Changes that have been made:

Updated to version 1.2.

Changes:

1. Added default WordPress gravatar support. (Removed old gravatar code in comments.php and replaced with standard WordPress code.)

    Great theme, just added! I do have some feedback, though.

    Page commenting doesn’t seem to be supported. I’m using WP 2.6 and have comments enabled on my six pages. I don’t actually mind having zero comment support on my pages, in my particular case, however the images marking ‘comments’ and ‘latest post’ still appear on my pages; which looks a little odd.

    Maybe tweak the code so that if the page being viewed is a ‘page page’ rather than a ‘post page’, the images don’t display?

    Great theme though, regardless. Any plans for a theme suitable for independant/student film makers? :D

    Thanks you for the wonderful theme. I have been looking to replace my old theme for some time now and yours is the best one I have found in a long time. One question. Is there a way to add the tagline below the blog title? Thanks again.

    Fantastic theme, perfect for a personal blog. It’s very scrap-booky which I love. Unfortunately “out of the box” it only works for a relatively short blog title otherwise the headings and pages overlap. If there is an easy way to make the height at the top automatically adjust for either a one line or two line blog title then it would be great.

    Thanks for all the comments guys! Much appreciated and I’m glad you all like the theme :)

    Tefft: To add the tagline, paste the following code just below the code on line of the theme’s header.php file….

    Not sure how the theme will react, the layout might break if you pop that in there, but give it a try and see what happens :)

    Bammann: Yeah, I know what you mean…I’ll look into that and release an update that will support a longer blogtitle

    : Awesome! Added exposure is always good, so I won’t complain :) I’ll check out my CSS and upload an update as soon as I’ve fixed. You want me to pop you an email when I’m done??

    Great theme, thanks. The footer isn’t quite right on IE6.

    Thought it may be my site but the same happens for your demo link on this site. The “previous posts” does not show. FF display is perfect.

    Santry: I know the theme isn’t 100% perfect in IE6. But it was a delibirate decision to NOT fix IE6 bugs, as I feel it is way past its lifespan.

    I also have to fix IE6 bugs for all my client projects, so it’s nice to be able to ignore at times! :)

    My advice - Just use Firefox! It’s way better :)

    Thanks for stopping by :)

    A fantastic theme, too bad it doesn’t work with IE6! That makes it pretty useless, unfortunately. Of course Firefox is better and IE7 is out, but most people still use IE6 and they won’t switch to Firefox just to be able to read my Blog properly.

    Out of interest I checked my hit stats, IE6 was top with 48%, FF (2 and 3) made up 37% with IE7 only coming in at 5%.

    Obviously that will change, IE6 will phase out but prob not as quick as the uptake of FF3.

    I agree, Firefox is better but the public need to be convinced :)

    Esquivel: What version of IE are we talking about?

    : Yeah, I know. Many people still use IE6. I just didn’t feel like fixing the bugs for this theme, as I deel with IE6 issues nearly everday on client projects. So it was nice to turn a blid eye on this project :D

    : Thanks! Glad you like the theme…

    Santry: Yeah, I know a great amount of internet users are still using IE6 (why, I don’t know :) ). But like I said, I just felt like ignoring it for this theme. I think more people should ignore it, maybe the public will adapt to more modern browsers. Unfortunately one cannot ignore it on client projects, as you loose to much audience.

    Yes, I know, somebody already translated it in French… But being the control freak that I am, I’d like to translate it myself for my use.

    Would it be possible for you to put the PSD files where text is included for downloading? That would simplify things also for others that would like to translate it in other languages…

    Nice work, BTW! The only glitch I see is the “Latest post” image that stays there even when you navigate away from the home page… Ah, well! :)

    Hey Cobus,

    Love the theme, was just wondering if Google Analytics/analytics plugins will work with it. I’m pretty sure my analytics plugin stopped working when I installed your theme, but I’m not 100% sure. I really hope that’s not the case, because it’s the best one I’ve found so far.

    28-08-2008 at 1:03 am // Permalink

    Cobus:
    Some analytics plug-ins are dependent on the use of wp_footer(). Scruffy doesn’t call this function and therefore prevents these plugins from working. Simply adding this to the footer.php file solves the problem

    Jessica:
    To fix this problem, you will need to edit the Footer file for the Scruffy theme. To do this
    1. Go to the Theme Editor (Admin > Design > Theme Editor
    2. Select “Scruffy” from the list of themes to edit
    3. Choose “Footer (footer.php)” from the list of Theme Files
    4. Insert the following text on a new line above >/body<

    >?php wp_footer();?<

    When we add pages the “Paper” extends up and covers the navigation bar in ie 7.0 I did not check in 6.0 but tried several different computers in 7.0

    When on the home page the nav bar shows okay but if you select the new page (glossary) then the nav bar is covered up.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? My son asked me and I have no idea what to do.

    I really love your theme, I am so happy to find a theme I really like after searching for so long.

    The only problem I have is this. I have a couple of password protected entries, and when you scroll down to them, the “Enter your password to view comments” overlaps the entry title. Is there any way to make this text not display at all, but keep the comment numbers there? That’s the ONLY thing that is bugging me about the theme, everything else is wonderful!

