P2 WordPress Theme Ported

by Kishore on June 13, 2009

I need a theme which could be used to edit posts, titles and add delete posts from the front end. This requirement was for a news blog which gets around 100 submissions a day. Practically its very difficult to edit these posts if needed by opening each submissions is something impossible. The P2 Theme was something almost near to what I needed.

This theme can be used to post and edit new articles, but there was a problem with editing titles and deleting posts. I did some hacks and now I can do the following

  1. Short code for Image
  2. Short Code for URL
  3. Short Code for Videos
  4. Add titles
  5. Edit titles
  6. Delete Post without leaving the page
  7. Assign Categories, Posts with videos are assigned Video Category automatically
  8. Adds SEO links (Hacked Smart SEO Plugin)

These hacks are just implemented and its under testing. I will post the theme for download as soon as I feel its complete

This theme is visible only when logged in as Administrator.

    These modifications are great.

    I would like to make a suggestion, though. Three new input boxes; one for title, one for image and one for video. How difficult would this be? I’ve been modifying P2, as well, but I’m not as adept as you, unfortunately. If I donated money, would you be willing to make these changes?

    Thank you in advance.

    Any word on the updated theme?

    BTW, my modified P2 theme has run into a bit of a snag. If you (or another reader) is interested, I posted the error on this forum: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1105266/altered-wordpress-p2-theme-not-posting-to-firefox-or-ie-safari-works-fine-thoug .

    I’m willing to pay/donate a little $$ to get this bug squashed. Thanks!

    Is there any word on this yet, because I really want to be able to select categories on the P2 theme – I love the theme, but it’s just missing that for me. Thanks.

    I’d be willing to help beta test or trouble shoot this theme – any chance you would make it available yet? Thanks!
