ComicPress 3.0 Dev Chat, Townhall, Summit, Planning Session, Crucible, Public Involvement meeting, Round Table, Thursday August 5th, 2010, 6pm PST, (9pm EST)

On Thursday of this week, at 6pm in the Frumph Chat, i’m going to have a discussion with ComicPress Community members about the current progress of ComicPress and involve people in the decision process on how it works, looks and it’s abilities.

Note, even though it can upload the comics it currently does not attach them, so bear that in mind it’s still an unfinished product.

The discussions that will take place will consist of topics of discussions that the community has, as well as the ‘flow’ of commands for ComicPress amongst other things.

Please reply with any topics of interest you would like to cover.

Multi-Comics Setup Summary for ComicPress 2.9.2

by Phil (Frumph) on July 27th, 2010
Posted In: Wordpress, ComicPress

Quick Summary of setting up multiple comics with ComicPress 2.9.2

  1. Setup Storylines, the Comic Category will of course be the root.  The storylines you will use will be the comics names.  So create children off the root comic category as the individual comics.
  2. Disable the comic off the front page.
  3. Add latest thumbnail widgets and set those widgets to the appropriate category.  (yes you can do this now) So that the thumbnail for the latest comic thumbnail is for that individual comic.
  4. Drag the Comic Navigation widget into under-comic.   Disable *all* the checkmarks except first in category, next in category previous in category and last in category.  Those particular navigation buttons will let you navigate PER category, the first will go to the first comic in the category, next IN category, and LAST comic in the category, etc..
  5. Post the comic into the appropriate storyline category, remember 1 category per comic post, that being the comic you want to post it in.

And that’s it.   There’s still the 1 comic post per day, but you knew that.     If you look on http://frumph.net you will see that I have a Rascal Comic and a Pinups comic both with their own navigation.

If you plan on wanting each comic to have their own site, realistically you should, then WordPress 3.0′s Multi-Site feature is what you are really looking for and it’s very easy to setup.

Have fun!

Frumph will be attending InterventionCon sept 10-12th

I will be attending InterventionCon, sept. 10th through the 12th http://interventioncon.com/.  I will be doing Workshops on CSS/Site Design/WordPress/ComicPress/Tricks.

As a bonus to all workshop attendee’s, I will be providing information on how to receive the automated Cast addon to ComicPress child themes as a free download.   The casts addon allows you to display your cast members in a totally new to ComicPress way, showing when they first appeared in the comic, how often they have been in the comic, all of the comics they were in with links and other statistics as well as individual biographical information!  (I might even have time to include the relationship tree with that too ;) )

If you cannot attend the workshop I will be providing this child theme addon for ComicPress for around $29 (after) the con is over.   The addon will be offered as a one time purchase with unlimited upgrades or free for attending any workshops.
