newest update of Smells Like Facebook theme is available. Major changes made to this theme including:

  • Fix on unregistered comments. Now if someone which is not registered as member post a comment, no errors will be found.
  • Multiple pages post support. The theme now support posts with multiple pages. The <!–nextpage–> tags will split pages correctly, and links to next and previous page will be available below the post content. Note: this is a compulsory for new theme hosted in WordPress Theme Directory
  • An anchor that with target “_blank” will open the link correctly in new tab / window. There are some reports that in the older version, the link will be opened ajaxly.

You may see that the update of this theme is very slow. The last version, 2.4 was uploaded on July. I’m very sorry about this, since I have a lot of work to do to feed myself. I also got a serious health problem last month, so I can’t focus myself to this theme. But if you intend to give me some penny, I think I’ll quit my job and focusing on this theme, seriously ;) You can send the donation to my paypal. Every donations is very helpful. I thank you for you who have donated to me :)

After all, some bugs may still appear. Please let me know if you encounter one. I’m very happy (and also tired :P ) to see many responses from people about this theme. Thank you for using my work.

Happy New Year, everybody!

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!
