| − | == Libraries ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Note the multiple instances of "[[Library (computing)|Library]]". This is a bad sign.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using libraries is like grinding fresh pepper on your food: a little tastes good, but a lot tastes bad.

| |
| − | == Solution stacks ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Solution stack|Solution stacks]] can be part of problem, because a "stack" is made up two or more separate applications.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The purpose of the stack is to "bundle up" the separate applications into a single application, the stack.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Solution stacks are useful, powerful tools.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | But they add [[complexity]] -- and where you have complexity, you have side-effects, synergies, unpredictability, vulnerability.

| − | == Chapter Five: Themes and Templates ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | See [[Chapter Five (WordPress: The Missing Manual)]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Theme files ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each theme must contain two specific files:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * <code>style.css</code> - the stylesheet for this Theme
| |
| − | * <code>index.php</code> - the primary Template file
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Theme Stylesheets ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each Theme requires a stylesheet named <code>style.css</code>.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <code>style.css</code> functions like any other stylesheet, providing [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS] rules for the site.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | But in addition, <code>style.css</code> contains information which WordPress uses to identify the stylesheet, and the folder which contains it, as WordPress Themes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * The Theme information, which uses a standard format, goes inside a [[CSS comment block]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | WordPress can read the contents of the <code>style.css</code>, so it knows what Theme the stylesheet represents.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This happens on the web server, and has nothing to do with the web browsers. CSS comments are ignored by web browsers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Theme Templates ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Templates are individual PHP files within a WordPress Theme.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each theme must have a template named <code>index.php</code>.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Other templates are optional, but commonly used.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Templates have specific file names, each of which handles a specific pages, or set of pages, within WordPress.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Template files are where you write the HTML and PHP which WordPress will display as web pages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == include statement ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | include is a PHP statement which allows you to include one PHP page inside another page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This technique is useful for assembling a single page from fragments.
