[theme-reviewers] [WordPress Themes] Suffusion, new version 3.6.2

Mon Aug 9 17:28:48 UTC 2010

1) Comicpress's screenshot contains an image inside the screenshot based on the users input.  The rest is exact.  Your theme however defaults as a black set of themes.

Additionally, it's my suggestion that you make your theme into a framework and utilize child themes instead of containing the various different looks from within it.

2) functions.php
if (function_exists('wp_nav_menu')) {

if ($menus_style == 'rolled-up') {

foreach ($menus_included as $menu) {

if ($menu->term_id == intval(substr($entity, 5)) && !in_array($menu->term_id, $processed_menus)) {

$processed_menus[] = $menu->term_id;

$menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id);

$menu_structure = suffusion_get_menu_structure(0, $menu->name, null, 1, $menu_items, 'menu');

$nav_structure->children[] = $menu_structure;

}

}

}

Oh . look.. wp_get_nav_menu_items!   Just register the nav menu's already.

3. Would you like me to do a full code review?  Let's start with optimizing your theme, it currently adds a 27% addition to the processor load per user   per page load and a 3M increase per page load in comparison to other themes.  Memory tops at 32M overall usage, which is at cap for most shared hosting.   I recommend rewriting for optimization and maybe looking into useing wp_cache_set for global information.

  Phil,

    1.. I did check the last theme that was approved - ComicPress. When activated the screenshot is very different from what you see in screenshot.png. Obviously different standards are being applied to different themes.

    2.. If you search through the code, you will NOT see wp_nav_menu() being used anywhere. Only the existence of the function is being checked - the function itself is not being used. What do you want me to register? 
    3.. Read my email carefully. I said the review is not thorough and I didn't suggest you are testers. I understand you are in testing overdrive, but your comments come off sounding pedantic at the least.

  Sayontan.

    1) If the screenshot.png does not look like what the end user see's when activating the theme, the screenshot.png is invalid.

    2) However if you USE wp_nav_menu(); then you MUST register it., you use it, register it.

    3) Line 288 in actions.php is not wrapped around conditional <!-- if statements which should be used as an enqueue

    4) We're not your theme testers, we're reviewers, test your theme before submitting.

      Hello,
      I have been following the feedback posted for this version of the theme and I believe the review is inaccurate and not thorough. Here is what was posted:

          1.. screenshot.png does not look like the theme's output.

          2.. wp_nav_menu(); being used but registration of available locations not being set

          3.. all scripts and styles should be enqueued ref: actions.php line 288, line 427-429 suffusion-options-page.php and various other locations, unless otherwise inapplicable to make the code work properly, i.e. <!-- IF statements

      Point #1 is incorrect. You get that with the Magazine template (bundled with the theme, Templates -> Magazine in the options page) and the Minima skin (Visual Effects -> Theme Selection, WITHOUT changing any code.

      Point #2: The use of wp_nav_menu() is recommended, not mandatory, as per the Theme Review checklist:

        Themes are strongly suggested to support the following customization features: 

          a.. Custom Menu - wp_nav_menu() 
            a.. If a navigation menu is part of the Theme's design, it should be a customizable menu. For Themes that do not have a navigation menu, users should be able to add a Custom Menu widget. 
      If you define a custom WP 3.0 menu you can include it in the navigation bars from the settings in Blog Features -> Main Navigation Bar Setup or Blog Features -> Top Navigation Bar Setup. If you do not define a native WP menu you can still build your menus from the Navigation bar Setup pages in the options. I don't see how this is grounds for rejection.

      Point #3: The scripts and styles are enqueued where applicable. The line #288 in actions.php that has been listed is a conditional include, and the lines 427-429 in suffusion-options-page.php are for scripts in the admin page, not in the theme itself. The stylesheets cannot be enqueued because there is a custom-styles.php file that is printed out, and enqueuing destroys the sequence for that.

      IMHO, the review is not thorough enough.

      Sayontan.
