baseScape 1.3.1 / photoScape 1.2.1 / eScape 1.0.4

xScape Theme Framework is updated to version 1.3.7 with even more new features and many improvements. And all themes are updated to use it. Major change is introduction of the new module called Facebook. Care to guess what this module is for?

Whether you use Facebook or not, you must admit it’s impact to the Internet and it’s almost 500 million users. So far xScape had only Like button integration. But, this version moves that into a separate module. I plan to add few more Facebook features to the framework (leave a suggestion what would you like to see next), and it’s better to keep all that in the same place. For now, Like integration is moved to module and expanded with more options including support for custom post types. BTW, baseScape theme got another style called Facebook.

IMPORTANT: Recheck all the settings after you update. If you used FaceBook Like go to Extend page and enable it from there.

Breadcrumbs are improved and few issues fixed, and also I have added setting from the title of the Home element (per suggestion). Taxonomy problem with breadcrumbs was also seen in the archive heading, and is also fixed. Problem with WordPress features like post thumbnail not being initialized is fixed.

Even more JavaScript is minimized and compacted into a single file for even more speed in website loading. xScape needs up to 4 times less external files than any other premium theme (we need 2 CSS and 1 JS files with 1 CSS for ShareThis module), some premium themes load 10 or more files. Also, some JS is compressed using new Google Closure Compiler.

I hope that I didn’t leave any bugs this time around, or at least no serious bugs,  so please report any problems. xScape 1.3.8 with new theme will be released by the end of next week. Theme will be called airScape. Soon after another theme called newsScape will follow.
