Hi

I am a Drupal newbie with limited PHP/HTML/CSS skills in the process of putting together my first and rather ambitious site. I love your theme for its clarity and boldness and would like to get to grips with it. However for my needs the clever AJAXY stuff is unnecessary and likely to totally confuse me.

Any chance of the theme in a standard point and click version or is there another theme that you know of with a similar look ?

Thanks for your great work.

Cheers

Dave

Chrysalis works fine without the AJAX stuff.

The demo site is there to show off the Asynchronous module (which provides the ajax page loads), as well as the Chrysalis theme.

While the Chrysalis theme has support for Asynchronous built in, you don't have to install both. I tried out Chrysalis with one of my websites for a while, without installing Asynchronous, and it worked fine.

It's a lovely theme, and it works nicely with the iPhone.

One minor issue is that the Chrysalis theme will include the javascript to support the Asynchronous module, even if Asynchronous isn't installed. This means a small amount of extra bandwidth will be wasted in serving it, as well as an unnecessary http request if javascript aggregation isn't enabled on your performance settings.

If this bothers you, then the asynchronous.js file can be deleted from the Chrysalis theme folder with no ill effect.

Hi

I'm slowly working towards going live with Chrysalis at http://www.WorldofWildCamping.com. The theme by default generates a little exclamation mark error in Internet Explorer if the Async module is not installed complaining "Drupal.settings.asynchronous" is null or not an object.

Is it better to delete the asynchronous.js file or would it be better to amend/delete the "scripts[] = asynchronous.js" in the "chrysalis.info" file.

Thanks

Dave

Hi, I still need to make it load asynchronous.js only if asynchronous module is enabled. I'll file a issue for this.

For now you can comment that line in chrysalis.info.

Change

scripts[] = asynchronous.js

to

;scripts[] = asynchronous.js

I'm glad you liked the theme. And thanks for letting me know about issues.

Now I'm using it on a project too, so you can expect improvements in the coming weeks.
