WooCodex: Here to help you

13

by Adii Rockstar in Development

As part of our continuing quest to add value for our users – not only via new themes, but also via the surrounding WooThemes resources – we’re proud to announce the new addition of the WooCodex to our support offering.

Since standardizing all of our themes with the implementation of a core set of functionality via the WooFramework, we’ve been finding ourselves using the WooFramework for all of our projects; not just in our themes. The reason for this is simple: The WooFramework already includes so much functionality, which makes it perfect for any kind of WordPress-powered website.

So as an added benefit, we’ve made the WooCodex available to all of our users, which will allow them to use the core WooFramework functionality to further extend their WooThemes modifications, or even use it for websites that don’t even use one of our themes. As an example, the WooCodex includes information on adding more theme options, modifying the custom write panel or bending our image / video embeds to your will. We believe that this resource now makes using these functions even easier and more accessible to the vast majority of our users.

The WooCodex is still under construction and we’ll update it as we go. Feel free to leave suggestions & feedback about the WooCodex in the forum and we’ll update it accordingly.

Otherwise, check out the WooCodex now.

    Awesome Adii! WooThemes is way ahead of other commercial theme providers.

    Cool idea! Are you guys using any special software, or are they just WP Pages?

      Nope, they’re just WordPress pages. And I’m sure that once we start making regular changes, we’ll start using WP’s built-in page versioning system to keep track of those updates.

    simply surprised about your new ideas – wow.
    Really helpful!
    This relaxes your support a bit in future – to make tutorials with screenshots and screencasts – as I said some months ago.
    Great!

    It helped me already to customize and understand the themes better.
    I just watched the Adobe CS5 Video-News and their is also Dreamweaver getting compatible with wordpress now!
    You guys lead the professional support for themes – never seen something like before. Rock on…

    Great work guys. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I see this as a huge benefit for folk like myself that are capable but a little on the inexperienced side.

    Wow, this looks really good WooTeam. The ability to easily add custom options is hot!

      It’s always been this easy to add new options though; but the WooCodex finally makes that knowledge more accessible! :)

    Could this be used to add a woovideo widget to a wootheme that doesn’t have one?

      Unfortunately the WooCodex only includes WooFramework-related knowledge at this stage, so that won’t be covered.

    Is the Codex available to folks customizing a free theme? I keep getting redirected to the registration page which redirects me to the payment page.

      No, the codex and other resources are only available to paying members.
