If {PostSummary} and/or {PostTitle} theme variables worked inside {block:Posts} I could do something like this:
<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="{Permalink}"{block:PostSummary} data-text="{PostSummary}"{/block:PostSummary} data-count="none"data-via="sdowding">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Tumblr, please make my life easier!
I finally gave in and added DISQUS comment support to my Generic HTML5 Tumblr theme. Thanks everyone for all the feedback!
Hi, Scott. Love the new theme and I'm using it for my own tumblr. One question: I cannot seem to get the "Stuff I Like" feature to work on my own tumblr. Can you explain how this is done?
... and I answered
To display “Stuff I Like” in the side bar, you need to enable it under Account>Preferences, then in the Dashboard section make sure “Share posts I like” is checked.
Thanks for bringing this up, I think I’ll remove the option from the theme, to make it less confusing.
What I’d really like is to be able to define my own mobile theme.
staff:
Your blogs now comes with an optimized iPhone layout!
And a damn nice looking one at that.
This should be a huge improvement when browsing Tumblr blogs from the iPhone — and we’re building similar views for BlackBerry’s, Android, and more. Stay tuned.
If your theme already looks great on mobile devices, you can disable this feature by unchecking Customize → Advanced → Use optimized layout on mobile devices.
I’ve started converting my Tumblr theme to HTML5. I found a good example of a blog layout from Sitepoint (I know, right?). So far so good, but when I ran my site through an HTML5 validater I discovered that the IFRAME injected by Tumblr contains attributes that are not valid HTML5. Oh well, not much I can do about that.
I’m looking for a way to work on a tumblr theme offline. Is there such a thing? I can’t stand pasting the custom code into the text box and clicking save every time.
