Anyone have links to your ProPhoto theme-based sites to show off? I'm in the process of building mine and would love to see what other people have come up with.

I use it for a video based website about our son who was born with Down syndrome. We are creating an online narrative of his life with daily one minute videos.

New blog based on Pro Photo Theme just I just launched today for my wife. http://sweatersandsweets.com/

Using the fancy.css styling packaged into the theme and added some custom.css styling to make it happen.

@rick, you will want to copy over the followercount.php file from the lib folder in your standardtheme install to the same folder in your pro photo install. Next you will want to open up in your pro photo install lib>standardtheme.php and add the following line to Framework Dependancies near the top of the file: require_once('followcount.php'); Once you do that, you should see it show up in your list of widgets!

@JBrad...that's epic! Thanks man. I've been wanting to do this for a while now! Legit!

 

You mind helping me figure out how to "style" it? If you check out http://noahsdad.com you'll see a have a dark look going on so the standard colors don't blend well (and the font was hard to read.) I don't have the widget on there now, but it's nice to make the colors blend a little better if it's not that hard to do.

 

Thanks!

@rick, two things you will need to do:

1. Add the following attached file into your images folder.

2. Add the following into your custom.css file:

.follower_count .count {
background: url('images/followers_count_bg-dark.png');
width: 110px;
padding: 0;
}

.follower_count .count_label {
padding: 10px 0 0;
width: 150px;
}

.follower_count .count_label, .follower_count .count {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #666666 !important;
}

Hope that works for ya!

@dami, do want your sidebar to not show up on just your blog page, or all your pages?

@JBrad...

I like how you included the pintrest button up top...I want to include that on my site as well....I know how to install the button for someone to pin our page...but do you have any idea how I can add the pin the scrolling buttons on the left side of each post? (Like where the facebook like, stumble upon, etc...buttons are)

I was very inspired (and impressed) by Mosley Pro Photo's website and also liked Noah's Dad's website very much. I still wish to learn some of the tricks Mosley uses for framing his slideshows and the format of his background; but I will try to figure out. Anyway, my site is hdrme.com and I am currently building it as we speak.

Thanks 8 Bit for a great theme. I hope you keep it up for at least 20 more years!! :)

Peace and happy 2012 to you all!!!!

Looking through the sites mentioned for inspiration, I noticed that http://www.abnyphotography.com/ is having gallery issues... I can't see any of the pictures large, just in thumbnails under the large gallery photo.

I've also begun setting up my girlfriend's portfolio using PPT: http://www.sararokicki.com

 

Also - I noticed that PPT has changed hands now, new company logo appears on the PPT official site.  While I'm a little disappointed, life moves on.
