Graffito: Recreating the Demo - Extension

Your Guide to Recreating Elements of the Graffito Theme for WordPress


Extension

Here is the widget breakdown for the Extension section:

  • Text
  • Gantry Divider
  • RokSprocket

Text

The Text widget in this section is pretty straightforward. You will need to enter the following in the main text field.

<div class="rt-image largemarginbottom">
    <img alt="image" src="http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/graffito/wp-content/rockettheme/rt_graffito_wp/frontpage/general/featured-2.jpg">
</div>

<p class="medmarginbottom"><strong>RocketLauncher</strong> is a customized <strong>WordPress</strong> install, that installs a <strong>replica</strong> of the <strong>demo</strong>.</p>

<p>All sample content images, shown in this demo, will be replaced with blanks in the <a href="http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/graffito/installation/"><strong>RocketLauncher</strong></a> package to avoid any copyright issue.</p>

Here is a breakdown of options changes you will want to make to match the demo.

  • Set the Title to Graffito Demo.
  • Switch the Title Variation option to Title 1.
  • Leaving everything else at its default setting, select Save.

Gantry Divider

This widget tells WordPress to start a new widget column beginning with the widget placed directly below the divider in the section.

RokSprocket

This RokSprocket widget is a Tabs widget type. Like other RokSprocket Widgets, you will need to create it first using the RokSprocket Admin menu. We named ours Popular Features.

First, you will need to create the RokSprocket Widget. You can do this by navigating to Administration -> RokSprocket Admin and creating a new Features widget.

You can find out more about RokSprocket and how to set up and modify widgets by visiting our RokSprocket documentation.

Here is a look at the Tabs Layout Options for this widget.

Option Setting

You can set the RokSprocket filters to include any category, specific posts, or otherwise you would like to have featured in this widget.

Once you have created this widget, you can add it via the Widgets menu by clicking RokSprocket and dragging it to the appropriate section. When you have done this, you will need to complete the following.

  • Set the title to Popular Features.
  • Select your RokSprocket Features widget in the Choose Widget field.
  • Set the Title Variation option to Title 1.
  • Leaving everything else at its default setting, select Save.

The widget should now be created and ready for use on the front page of your WordPress site.
