Hybrid 0.6 beta testing

Beta testing the upcoming version of Hybrid 0.6

If you'd like to participate in beta testing, I'm opening this thread up for discussion. This is also the first time since version 0.3 that I've held public beta testing for all members. I'm hoping this will help make the theme better when it's released.

Download

Download version 0.6 beta

You must be running version 2.8 (trunk) of WordPress to test this theme.

Important notes
- You must be running version 2.8 (trunk) of WordPress.
- This is not an official theme release.
- This beta version of the theme is not supported in any way (it will be after testing).
- Please do not use this on a live site. It's best to work in a test environment.
- This is the testing thread. We already have an ideas thread on 0.6.
What to test

Well, we're making sure everything works right, but here's a list of the major stuff:
- Every theme setting needs to be checked on the front and back ends to make sure they're working.
- Layout stylesheets (located in /library/css/) with blank child themes and major browsers.
- Testing of the separation of comments from trackbacks and pingbacks.
- Do all of the page templates work?
- Are widgets working properly (display, settings, etc.)?
- Looking for anything on every type of page view (archive, home, single, etc.).
- Make sure it doesn't break child themes.
Join in and have fun

I'm a big believer in extensively testing a theme before release, especially something like a framework, which goes well beyond your average WordPress theme.

By participating, you're both helping yourself and others. If you find something wrong, then we need to make sure it's fixed before the next release. That way, everybody wins.

Along with the separated pingback / comment support, will there be built in support for separated Tweetbacks?

I am up running and its looking nice. However i`d like to populate it with a extensive datatset/content. Do you have any importable sets to recommend other then the xml sets from WP-Candy and the sandbox xml ?

I`m still getting the error on homepage:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/xxxxx/public_html/corporate/wordpress/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 24

...last lines in source, and its Hybrid specific, does not happen with no posts or with other themes.

Please advice me on how to track it and I`ll give it a try.

I'm assuming Tweetbacks is some kind of plugin, which I don't know anything about. So, I'm not going to working with it because I'm trying to keep the theme as light and clutter-free as possible.

Do you have any importable sets to recommend other then the xml sets from WP-Candy and the sandbox xml ?

Nope. I mainly just use the Sandbox file myself.

I'm still getting the error on homepage:...Please advice me on how to track it and I'll give it a try.

I'm not sure how to track it right now. The error you posted doesn't tell me anything about the theme.

I'm assuming you've updated to the latest build, right?

I have reinstalled db, reinstalled theme, reinstalled WP 2.8 build 10850 and I`m still getting the same error. Hybrid 0.52 is fine as default theme, Thematic and Carrington are.

Environment:

Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/
PHP 5.2.8
mySQL 5.1.30
WP 2.8 build 10850
Not a root install - WPMU running in root.

If I`m to guess I would propose it might be a issue with compatibility with PHP 5.28 ( based on googling the error and a fallback which isnt present in 5.2 - just guessing though - dont really have a clue )

With a vanilla install with one post and using a page with the category template I get the same error and this one on the category page:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/xxxxx/public_html/corporate/wordpress/wp-content/themes/hybridbeta/library/functions/framework.php on line 184

/wp-content/themes/hybrid/screenshot.png, and it doesn't exist. All is not lost! You can search for what you're

that's the first issue, and hybrid theme is loading without any style ( theme.offlineblog.net )
but child themes work fine

also, please tell me how to test all those new layouts ?

You tried going to http://theme.offlineblog.net/wp-content/themes/hybrid/library/images/pingback.jpg, and it doesn't exist.

@JohnMyrstad
I ran into this issue too:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/xxxxx/public_html/corporate/wordpress/wp-content/themes/hybridbeta/library/functions/framework.php on line 184

I've already fixed it in my copy and it'll only happen when no settings for meta descriptions/keywords have been set.

I just pushed out Beta 2 with some of the major bug fixes. This should make testing a little better. Same download link:

just a proposal:

You may have a 2.8 nightly available for download to have more people betatest. Most people does not use svn on trunk.

FYI: The Object of class stdClass could not be converted error is only present with default permalink settings. Is it a WP bug ?
Justin Tadlock (Key Master)
Posted 4 years ago | Permalink
Cool. That helps out a lot. All I needed to do was reproduce the error to figure it out. It does indeed seem to be a WP bug that was never fixed. I can find a workaround for it within the theme, but this should be handled by WP.

It seems that maybe categories aren't getting treated fully like other taxonomies, which they should be.

***

If you'd like to report this on Trac, the error is:

When using the get_the_term_list() function to show a post's categories with the default (non-pretty) permalink settings, I receive this error:
```
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in ..\wp-includes\category-template.php on line 24
```
Code example:
```
get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'category', 'Posted in', ', ', '' );
```

Looks like we got it fixed in #11257:

So far - it's working for me.
The only issue I'm having with my custom child theme is the function I use to remove sidebars no longer works..

function sugar_remove_sidebars( $sidebars_widgets ) {
	if ( is_page_template( 'home.php')|| is_page_template('discs.php')|| is_page_template('discography.php'))
		$sidebars_widgets = array( false );
	return $sidebars_widgets;

I'm sure it's due to the new widget system...

(edit)
this did work though..

function sugar_remove_sidebars( $sidebars_widgets ) {
	if ( is_page_template( 'home.php' ) ){
		$sidebars_widgets['primary'] = false;
		$sidebars_widgets['secondary'] = false;
	}
		return $sidebars_widgets;
}

Justin,

I am testing a Hybrid install with a custom stylesheet. This is what I got so far:

Is everything suppossed to be white on white here, or did I do something wrong:

http://themehybrid.com/support/forum/hybrid-theme#postform

Also, is this correct?
```
/* Get base CSS */
@import url('library/css/25px.css');

/* Get layout CSS */
@import url('library/css/2c-r-fixed.css');
```

Justin,

I made a Frankenstein Monster Mashup of Options/Spartan and Hybrid. It is very ugly, but it actually almost worked even if it is ugly:

@Frenchtowner:
Since youre having so much issues on a live site I`d like to recommend the Theme test drive plugin by Vladmir Prevolac:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-test-drive/

It gives you the ability to run a site live in the theme/mode that gives least problems, while you hunt bugs and develop another version as logged in.

It also gives you the ability to post a url with the theme you want.

@everybody: Theme test drive plugin gives owners of live sites already on 2.8 the ability to do a Hybrid 0.6 beta test, without any risk of messing up the frontend for visitors, making it possible to have effective beta testing which will benefit us all by getting 0.6 released free of bugs.

@Everyone

I should have a big post today or early tomorrow on version 0.6. My copy is pretty much finished. Right now, we're just waiting around for WP 2.8.

only problem i have is that theme doesnt show first letter of post name correctly if it has specific UTF-8 . for example Š or Ī

What does it look like? And, what should it look like?
intars (Member)
Posted 3 years ago | Permalink

well Š looks like S and Ī looks like I. it must look like Š and Ī

I have 0.6 Beta 2 on a live site and I'm sorry to say that.

I installed it few days back and do like it very much, no problems at all, at least I have not encountered any.

Justin, are you still planning a post today on version 0.6?
looking forward to reading it...

Š problem reproduced WP 2.8 b2 and Hybrid 0.6 b2 using default title and also when using Hybrid title with charset=utf-8

Also problem with Norwegian Å. Maybe something with post-title entry-title , cause it renders correct at one browser text size but not at the others ? Top of font gets chopped off.

Works fine in 0.52.
