Comfy Theme: Changing Custom Field Declaration

  • Hello All

    I recently purchased the Comfy theme, I did put in a help desk ticket with DeluxeThemes, but thought i’d try here as well while I wait for a reply from them.

    Basically the Comfy theme uses the timthumb php script, and the theme looks for custom field “screen”. If “screen” (i.e. an image) is found, then it will automatically populate the image. The problem I’m running into is that I use a drop down menu plugin (Post Avatar), which notes the custom field is called “postuserpic”.

    I went into the builtin-functions.php file, and changed the following:
    $thumb = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumb', true);
    changed the above to
    $thumb = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'postuserpic', true);

    That resulted in getting a white page, and I was not able to access any part of the site. The only way to fix this was to reupload builtin-functions.php.

    Does anyone that is familiar with this theme have any recommendations to get this working? It’s pretty much the last thing I need to work on before making the new theme live. Thank you.

    Update: By using the “insert avatar into post” option, I can at least get the images to populate in the posts. Now according to the documentation of the Comfy theme, for the thumbnails to populate on the main page (feature story section), one of two things need to happen.

    1. Custom Field ‘thumb’ with the path to the image must be inserted
    or
    2. If no ‘thumb’, then search for another image in the post.

    With me using the “insert avatar into post” option, that eliminates # 1. So technically, the Comfy theme would automatically search & find the automatically inserted image. Problem is, it’s not.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well I’ve given up for the time being, i’ve removed images from the posts themselves until I can find a solution. So far no word from DeluxeThemes, not sure if they even offer support (which if they don’t i’ll be an unhappy camper lol).
