Re: change needed to gaurav theme
Hello Glen, I have made necessary change in the theme. I am a bit busy in my GSOC project. I have started buidling fauxcoly theme in foundation, but will need some time. How you think is best you to commit changes of the fauxcoly theme ? (Completely after completing or partial changes) Thanks Gaurav On Sunday 20 July 2014 08:59 AM, Glen Mazza wrote: Much appreciated, I typed up the JIRA for you.

So if he writes 10 articles, his blog home page consists of 10 blog titles and 10 Read More but no blog text. Normally we give this decision to the blog writer. Namely, if and only if he puts something in the Summary field on the Blog entry edit page, we output that summary only (as your theme already does) along with the Read More button. However, if he leaves the Summary field blank, we go ahead and render the entire blog article, potentially several entries on each page (the number of blog articles per page can be adjusted by the blogger on his settings page.) I think we should be retaining this functionality even for the smart-phone-friendly gaurav theme. If someone's concerned about too much data on the blog home page, he can put in one-sentence summaries for each blog article to get the Read More buttons (as he should do, to give the blog reader a better idea what's behind the Read More button) and/or reduce the number of blog articles per page to limit the size. Even the Bootstrap folks, masters of reponsive themes, happily have their blog output several blog articles without requiring read more buttons: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/ Would you be able to take care of this change for us?

Re: change needed to gaurav theme
Awesome! Fauxcoly on Foundation is at your leisure, it can easily go in after 5.1 is out. Partial commits are OK, so long as you don't leave Fauxcoly in an unshippable state (i.e., if it's half on Foundation that's fine so long as the theme still works.) Until 5.1 is out, please don't check in anything that makes us unable to release Roller at the drop of a hat if necessary.
