The WooThemes Blog

I was tempted to use “Beauty & The Beast” in the title to announce our two new Drupal themes, but whilst (for a moment anyway) it sounded like fun, I decided against it…

For this month’s Drupal releases, we’ve chosen a timeless classic, along with a more modern, trendier companion. Considering that we only started doing Drupal themes when we already had 50+ WordPress themes available, it’s quite a challenge every month to pick the cream of the crop from that collection to be ported to Drupal. But we believe that regardless of that challenge, we’ve chosen a pretty cool mix for you this month…

The Daily Modified Edition

When we recently came across Michael Hyatt‘s heavily modified version of Daily Edition, the whole WooTeam agreed that this was a modification done right. Extensive changes + beautiful execution = one of the best WooThemes modifications you’ll ever see.

Much of our ExpressionEngine themes up until now have been geared towards businesses, but we’re hoping to change that a bit with the release of two, awesome new EE themes: modern-magazine favourite, Daily Edition, and niche, geolocation-hotness, City Guide.

Daily Edition

We know that many of our ExpressionEngine users have been begging us to release some news / magazine type themes for the platform (as these are severely lacking in the EE-world), so we figured that in addition to all-time best-seller, Fresh News, we should release current favourite, Daily Edition.

We’re obviously just happy to make it easy for you to run a content-heavy website on whatever CMS platform you decide to do that…

City Guide

This has been one of our most innovative themes to date (and judging by the Theme Leaderboard: definitely one that is popular with our users) and we’re so excited to bring this niche functionality to the EE platform as well.  Bjorn says it was a bit of a challenge to port City Guide to EE, but we’re extremely happy with the results and we look forward to hear what you guys & girls think of the theme after you’ve had a play… this theme could be a great start for a commercial “listings-site” for instance (think of what you can do with user submissions via SAEF, custom statuses for the listings (“Waiting for approval”), and subscription payments with Membrr.. the possibilities are endless).

Custom User Messages Template

All our themes now come bundled with Brian Litzinger’s excellent Cusom System Messages extension, so never again shall we see the default EE user messages dialog (.. and yes!, we haven’t forgotten about that SEO module either! We’ll keep improving the themes).

Liam kindly spent some time with us chatting through what was involved in his recent collaboration with WooThemes on the Daily Edition theme.

I’m excited about this theme! Almost a month after teasing you with some original screenshots of Liam Mckay’s awesome design we have finally completed the conversion to a flexible, neatly coded WordPress theme. You commented, and we listened and built some awesome functionality into this theme.

Breathing some new life into the incredible success of Gazette Edition we wanted another news/magazine based theme that was minimalistic enough to let your content speak, whilst customizable enough to brand however you like. We approached our friend Liam McKay as we thought this was just up his alley, and did he impress!

We’re an excitable bunch over here at the WooThemes HQ and nothing excites us more than working with great individuals and getting to share upcoming theme concepts with you lot! This time around we’ve got a new design from now-WooThemes legend collaborator – Liam McKay – to show you…

We approached Liam in July and asked him to design a follow-up theme for the hugely popular Gazette Edition theme (which is also one of our all-time best-selling themes). The result is a superb, content-rich magazine- / news-style design titled The Daily Edition. Let’s have a look at the design…