    Browser is Firefox 3.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi everyone

    Scruffy is a great theme. I’ve modified it to make an artist blog for my girlfriend. But I wanted it to work properly in IE. So I fixed it myself and I thought it might interest some of you.
    This is the first time I do php and css so I learned along the way this last week. So I don’t know if my fixes are the most elegant. I did it according to http://www.ericsprojects.com/?p=207
    The blog I made is at http://www.generationrien.lautre.net/carotide/ for you to see.
    Here are the lines I added in the style.css along with a couple of here and there.

    in
    #head {
    _margin-left: 80px;

    in
    #main {
    _margin-left: 40px;
    _margin-bottom: 80px;

    in
    .post .comments {
    _margin-left: 45px;

    in
    #footer {
    _padding: 20px 80px 0 80px;

    in
    #comments textarea{
    width: 98%; //instead of 100

    in
    .entry p {
    _margin: 30px 0;

    Now it looks OK in IE6 and still is perfect in FF.
    There’s one thing I didn’t manage to do: It’s removing the tan-colored border around around the pictures in posts. I tried everything but to no avail. It might have something to do with a background ? Can someone help me with that ?

    Hi there Cobus — scruffy is an awesome template. I have a couple questions….
    1. where is the new updated file? (1.1) when I click on scruffy template, it’s still the old one (1.0) - none of the updates you mentioned are working on mine.
    2. it says it’s widget enabled, but I can’t get any of the ‘text/html’ ones working, where I can put in my own sidebar content (when I do put it in, and hit save, they disappear.

    I became attached to this theme as soon as I saw it, helped by the fact that within our family, I was given the nickname Scruffy. Nieces and nephews still call me Uncle Scruff at times.

    I’m new to WP and short on useable CSS and PHP skills so I hired TechnoCraftz through http://wordpressfreelance.com/.

    Great people, affordable pricing.

    My users are mostly new to blogs so I changed navigation, some icons, etc.

    Hi,

    I’m currently using this template for my site and I love it, but I had two questions/comments…

    1. I have installed the Flickr RSS plugin, but it doesn’t look the same way it does on the preview page. Am I doing something wrong? Is there coding I need to add?

    2. Is there a way to remove the “continue reading” links at the bottom of each post? I have the whole post automatically show, so there’s nothing more to read. Instead, I’d love if these said “leave a comment” since I don’t think that readers may realize that that’s an option otherwise…

    Please let me know! And thanks again! :)

    Minevich: Thanks for downloading and using the theme!
    To solve the flickr issue, read the readme file in the theme folder :)

    And to remove the “continue Reading” link, open index.php in a text editor and delete the line of code on line 26

    Unfortunately the theme is of limited use for international users, as the text is either in the files or included as images

    a pity. I would like to use it in german but even when I edit the files, the images will stay in english….

    I also whished you would publish the psd-files.. would spread your great work internationally!

    Hi Cobus, I’ve just downloaded and installed your amazing theme on a wordpress 2.7 final version hosting.
    Unfortunately, I’ve got some issues with it: the good-looking comments sphere I saw on the live test isn’t appearing on my own website; instead, all I got is an ugly, big, black “comments” text. (both with firefox 3 and safari on Mac).

    Any idea on how to fix this?

    hmmm, my sidebar is slipping under the context in exploder…. the theme always looked a bit messy in that, works well in firefox which is what I normally use, but now its real bad in explorer…anything I can do?? I can’t see what makes it mess up like that, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I adore this theme! It’s perfect for my writing blog. I do have one question, though; I use the Post Avatar plug-in, and I have a thick black border around my avatars that looks really ugly. I was able to get rid of the tan one inside of the black one, but I can’t find the code for the black one. Help would be much appreciated.

    Hello,

    I am using this theme on my personal blog and I just love it. Thank you for a great theme.

    I do have some questions regarding the permalinks. I’m assuming the #content added at the end of the permalinks is being used as an anchor target:

    http://www.web-betty-blog.com/1066/ode-to-red/#content

    Is this necessary? If not, how can I remove it? The links work without the #content and it’s not necessary (for me, anyway).

    Thanks!

    Hey Cobus…love the theme. It’s the best edgy theme I’ve found (they are too few and far between). Any new free themes on the horizon?

    Quick question…do you know if the tagline code addition worked? I’ve been wanting to find a way to add my tagline but haven’t had time to play with it. What line should I put that code on in the header file?

    Thanks again for the great work.

    First of all, thank you VERY much for a wonderful theme. I am new at WordPress and I am trying it out on my new install, slowly transferring pages from my old LiveJournal blog to the new domain.

    At your suggestion, I installed the WP-PageNavi plug-in to handle pagination. I’m not sure if this plug-in is responsible, but I noticed that the arrows seemed reverse when traversing blog pages. I hope you don’t mind, but I opened up index.php in the editor and made a quick fix for you:

    original code from index.php, around line #44:




    fixed code:




    You might want to include this if you ever release Scruffy 1.4 … it was a simple fix. :)

    Again, thank you for providing this wonderfully designed WordPress theme. I love the personality of it.
