Custom Thesis Page Template

Hi guys,

I'm familiar with Thesis and how it works, but I lack the coding skills in PHP to develop a custom page template. What I'm looking for is something like you see on the homepage of this site: Your Portland, Oregon Real Estate Broker

I know it uses header customization, but I have a graphic I'm using for that. I know it also uses a gallery plugin that I'm familiar with. It appears to make use of one or more feature boxes.

If I could just get a template, I could plug the rest in with hooks using ThesisOpenhook.

I guess what I'm asking here is, what is a reasonable price to pay for someone to code the template? I can handle all design aspects.

Thanks!
Lucinda

  • If you ar asking how to create a custom page template, used to serve only pages, and not posts, then it is really simple.

    All you need is few lines of code.


    Code:
    <?php
/*
Template Name: Your Page Page
*/
?>
	<?php    
		 = get_page();
		echo  $ page_data->post_content;
	?>
    Then you can add all css, body html other elements top, bottom of this code, and may even call sidebars.

    You can take a look at this URL where I am using the custom page template for a product. It is entirely different from the main blog site.

    Expression Engine eCommerce & Membership Module

    And here is the exact page template code I am using

    Code:
    <?php
/*
Template Name: EESuite Page
*/
?>


<html>
<head>
<title>EESuite | Expression Engine Membership Module | Expression Engine eCommerce Module</title>
<meta name="description" content="EESuite is an Expression Engine Membership & eCommerce Module (CRM in Works) that runs right within Expression Engine." />
<meta name="keywords" content="eesuite, eemember, expression engine membership module, expression engine ecommerce module, expression engine member module, expressionengine shopping cart module, expressionenine cart module" />

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>
<body bgcolor=#fafafa leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
	
	<div style="background-color:black;height:50px;">

    <center>    
	
	<?php

    Then I just enter the main content of the page in the WP admin.

    Simple

    • Lucinda, you could probably get it done for $100 or so, maybe a little more, by someone who enjoys working with Thesis. Myself - I run far away from it

      Not quite as easy as that with the Thesis theme.

      BTW Deep.Arora - it's hilarious you're creating a sales site for an Expression Engine module on a WordPress site...
