Gotcha: W3 Total Cache, Thesis, and Wordpress 3.3

Submitted by Steve on

If you're running a site with W3 Total Cache (W3TC), the Thesis theme, and Wordpress 3.3, beware.  Clicking the "Big Ass Save Button" once to save your Thesis options will corrupt all your Thesis settings.  If you're using this combination, go to your site's dashboard and, on the General Settings panel for W3TC, disable Object Caching.  Word is that this will be addressed in the next version of Thesis.

Upgrade: Welcome to Drupal 7

Submitted by Steve on

Welcome to Drupal  Version 7.  The ugprade was a little choppy, mainly due to figuring out what modules don't exist for D7 or just don't yet work here, but the site is upgraded.  The theme still needs a bit of work.

Anyhow, it was a good learning experience and a fun Sunday spent in total nerd mode.

The theme is now Pixture Reloaded, an adaptive theme.  Adaptive means that it adapts to the size of the browser. If you're viewing this on a tablet or phone, try rotating your device.  You may find the sidebars move from the side to bottom, or vice versa.

Button, button, who's got a button?

Submitted by Steve on

Next time you're tempted to create a button using your favorite graphics tool and some javascript to swap images on a hover and click, stop.  It's really easy to create a button with CSS the CSS Button Generator.  Check out the buttons on Great Harvest's home page.  It's just text and CSS. Once you've defined the class and put it into the site's style sheet, creating a button is as easy as this:
<a class="myButton" href="http://www.sterndata.com/target.html">Button Text</a>
