Installation
The installation is pretty straightforward, assuming you already have a working Textpattern installation (4.0.5+ required) and an FTP access to it's directory. Just follow the steps below.
Upload static content
Upload “gaia” directory of the template package with it's contents to the root of your Textpattern installation. It contains all the styles, images and scripts the template needs.
Set required preferences
Go to admin -> preferences -> basic page in your Textpattern admin interface.
Set “Automatically append comments to articles?” to “No”. “Present comments as a numbered list?” should be set to “Yes”.
Set up pages
Every text file in the "pages" directory of the package corresponds to a template page with the same name. Go to presentation -> pages, then create (or replace) all appropriate pages using the contents of that directory.
Set up forms
Every text file in the "form" directory of the package corresponds to a form with the same name. Go to presentation -> forms, then create (or replace) all appropriate forms with the following types:
Form name Form type archive_article article archive_heading misc footer misc full_article article header misc search_results article static_article article (existant forms) (default) Important note: some text editors/viewers don't display header form content properly for some reason. If this happens, try a different editor.
Set up sections
Go to presentation -> sections, create “article” section and do the following:
- For the about section, set “Uses page” to “static_page”
- For the article section, set “Uses page” to “default”
- Create a section with name “archive”. Set “Uses page” to “archive”. Set other options for it to “No”.
Don't forget to save after every action.
Install plugins
Go to admin -> plugins, then install plugins by copying the content of each file in the “plugins” directory into an appropriate field, clicking "install", and then activating it by clicking “No“ under the “Active” column in the plugin list.
You're done, hooray! View the website and enjoy.
