Is anyone interested in a 7.x version of this theme?

I ported the 6.x version over for a site I needed. None of the theme configuration options work but it is functional with all major bugs worked out that I could find so far.

I tried contacting the maintainer but have received no response.

If anyone is interested I will upload what I have thus far. Can we branch off a theme into it's own project for 7.x even if it is just being ported?

Here's what I have done so far. It works without any showstopper bugs. However, none of the configuration options work as I've never really ventured into that for theme programming and I didn't have time to learn it.

It would be great to have a version 7 for this theme.

As I mentioned, the zip I provided above should work without configuration options. Any comments, improvements, requests from anyone?

It's great to see that there is a working port of this theme. I used it on my drupal 6 website but couldn't find a decent theme when I upgraded.
The problems I have are with the breadcrumb. There it only shows the word 'array' in the breadcrumb box. There is also a warning:
Notice: Array to string conversion in waffles_breadcrumb() (regel 657 van /var/www/vhosts/chiro-meise.be/httpdocs/sites/all/themes/waffles/template.php).
Translated to English it, it says that there is an array to string conversion at line 657 of the template.php file.

A second, somewhat similar problem is with the comments. There it also only shows the word array but it doesn't give any warning.

I added a screenshot to show exactly what is wrong.

I'd really love to help fixing some errors but I don't really know anything about drupal theming. I'll start looking into those problems and make an attempt in fixing them but if someone with more experience can solve the problems, let me know please.

Thanks!

See post #4 above: the theme in the zip file works for 7.0. Have not tested later than that but it shouldn't be a problem.

NOT ALL FEATURES WORKING. It's just the basics.

I tried enabling the theme on my drupal 7 site, and all I get is a white screen when trying to view the site.

The one error that keeps coming up is 'Theme key "blocks" not found.'

Seems to be a new problem introduced with a D& update: http://drupal.org/node/1132720

I don't have the time to try to address it so it someone else wants to give it a stab by all means update the zip file.

Love this theme, message me if you would like me to help on the D7 version!

I'll be in touch Todd Young. Did my sad port attempt work somewhat for you? Can we branch this under GPL since the maintainer seems to have abandoned?

I think its good idea to create new project branch for this theme. I think we should also raise money fund developers and new maintainer. I can't upgrade to D7 till this theme is stable.

I'm interested in version 7 of this beautiful theme, has there been any further progress in its migration from version 6? Or does anyone have suggestions for a similar substitute theme? Thanks for any help.

I've made a few improvements to the Drupal 7 version:

- Fixed showing breadcrumbs. Only the string 'Array' was shown.
- Fixed fatal error when displaying views.
- Define a fixed width for the main content so it does not run over the sidebar right region causing blocks in that region to be not clickable.
- Properly render node links. Show them under the title and content and not in between them. This also results in the links being shown with the correct styling.
- Show icons before node links 'read more', 'comments' and 'comment add'.
- Properly style the search block.
- Show publication date and author under the node title. Can be configured on Display settings page of node type.
- Fixed block placement in region node_bottom.

It is a pity this theme was missing for Drupal 7. However it is better late than never. I just commited the code from this issue. Though initial D7 port is done there is a lot of work. I suppose we can proceed with further development in separate issues.

The good news is the theme has just got new co-maintainer. I am in hopes we get D8 version of the Waffles soon. :-)

Thanks to everyone who helped with this.
