Khmerbird.com is running with WP MAX

i have been looking for years, a theme that i wanted. i planed to ask someone soon to customize a theme for me, but when i found WP MAX, i said oh my god ! the theme is just what i need. the WP MAX response exactly to what i need, it’s some kind of finding a someone got the same idea LOL

more than what i expected they have the feature that find automatically the picture in your old posts and make it as thumbnail photo, it’s really cold, the plugin need are included in the zip file, you just need to past it to the plugin folder and with some explanation that you can find find in theme option it would help enough to make it running,

and the most important thing it’s free ! it’s a beautiful work! thanks to all those guys, i really appreciate for this fabulous wordpress theme.

if you want to have the same thing for your website please find the link below to get it done for your website. i still have more features to set it up that i cannot finish it yet. especially sorry for all the link on the front page, i will manage to put it back soon,

well i hope you all enjoy with this new look,

    I agree, this theme is amazing, I´ve just downloaded it too

  • http://malaysia-kini.com/blog MyBlog

    I am using the same theme too :)

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    yes, i love this theme. a bit hard to understand and customized because it’s not like a traditional wordpress theme but it’s good to try. i am a bit lucky all my recent posts were posted with pictures so that the theme will detect automatically.

    good luck for Claudio and i have visit Malysia-kini, you blog is cool i found some interesting tools for adsense.

    take care guys.

    where can i get this theme for blogger….

    Hi! May I ask how you setup the carousel? I’ve inserted the correct category ID but nothing shows up at the carousel. Hope you don’t mind, thanks!

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    hi Galwin,

    for carousel, i have a new category carousel and add the category id at the WP MAX option, then i go to my old posts and add category carousel to the posts, if you old posts got picture, it will generate photo automatically, if your old post don’t have picture, u need to add picture to customized field called image.

    good luck.

  • http://galwinfabian.com Galwin

    Great! Thanks, khmerbird !

    Hello,

    Hi,

    I’m trying to configure WP Max in my website. Is it possible create a post without images and makes a thumbnail to show in LATEST NEWS?

    I saw this in creator’s site (http://mywordpressdesign.com/max/) by he didn’ answer my question :-(

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    you can,
    in your post, Add new custom field, fill in the name: image
    and value: url of your image

    hope this could help.

  • Getro

    Hi khmerbird.

    Unfortunately, didn’t work. I already try: latestthumb, image, Image, thumb, Thumb, thumbnail and Thumbnail, but any of them work well.

    Any more ideas? Thanks anyway.

    • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

      maybe it looks from only the gallery of the post itself,
      you can try to add new image from the post of your latest news,

      you can do it from the editor window, add a new image and copy the url of the image, it will look something like this: /wp-content/uploads/2009/01/rithy-panh.jpg

      to find the link of your upload url, just click on file url after you uploaded the photo. you don’t have to insert the photo into the post but just need to click save at the bottom.

      try to add the custom field again with the following parameters:

      name: image
      value: /wp-content/uploads/2009/01/rithy-panh.jpg

      good luck

  • Getro

    Hi khmerbird,

    I’m already using the following parameters:

    name: image
    value: /wp-content/uploads/2009/01/myimage.jpg and I try http://www.mysite.com//wp-content/uploads/2009/01/myimage.jpg too.

    Any of them it works. I’ll give up. Do you use Wodpress 2.7??

    • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

      yes, i am using wordpress 2.7

  • Getro

    khmerbird,

    I found a bug. The thumbnails are generated automatically. Is it possible disable this function?

    • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

      i am not sure if we can disable … but you can find the Principal of image custom field here http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2007/07/24/in-praise-of-wordpress-template-tags-part-ii-the-magazine-layout/#customfields

      i tried myself, it’s not too hard to understand, u can define the custom filed and name it anything you want, then u can call it back at the front page.

      to learn more about custom field here http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields

      good luck

  • Getro

    Ok, thanks for your help.

    Are you only using the following parameters:
    name: image
    value: /wp-content/uploads/2009/01/rithy-panh.jpg ??

    Just it?

  • http://clwolvi.blogspot.com Nitesh Kothari

    thnx for the reply..he is selling it for 10$…i cnt afford it… isn’t there someone who gives it for free…..

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    yes i am just using these:

    ame: image
    value: /wp-content/uploads/2009/01/rithy-panh.jpg

    but for example rithy-panh.jpg need to be the one that you found in gallery of your post, i think experience the same problem when i tried to link to external url or image from other posts.

    u need to upload the image from the post that u want to use the image. then it will automatically detect your photo and if you have many photo you can add the value in image custom field.

    hope you understand what i mean.

  • http:/www.getro.com.br Digerati

    Yes man, i know.

    Before WP-Max, I used the Arthemia and Mimbo magazine styles and I have no problem with image custom fields.

    thanks again.

