Carrington Core 3.0

Alex King — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:15:55 +0000

We’ve released a new version of the Carrington Core – the engine that powers the Carrington framework. This version has a few moderate list changes, some of which are pretty interesting. In particular:

Added support for custom post types (WordPress 3.0)
Support for child themes (including adding templates and plugins in child themes that do not exist in the parent theme)
Allow custom functions to be filtered into the Single and Comment template selection process (already supported in General context selection)
home.php is now only used in is_home() situations, not is_front_page() (reverses feature requested and added in v. 2.5)

Other changes:

Make the posts_per_page setting work as intended (only on initial query)
Support for nesting templates inside sub-directories in misc/ and forms/
Removed use of deprecated function `get_the_author_ID`. Replaced with 2.8 `get_the_author_meta` (since 2.8.0). Users of versions of WordPress prior to 2.8.0 should be aware this change will cause problems for them.
Define required Carrington settings in a more forgiving way, making it easier to use just part of Carrington on a site when desired
Make gallery settings (implemented in CSS) specific to each gallery
Added changelog

INK Design

showcaseuser — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 11:06:47 +0000

The concept for this site was to make a premium WordPress powered theme to showcase the art and design work of Kamran Samimi in a slick, modern way. The site is made to handle many projects which can be filtered by type (categories, tags). Each project opens and closes in the same page seamlessly via ajax. A cool feature of this site is the full screen, randomized background images that change upon each refresh or page change.

Some of the inspiration from the site came from tylerwolff.com as well as the popular Cargo framework. The site makes use of many CSS3 techniques, jQuery, jQuery Masonry, jQuery Backstretch, and of course the Carrington Framework.
