Hello,

Are there any pans to release the functionality of Annotum as a plugin? This would give users far greater flexibility in using existing themes. What are your thoughts ?

Thanks

  We considered the plugin approach, but for the first version we wanted to provide a very stable and consistent experience. We believe that creating turnkey, peer-reviewed scholarly journals with a structured editor is best done via a single theme. As I recently wrote:
  
  Annotum is provided as a single WordPress theme, including its own plugins, templates, and custom code. Although some [similar] features are already available as stand-alone plugins, a key design philosophy of Annotum was to keep the installation as simple as possible. WordPress plugins and themes can at times conflict; the Annotum team sought to reduce the chance of such conflicts by having a single theme contain all of the features to be delivered.
  
  Some of the new functionality (e.g., workflow, pdf export) is implemented as plugins within the theme; others (for example the article editor) are much more deeply integrated. But certainly you can feel free to download the source code and have a go at creating a separate plugin for any of the features you would like to use.
  
  One last note: because we based Annotum on the Carrington theme engine, it’s a reasonably straightforward matter to create child themes that use the base Annotum features with a completely different look and feel. Annotum 1.0 comes with one base and one child theme.

Hi.

I am very much a wordpress novice but I do have some experience with building child themes with wordpress and buddypress. However I cant seem to find an up to date resource on how to do this for Carrington.

A particular issue I am struggling with is incorporating the article custom post type and getting it to successfully display using a child theme

Would it be possible for you or crowd favorite to post up a tutorial for building child themes within the Carrington framework for Annotum. I can see this is a different task to building child themes in the normal fashion.

If crowd favourite do this then I think it would also encourage wider use of their framework.

P.s this is great work your doing. I very much hope to use this tool within a multisite network.

  Thanks for your comment.

  You may have already seen what the WordPress Codex has to say about child themes, and I can refer you to this post on the Carrington Theme blog which has some additional details — check the comments section below the main post. Finally, instead of starting a new child theme from scratch, with Annotum you might try copying the entire Currents child theme to a new directory and modifying it.

  Thanks! We’ve done some testing with multisite and it seems to work fine, but if you do see any issues, please feel free to send any bug or issue reports to the discussion list.

Hi,

Thank you for this nice theme (I hope this website is alive).
I love it and I’d like to keep it for my blog but I have an error message at the top of page with the following information:
