[theme-reviewers] CSS3 Validation ?

[Chip Bennett]

To further expound on this one:

*CSS3 Properties*

background: -moz-linear-gradient(#252525, #0a0a0a);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#252525, #0a0a0a);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#252525),
to(#0a0a0a));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#252525, #0a0a0a);
-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 0px 1px 2px;
-moz-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 0px 1px 2px;

etc....

*Q#1:* Will these be "OK" in the Theme Validation process ?
Yes.


The Guidelines (used to) explicitly state that these prefixes are
acceptable. I'm not sure when that statement got removed, but it is still
applicable.

And just to clarify on this one:

*require_once / include_once vs locate_template( array( 'file.php' ), true,
false );*
Hopefully Otto will not mind. This is what I've learned from him:
*Instead of doing require's, consider using locate_template. This would
allow child themes to override anything you're requiring.*

*Q#2:* Can i use require_once instead of locate_template ?
Yes


If you're including a template-part file, i.e. a file that is intended to be
used as part of rendering the output, then you should be using
get_template_part(). If the template part file is in a subdirectory, then
you should be using locate_template().

If you're including a functional file (generally speaking, anything included
inside of functions.php), then you should be using include() or require(),
as appropriate. (Though it's probably *okay* to use locate_template() in
this context; I'm not sure what benefit there would be.)
