So though I said it in the previous version that it was a dynamic theme I always felt it could be better. This WordPress theme is the result of that work.

XenDynamic 0.1.0,0.2.0 Installation Instructions
BEFORE PROCEEDING:
Please take a backup of your Wordpress, Xenforo database and files, I don't want to be responsible for you losing data because an installation/implementation goes wrong.
Prepare Xenforo:
In the zip file is a folder named: XenForo Add-on, copy the contents of the upload directory to the root of your XenForo installation.
Go to your admin control panel and install the addon using the file in the XenForo Addon-Folder named: addon-xendynamic.xml.
Prepare Wordpress:
In the zip file is a folder named: Wordpress Theme, copy the contents of the upload directory to the root of your Wordpress installation.
Go to your dashboard as an administrator in Wordpress and click on Appearance->Themes.
Click the Activate link underneath XenDynamic
After you have done this click on the Appearance->Theme Options link.
Fill out the requested information and click save options.
When the add-on was installed it added in 2 .css files as templates, XenDynamic.css and XenDynamicEXTRA.css. XenDynamic.css should only be editted on the master style and will effect the look of your WordPress theme for all styles. The other css sheet, XenDynamicEXTRA.css is what will allow you, when editted for each style to modify the looks of a single style.
The use for this is for if you have small style issues in a particular style that are effecting the way the page is rendered. Below are examples of how this was done for the Flexile and Aurora styles:

### UPDATE 0.2.0 ###
9/18/2011 Changelog
Custom Contact Forms and Auto Hide Admin Bar cause some minor jquery issues. I'm testing these out right now for a fix in the next version.
Links might be a little odd if your entire website is in a subdirectory, I've done the best I can to think of all occurences of this but you might experience this.
The only piece of html that is not generated dynamically is the breadcrumb, I had to use the HTML from the base install. For 99.9% of the styles this will be no issue, but if your style changes the html of the breadcrumbs it will have to be modified. The CSS carries over just fine.
If you are not using one of the bridges for users from XenForo to Wordpress, you will need to manually login to the Dashboard using the http://yoursite.com/wp-admin link.
I'd like to send a huge thank you out to Darkimmortal, who's Kotomi addon showed me how I could pull the templates out of the XenForo system, without that I wouldn't have been able to make this theme.
If you find this useful and use it on your site, please condsider sending a donation, I'm working as a freelance web designer right now and I am developing XenForo addons in my spare time. I hope you enjoy this release and if you have any questions, concerns or issues please post them!
