Redoable was last updated in April 2007, because of this full compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress cannot be guaranteed. Redoable is provided as is, without support and there are no plans for any future updates. This covers both the version you can download here, and the version that is available on hosted WordPress.com blogs. There are many features within Redoable, such as sidebar modules/widgets, that were not part of the WordPress core at time of release but have since been added. As a result you may find things that don’t work correctly, or as expected in later versions of WordPress. WordPress 2.1 was the last version properly tested with this theme.
Redoable was built upon the popular K2 code, with some things changed, a couple of things removed and a whole bunch of things added.

gillo: As I had mentioned above, LiveSearch (and Search to a certain degree) is broken in Redoable 1.0, I am running 1.1 on this site which is why LiveSearch (should) be working work. 1.1 is still in development and LiveSearch will be fully functional when it released.
The 404 page is because the livesearch script is looking for a page that doesn’t exist. I apologise for any confusion, I think I might has misread your first comment.
In my plug-in folder, I have two folders: ‘share-this’ and ‘share-this 1.3.1’. The first contains the icons and the file share-this.php. The second contains only the file prototype.js, maybe this can be a problem?
I removed the reference to ‘/wp-includes/js/prototype.js’ on the share-this.php file, and the reference to slider.js on the header.
Unfortunately, the search is still not working. When I search for something, not only it gives me no results, but when using livesearch, it also attaches a 404 page at the bottom of the page itself??
Thanks for the help.
gillo: slider.js.php was left over from the k2 theme on which Redoable was based. The file itself wasn’t actually included with Redoable, but if it does exist you can safely delete it, you can also remove the reference to it in the header.
prototype.js is required, it handles all the effects and ajax stuff, like LiveSearch, Live Comments etc. If more than one copy of prototype is loaded it seems to cause problems with LiveSearch. My recommendation would be to check if more than one copy of it being loaded.
You are using ShareThis and I have previously identified a bug/compatibility issue between it and Redoable. You will most likely need to modify the share-this code to remove the line where it includes prototype.js. ShareThis will still work, because prototype is already loaded.
The second inclusion of prototype seems to kill LiveSearch.
Dean: earlier on today I’ve seen exactly that, theresults underneath the search form. Now I don’t see them anymore and I get results only after I press return (and they appear in a very small font). However, on my site, they don’t appear at all, even after I press return.
On another note, I checked the size of the homepage and I found out that among the most “heavy” files, there are these two:
22kb http://totaltactics.org/wp-content/themes/redoable/js/slider.js.php
22kb http://totaltactics.org/wp-includes/js/prototype.js
Can you tell mw what they do and if I can slim something down? The page is more than 200kb!!!
gillo: Yes, the problem with the livesearch seems to be with my proxy and not my site. It seems to have cached all my files and won’t load new ones if they are available.
For example I changed the css to fix a problem and numerous ‘hard’ refreshs were needed before it realised it need to load a new file. It really annoying from a developement point of view.
Can you confirm that when using the livesearch on my site, you get the results in the sidebar underneath the search box.
I will have to get back to you after I check about the search form.
Dean: you said Livesearch doesn’t work. However it does on your site??? Furthermore, if I disable the widget, hwo can I have a normal search form??
gillo: For the archives page, my suggestion would be to go to ‘manage pages’ and delete the archives page, then re-create the page manually and make sure to set the page template to ‘page-archives’, and don’t enter any conetent in the main text area.
I am still working on a fix for the sidebar display problem.
First of all, congrats for the good work. I have a problem with the archives, I installed the latest ELA, but I cannot see anything on my archives page (http://totaltactics.org/archives/). On the Redoable options I chose to have Redoable set up ELA for me.
On another note, in the pages with short content, such as the archives, the sidebar background shortens too and the text on the sidebar doesn’t show properly anymore. Any way to fix this?
smo: Thanks for the feedback, I am working on fixing that problem, its caused by the way that the month list is floated in that first module, it should definitely be fixed in the updated version which should be available in the next week or so.
hi!
at first, respect for that theme, looking brilliant!
but im having a problem with the sidebar..
when i use the custom settings everythings alright.
but when i use the sidebar modules thingy, it keeps on getting messed up.
the calendar/months list module is causing problems. the next module below it starts right under th last month.
have a look on my website to see what i mean..
i dont know whats happening there… maybe u have a slight idea?
smo from germany.
Thanks a lot Dean. I’ll remove the module for the time being then!
Graeme: Yes, LiveSearch wasn’t working on Redoable at the time of release. I have been working on it, and should have an updated version available in the next week or so.
Thanks for a great theme Dean and I’ve already installed it on my blog!
One question though! I don’t seem to be getting any results with the LiveSearch. Any ideas why? Graeme
Thanks a lot mister Dean
. Greetings.
zensure: I have just added a bit of info above about how you can apply those styles. All you need to do is add a class to the ‘p’ tag. Hope that helps.
Oh, and happy new year by the way ^^.
Great theme Dean
.
I’m a bit noob in WP things so I have a little question about this theme, ¿how do you display the style examples (download, warning…) with this skin? I would like to know how can I display them in my blog using your theme.
Thanks a lot.
Azmi: I am looking at including an inverse style in the next release, and potentially the ability to change colours from within the admin area.
Wow, great theme Dean. Well done!! Maybe you could make a white version of redoable
