lizi: Hi everybody
chibaguy are you here ?
I wanted to ask you, are you the author of the undergroud theme ?
Have you noticed the problems I was talking about the other day ?
chibaguy: Hi lizi
I'm not the original author, but I adapted it for Tikiwiki
Sorry but what problems, again?
lizi: errr. various things :D
divs are the wrong size, position of left and right column seems weird, etc
oh and the "apply" buttons in the admin panel appear outside the div. just an example
chibaguy: Can you look at http://themes.tikiwiki.org/Underground and see if that page has the same problems with layout?
Actually Underground originally is only two columns, left and center. I added the right column, too, for sites to have the option, but the theme works best with just left and center.
lizi: it does have the same problems
chibaguy: The margins in the stylesheet are optimized for left + center only. This is in the readme.
lizi: I can't test everything though
chibaguy: What browser are you using?
lizi: ff3
chibaguy: OK, same as I use for testing.
lizi: it may be I am too demanding
the theme is quite good looking, it just has these annoying little things.
Maybe it's because I'm a girl :D
chibaguy: not necessarily
lizi: My bf says there's too much fancy stuff and I should stick with the neat theme :P
chibaguy: the neat theme is crap
(imho)
;-)
lizi: btw, the theme doesn't validate. I believe it says "Title" instead of "title"
chibaguy: OK, I'll run it through the validator again.
Did you try hiding the right column? (using the link on the themes.tw.o/underground page)?
lizi: it's on the line that says design by st5yleshout
I'll try now. but I like the right column
chibaguy: Ah, the santizing script hit that -- it can get out of control.
or else a typo by me.
You mean you like all three columns? In that case the margins or padding should be reduced. I should do a doc page on that.
(uh, maybe that's your typo -- "st5yleshout"? 14:35 above?
lizi: thats my typo
chibaguy: ok
lizi: <a href="http://www.styleshout.com/" Title="Design by Styleshout">Underground</a> </div>
see the title attribute
***: Timothy has joined #tikiwiki
Timothy has left
chibaguy: Yes, what's the problem?
or question?
lizi: the T doesn't validate :D
chibaguy: ah, ok, thanks.
I'll fix it.
Well, I'm interested to know specifically what problems you see with the layout, etc.
lizi: i removed the right column and I still have all the same problems
chibaguy: I know these themes aren't perfect. When I commit them to the repository, it's kind of like, ok, here it is to use and improve if anyone wants to....
I'm steadily finding things to fix, and do updates a few times a week usually.
lizi: hmm it's a bit difficult to describe all this stuff
the original theme wich i just found on styleshout is fine
it sucks very much because it's only using a fifth of my monitor, but everything else is fine
in fact, your code is gpl, right?
but their design has some sort of annoying license
i was thinking maybe I'd roll my own based on your code, and repair the stuff I dislike
then post it on TW
what do you think ?
chibaguy: Their code is Creative Commons Attribution, which means you can do whatever you like with it as long as you leave a link to their site.
Well, it'd be great if you wanted to do your own adaptation. Of course, if there are problems with this theme, they should be fixed, too.
lizi: well their code is the css, is that right ?
the tpl is yours
in fact i should check :D
chibaguy: Yes, I get their css file and look at their page html, then adapt to Tiki.
...kind of map their css selectors to Tiki's, and especially in this theme the header area is quite different from the (my) standard Tiki, so site-header.tpl and maybe tiki.tpl had to be changed some.

