I try to find which is free to use. I created this post cause I found some of them are in minimalist design, really love it,  look elegant, and feel like a premium theme.

Single Post

The model used in single post are the same as on the Index page, the different is just the total post that returned from the server. In this single post screen I put a button on the bottom toolbar for displaying comment form that will appear as a floating panel, my thought so the reader can submitting a comment after reading the post.

Download

Get Single Post: get-single.php

<?php

$posts = array();
$my_id = intval($_GET['id']);
$the_post = get_post($my_id);

$posts[] = array(
    'id' => $the_post->ID,
    'title' => $the_post->post_title,
    'permalink' => $the_post->guid,
    'date' => str_replace("-", "/", substr($the_post->post_date, 0, 11)),
    'author_id' => $the_post->post_author,
    'author' => get_userdata($the_post->post_author)->display_name,
    'content' => wpautop($the_post->post_content)
);

echo(json_encode(array('posts' => $posts)));

?>

Insert Comment: insert-comment.js, like the others submitting a comment is using ajax too, some of field are need to be hidden field like author agent and author ip, you can see on the views section.

<?php

$time = current_time('mysql');

$comment_data = array(
    'comment_post_ID'       => $_POST['post_id'],
    'comment_author'        => $_POST['author'],
    'comment_author_email'  => $_POST['email'],
    'comment_author_url'    => $_POST['url'],
    'comment_content'       => $_POST['content'],
    'comment_parent'        => 0,
    'comment_author_IP'     => $_POST['author_ip'],
    'comment_agent'         => $_POST['author_agent'],
    'comment_date'          => $time,
    'comment_approved'      => 1
);

wp_insert_comment($comment_data);

echo '{"success": true}';

?>

Controller: app/controller/Post.js, in this controller there are many button event that we have to implement button for navigation and button for reset and saving the submitted comment, these are basic comment form without validation.

// single post
single: function(post_id) {
    var singlePost = this.render({
        xtype: 'wp_touch-single'
    });
    singlePost.dataView.store.proxy.url = SINGLE_URL + '&id=' + post_id;

    // back to index
    singlePost.query('#homeButton')[0].on({
        tap: function() {
            this.index(1);
        },
        scope: this
    });

    // move to comment list
    singlePost.query('#commentButton')[0].on({
        tap: function() {
            var post = singlePost.dataView.store.data.items[0].data;
            this.comment(post.id, post.title);
        },
        scope: this
    });

    // show comment form
    singlePost.query('#addCommentButton')[0].on({
       tap: function() {
           singlePost.formComment.show();
       },
       scope: this
    });

    // submit a comment
    singlePost.formComment.query('#cSaveButton')[0].on({
       tap: function() {
           singlePost.formComment.submit({
              params: {
                  post_id: post_id
              },
              success: function(e) {
                  singlePost.formComment.reset();
                  singlePost.formComment.hide();
              }
           });
       },
       scope: this
    });

    // reset comment form
    singlePost.formComment.query('#cResetButton')[0].on({
       tap: function() {
           singlePost.formComment.reset();
       }
    });

    singlePost.dataView.store.addListener('datachanged', function() {
        var title = singlePost.dataView.store.data.items[0].data.title
        singlePost.query('#singlePostToolbar')[0].setTitle(
            BLOG_TITLE + ': ' + title
        );
    });

    wp_touch.viewport.setActiveItem(singlePost, {
        type: 'slide'
    });
},

Views: app/views/Post/Single.js, the comment form are implemented in this file, and there are some field which it have to be defined as a hidden field, and the value are from javascript variable from index.php (VISITOR_AGENT & VISITOR_IP)

wp_touch.views.Single = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel, {
    layout: 'fit',
    initComponent: function() {
        this.formComment = new Ext.form.FormPanel({

 And that all I cannot give the live demo, but you can download it and try it on the your installed local wordpress.

