A very simple yet elegant, free, photo blog theme from WooThemes. Installation uses Manfre’s mem_templates plugin to import all page, form and CSS templates plus it installs all plugins used by the theme and activates them.

No theme images need to be uploaded to the “Images” tab. All aspects of the theme remain external to Textpattern itself.

The theme includes the “tbs_variables” plugin. Once installed you will find that you have a new tab – “Presentation/Theme Variables” – which will enable you to modify the set-up of the theme without the need to go anywhere near any code.

The theme comes with extensive documentation. Here are some details about Snapshot:-

  • Comes with 3 colour variations which can be set on the new “Theme Variables” tab.
  • The theme uses it’s own theme logo by default but if you have your own logo image, upload it to the site-design directory that you uploaded during theme installation and enter it’s name on the new “Theme Variables” tab. If this field is left blank the theme will display a text version of the site name and site slogan that you entered in the “Preferences/Basic” tab.
  • You can switch the email link in the top navigation bar on or off on the new “Theme Variables” tab though remember that there is no contact section or plug-ins with this theme. No reason why you can’t install a contact page yourself though.
  • You can set the quantity of articles displayed on the front-page on the new “Theme Variables” tab.
  • You can set the main photos section on the new “Theme Variables” tab.
  • You can set the quantity of articles displayed by a listing page on the new “Theme Variables” tab. This does not apply to tag and default sections.
  • By default the theme will use the standard textpattern feed tags however if you have a Feedburner account you can enter it’s name on the new “Theme Variables” tab and feed links will point to that instead.
  • There is no need to create thumbnails for this theme. All images displayed throughout the theme are auto-generated from your original image which can be as large as you like.
  • When viewing an individual _article page, clicking on the article_image will display your full-size image in the “PrettyPhoto” lightbox.
  • A full-width page template is included.
  • The “mem_templates” plugin needs to be installed manually but once that is done all page templates, form templates, CSS templates and remaining plugins are imported with a couple of “clicks” plus all plugins are “activated”.

This theme now requires Textpattern 4.3.0 minimum.
