Hi friendly folks, I created LibraryLearn for the project developed by Jamie Segno and Michelle Keba, and I am just about to get around to a couple of emails sent directly to me but I figured I'd chime in with some important things:
1. LibraryLearn's public repo is not up to date - the next one is a biggie: 2. LibraryLearn is highly dependent on the rest of the Sherman Library's ecosystem. It *is not* packaged for reuse and you probably *shouldn't use it*, especially in the state as it was left on the repo. On LibraryLearn.com I wrote: "It's device agnostic, light weight, is smart and dynamic, and future-friendly - and it's totally yours if you're willing to wait!" While this is true, the waiting part is also true. We have to get permission to explicitly open source it and package it properly for integration in other WordPress themes, but since that permission is probably a long time coming, it is totally spun-up as a highly dependent child theme to the rest of our ecosystem. The video files don't even live on our instance of LibraryLearn but on a separate media server. What you get from the repo probably will not work for you without intense retrofitting. My apologies. The plans to distribute LibraryLearn are not as a theme but as a plugin, or maybe the important video parts in the plugin and bundled with a theme designed around that plugin, but we haven't yet been given the go-ahead by our copyright person and our parent university. On a nicer note, I'd be happy to walk you through the code you should use, or show you how to implement XYZ - depending on what you want to get out of an instructional videos theme. Since LibraryLearn was created, WordPress now natively handles HTML5 Video, and developers can now replicate it much more easily. Feel free to shoot me any questions.

I'm wondering: 1) If you have copied the theme in it's entirety 2) If somehow paths got mixed up. Another thing that looks odd to me is the placement of that functions.php file. The functions.php file, within a WP system, is normally contained in a designated theme name directory - not directly in the 'themes' folder. I'd expect to see that path look more like this: /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/YourThemeNameHere/functions.php ....where YourThemeNameHere is the theme you've chosen for your site. Just a hunch: where did you place that theme? Did you copy it directly in the 'themes' directory, or did you copy the folder it was contained in as well? In other words, when you look inside that 'themes' directory, do you see a bunch of files? There shouldn't be anything in there but folders. If you had someone you trust to take a look at this setup, or play around with that functions.php file, that's the route I'd go, if you didn't feel comfortable with it yourself. Is this a 'live' site? .m On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 2:04 AM, Sergio Letuche <code4libus...@gmail.com> wrote: > sudo tail /var/log/apache2/error.log > > PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required > 'library/Detector/lib/ua-parser-php/UAParser.php' > (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in > /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/functions.php on line 12 > > this is what i get, any suggestions? > > > > 2014-11-05 9:58 GMT+02:00 Sergio Letuche <code4libus...@gmail.com>: > > > Login to wordpress... > > Appearance>Themes>Click on activate to see the theme you want. > > > > When i do this, i get the WSOD.