 Comment Form

Comment List

The wordpress theme in this post are really simple, maybe you can develop further, I only create these features: index page with pagination, single post page, comment list page, and submit comment. For sencha touch the application structure not really different from my previous post about sencha touch gallery, it MVC structure that generated using sencha command.

Setting Up Themes

The theme file structure is based on generated sencha touch command, remember to add index.php and style.css file in the theme directory, and use the wordpress theme url to include the css or javascript file, something like this

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/lib/touch/sencha-touch.js"></script>

And make sure to load other sencha touch file like style, controller, models, views. For communicating to server we will using ajax for all pages so I make the blog url for fetching ajax response stored in javascript variable, all of these script are on the index.php file

<script type="text/javascript">
    var INDEX_URL       = '<?php bloginfo("url"); ?>/?index';
    var MAXPAGE_URL     = '<?php bloginfo("url"); ?>/?maxpage';
    var SINGLE_URL      = '<?php bloginfo("url"); ?>/?single';
    var COMMENT_URL     = '<?php bloginfo("url"); ?>/?comment';
    var ICOMMENT_URL    = '<?php bloginfo("url"); ?>/?insertcomment';
    var THEME_URL       = '<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>';

    var BLOG_TITLE      = '<?php echo get_bloginfo('name') ?>';
    var BLOG_DESC       = '<?php echo get_bloginfo('description'); ?>';

    // comment attibute
    var VISITOR_IP      = '<?php echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; ?>';
    var VISITOR_AGENT   = '<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] ?>';
</script>

Now create the functions.php file inside this file create script to redirect ajax response

<?php

if ( isset( $_REQUEST['index'] ) ) {
	require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/get-index.php' );
	die();
}

if ( isset( $_REQUEST['single'] ) ) {
	require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/get-single.php' );
	die();
}

if ( isset( $_REQUEST['maxpage'] ) ) {
	require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/get-maxpage.php' );
	die();
}

if ( isset( $_REQUEST['insertcomment'] ) ) {
	require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/insert-comment.php' );
	die();
}

if ( isset( $_REQUEST['comment'] ) ) {
	require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/get-comment.php' );
	die();
}

?>

Index Page

Model: app/models/Post.js, url model set with default javascript variable, but when the index controller called the url will change cause it need for index pagination.

Ext.regModel("Post", {
    fields: [
        {name: "id", type: "integer"},

            type: 'json'
        }
    }
});

Post List: get-index.php, in this file wordpress get_posts() function used so we can easily store the posts attribute to json format, if we using for example the_author() or the_content() function it will automatically print on the page we need to use ob_start php function.

<?php

$posts = array();

$numberposts = 5;
$offset = (intval($_GET['page']) - 1) * $numberposts;

$num_posts = wp_count_posts('post');

$num_pages = intval($num_posts->publish / $numberposts);
if ($num_posts->publish % $numberposts != 0) {
    $num_pages++;
}

if ($page <= $num_pages) {

    $args = array( 'numberposts' => $numberposts, 'offset'=> $offset );
    $myposts = get_posts( $args );

    foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
        $posts[] = array(
            'id' => $post->ID,
            'title' => $post->post_title,
            'permalink' => $post->guid,
            'date' => str_replace("-", "/", substr($post->post_date, 0, 11)),
            'author_id' => $post->post_author,
            'author' => get_userdata($post->post_author)->display_name,
            'content' => wpautop(strstr($post->post_content, '<!--more-->', true))
        );
    endforeach;

    echo(json_encode(array('posts' => $posts)));
}

?>

Get Max Page: get-maxpage.js

<?php

$numberposts = 5;

$num_posts = wp_count_posts('post');

$max_pages = intval($num_posts->publish / $numberposts);
if ($num_posts->publish % $numberposts != 0) {
    $max_pages++;
}

echo $max_pages;

?>

Controller: app/controllers/Post.js, the prev pagination button is the simple one, just checking if the value is one then no more previous page, but for the next pagination we have to check the maximum page, that’s why the script get-maxpage.php needed.

    if (typeof(page) == 'object') {
        page = 1;
