How to Add New Templates – Luxuos / Breathe

The Luxuos theme framework allows a very easy method to create new template files, partly because it doesn’t split up the templates into separate files – each template is a self contained entity with a few php tags thrown in, so if you are comfortable in html you should have no problems .

The Procedure

1) Identify the template files, these are in the theme root directory and have descriptive names such as ‘Single-Column.php’, Single-Column-No-Footer.php’ etc

2) Duplicate the templates you wish to create modified versions of, and give them a suitable name

Open the new file(s), and modify the code at the top.. For example the ‘Single-Column.php’ contains:

/*
Template Name:Single-Column
*/

$GLOBALS['content_width']="large"; //for portfolio use
$GLOBALS['template']="Single-Column";
get_header();

Here you replace ‘Single-Column’ with the new name of the file (minus the .php extension) for example, if you named the new template ‘Single-Column-Modified.php’ you would change the code to:

/*
Template Name:Single-Column-Modified
*/

$GLOBALS['content_width']="large"; //for portfolio use
$GLOBALS['template']="Single-Column-Modified";
get_header();

The content_width global variable is just for portfolio use, it is either medium or large
(medium for 2 column pages, large for full width).

This template will now be automatically included by the theme and available either via the theme settings panel (such as assign a template to all posts, all pages etc) or override a specific page from that page’s edit page dropdown.

You can grab the Luxuos .psd for free here. Feel free to use it for anything except for making templates or themes for resale. – i.e. you can use it for a commercial site. A shoutout via Twitter or a credit somewhere would be greatly appreciated, but it isn’t necessary.

Of course, it seems silly putting all that work in slicing and converting to HTML / WordPress when you can grab the WordPress version for $45 here , and get all the shortcodes, widgets and shinies (mm shinies) thrown in. (Don’t forget the great support too!)