the css doesn't validate either btw :P
***: Wilkins has joined #tikiwiki
lizi: are there any good tutorials for making TW themes from scratch ?
or documentation ?
chibaguy: I haven't checked the validation in a while, so will again.
Well, there's a little documentation, but it's out of date.
:-|
I wrote this up a while back as background for the way I approach themes, and the path I recommend: http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Tiki_110_Theme_Ideas
(General layout considerations, etc.)
I generally start with this CSS file: http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Tikiwiki2_CSS_selectors
It has selectors for *litecss-based themes (no table for main layout) and also for table-using layouts such as Kubrick, Dark Shine, etc., in mods.
lizi: ok
chibaguy: It also has color placeholders. This isn't perfect, but helps avoid light-on-light contrast problems.
And it consolidates colors to some extent.
I update this file from time to time as new selectors are added to the templates.
For template files, there isn't an actual set that's a model. For full-width themes, I recommend the *litecss method for the reasons stated in that wiki page. You can use the files from /templates/styles/thenews or /darkroom or /feb12 , etc. They're all pretty similar if not identical.
I use Firefox and the Firebug add-on to examine theme's pages in progress, or to check the original if I'm doing an adaptation.
It is possible to do a new theme by making a stylesheet only, but in this case it will use the default template files. The default files in Tiki 2 are "old style", so using the tpls of one of the themes I mentioned will be more in line with what's planned for Tiki3.
Actually I added the color properties to the model CSS file to help avoid dark-on-dark contrast problems. People add colors to templates or CSS files assuming the the background is always white/near-white and the text is always dark.
-- engineers..... ;-)
Doing some docs on theme-making is high on my to-do list.
lizi: what's the body.jpg in ohia for ?
chibaguy: IIRC, I wanted a background for the header and footer areas that wasn't a solid color, so used an image. The reason I made it the body background is that when pages widen enough for a horizontal scrollbar, IE doesn't redraw the header bg, so it looks weird to me, only going as wide as the initial page width.
(Now I'm noticing FF3 doesn't widen the body background image on widening pages, so I need to keep checking on this.
)
IE will apply the body bg image full-width even when the page widens.
lizi: just saying this because body.jpg doesn't look like the body background
or maybe I'm using 2 different versions
chibaguy: There's only one version as far as I know.
But div#middle has a dark gray background, so body.jpg doesn't show completely.
Well, this was kind of an experiment. I made the header and footer transparent-background and sort of guestimated window heights where the body.jpg would show through the way I wanted. It's pretty rough.
(I mean bg image placement is a bit loose relative to things on top of it. But it never actually "breaks".)
lizi: might be a good idea to reduce the jpg then
chibaguy: It's only 1.19KB.
lizi: 1 KB too large muahahahaha
I was thinking about using ohia to do a plone-like theme
that's why I've been looking around :D
chibaguy: Ah, one other point on the bg image. . .
A more or less totally red image would worked well for the header/footer backgrounds, but on slow page loads I didn't want early-arriving text to not have the gray background, so I made the middle band of the bg image dark.
btw, what is a plone-like theme?
lizi: the footer isn't an image it's just plain red
plone.org
chibaguy: ah, I forgot to update the img name in the css file.
lizi: hmm maybe not
after reducing the menus the page is now shorter and i can see a different red
below the "powered by TW" box thingy
chibaguy: Yeah, the footer bg color, not image was being used.
I just corrected it.
PS|bot: SVN: Commit by chibaguy :: r 15248 /mods/trunk/themes/ohia/styles/ohia.css: [FIX] Wrong footer bg image name corrected.
chibaguy: Well, it's ok except the show php errors bg needs fixing.....
Hmm, specifying a footer bg color/img conflicts what I said about them being transparent, so maybe I need to recheck my notes, etc.
lizi: do you know if it is safe to use png (any type) on the web nowadays ?
without javascript hacks for IE ?
chibaguy: IE6 doesn't recognize alpha transparency in png.
So uses a gray instead.
Notice some of Tiki's icons.
lizi: do people still use IE6 ?
chibaguy: Plenty, unfortunately.
lizi: hmm well, blast em
chibaguy: I gotta go now. Will try to get back later. Thanks for pointing out the probs, etc.
lizi: ok :)

yes, the shoutbox is active, and it's module is added for all groups

what version of tw are you running?

ricks99: is there a way to iterate a {foreach ..} loop in ABC order? i want to modify cateobjects.tpl to show the objects in ABC order
i know i can assign a sort order from the php, but i'd rather find a way in the TPL so my upgrades are easier
something like {foreach ... order=ascending} maybe?

is there many cms out there witten with zend