  • http://ufoss.com ufoss

    custom fielsd must be Image

    ‘I” has to bug letter

  • http://www.fuze-magazine.com mbrown58

    I like this theme alot and I have been using it but I cannot figure out how to get a preview image for the video player videos. I have tried everything I can think of. How is this done?

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    it works for me also with image “i”… anyway you can try with “I”

    mbrown58,
    to get a caption image u need to add a parameter called “image” to your image url,
    you can take example from what i have done previously

    [flash_video filename=http://khmerbird.com/videos/Beyonc_-_If_I_Were_A_Boy.flv width=300 image=http://khmerbird.com/videos/caption/Beyoncé_-_If_I_Were_a_Boy_2.jpg /]

    you can find full customize by this link

    enjoy.

    ya no doubt the theame is great but i am facing some problems in media flash plugin , i am not able to display the youtube video in the home page , can anybody help me out pls. thanks in advance :)

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    hi Sumit,

    first make sure you enable the FLV video plugin,
    then on the appearance, WP Max option, make sure you select the right category number for the video
    then you can check the code here [flash_video filename=http://khmerbird.com/videos/Beyonc_-_If_I_Were_A_Boy.flv width=300 /]

    let me know if u still have problem

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    oop, you can replace the filename by your youtube url

  • http://www.webburners.com sumit

    hi khmerbird

    Thanks for the reply, i already activated the video and also chooses the video category in the wp max option and also i change the catgeory-videoid file with appropriate id here suppose id is 10 then i replace it with category-10 for it

    and also i make the post with video category and post fo ex the below video

    [flashvideo filename=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XIZ4K-gU8s width=300 /]

    this link i put in the content section , do i need to change anything if yes please help me out

    thanks

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    on your single post, the video works just fine,
    maybe you need to check number of your category video again
    coz i can see here http://www.webburners.com/?cat=7
    seem like 7 is the right video category,

  • http://www.webburners.com sumit

    I already placed the flash plugin at wp plugin folder

    in flash setting i have used the following url
    sitename/p-content/plugins/flash-video-player/mediaplayer.swf
    if i play this link its working fine , the video is working on the particular comment page but not able to play that video on home page, you can check it out at www,webburners.com , i am not able to figure out whts wrong with the media plugin , i also reinstall it many times but nothing goes ma ways

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    please view my previous comment,
    i believe the plugin was fine, but maybe something wrong with the category number,

  • http://www.lovabledesign.com angurio

    re: preview images

    i couldnt get the preview to work either, so i looked at the code - in functions.php - and the author did not put this option in (i.e. the variable for a preview image).

    so, i wrote a hack that works for youtube videos, by stripping the youtube code and now the amended functions.php will look for a jpg of the youtube video code inside the images folder of the wp-max directory.

    i.e.

    http://www.hostelandrea.com/wp-content/themes/wp-max/images/B2Ii2UfDfQ8.jpg

    the amended php file is here, ive added a simple explanation: (i zipped it up)

    http://www.lovabledesign.com/code/functions.zip

    as i said, its dirty but it works.

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    hi sumit, which version of wordpress are you running on your site?

  • http://www.webburners.com sumit

    Hi khmerbird

    I am using wordpress 2.7 and also i am not able to get the comment about the category, i have to put the category id in video . is it right or i have to put the individual post id ??

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    only category id would be enough,
    because you said your category video is 10, but as i click on more
    i could see this http://www.webburners.com/?cat=7
    you might want to change from 10 to 7 at the video category setting,

  • http://www.webburners.com sumit

    i have jst given the example but my cat id is 7 in real :)

  • http://khmerbird.com khmerbird

    ah ok, another suggestion is to remove the ads box first, i could see the layout is modified a bit when you put some banner advertising, it might cause the payout unstable ;-)

    let’s try a test with original them, to see if it’s work on your server.

    otherwise i don’t see any wrong with it.

  • http://www.webburners.com Sumit

    hi khmerbird

    Thanks for the suggestion buddy , but i think some probs occuring due to my server config , most probably , my server doesnt support php5 at all , it may happen sometimes that i get error of database connection. I am still new to wordpress and still making up with it but i really love the way everything works with wordpress .can u suggest something to get the highyer ranking

    Thanks
    Sumit

  • sandy

    Hello

    I am just starting to use WP-Max. But I am having some problems with the template. Can anyone help? By the way the website is still in development.
    1. When I have the Media Browser displaying my video files, then my Front Page Categories not showing anything. Only if i turn off my Media Browser then my Front Page Categories display all the articles. I have changed the VIDEOID to the category ID and have also set the category ID inside the Video Options to the same as category ID.
    2. I can not get my posts displaying any of the thumbnails.

    Any suggestions? By the way I am using wordpress v3.0

    Thanks

    2.
