[03:22] chibaguy : has you worked with tw themes? [03:22] yes [03:22] hi ildefonso [03:22] hi! [03:22] I got a problem..... [03:23] i'm trying to create a custom theme, where I have to modify, well, pretty much all..... [03:24] this far: I have been able to create the theme (.css file), and applied some changes, but now, I'm trying to modify the menu bar style, and tried this: {menu id=43 css_id=main-menu} [03:25] but then, the generated html code is ignoring the "css_id" from here, and is just printing:
and then the menu options and
.... [03:26] any idea? [03:26] this is tw 3.3 [03:26] chibaguy , are you still there? [03:27] I haven't ever used an id for the custom menu.... [03:27] Is that in the docs? [03:28] actually.... [03:28] in the page where you create the menu in the tiki admin. [03:28] *** macnific has quit IRC () [03:28] tiki-admin_menus.php [03:28] and there it says: To customize the menu's CSS id (#): {menu id=X css_id=custom_name} [03:29] if you look at your page source, does the menu id get used? [03:29] no. [03:29] and that's precisely the problem. [03:29] anyway, let's assume that this feature isn't working: what other options do I have to change the menu's style? [03:29] how about just using the css that the menu's context requires? [03:29] *** franck has quit IRC () [03:30] because, right now, it is using: clearfix, which is used, well, almost everywhere. [03:30] yeah, that's just a class to get the floated menu items cleared. [03:30] a utility [03:30] like [03:31] where is this menu being used, in the top bar? [03:31] yes. [03:31] top bar. [03:31] well, is there any need to give it a unique id? [03:32] why not just the selectors based on its location? [03:32] ok... I got lost.... what are "selectors". [03:32] in the themes I do, I generally have a global set of rules for cssmenus, then some for #tiki-top, and some for .box-data. [03:32] by that I mean classes or ids. [03:33] oh, I see. [03:33] that was my next point. [03:33] you could look at one of the existing stylesheets to see. [03:33] for menus, the basics are defined in ./css/cssmenus.css [03:33] I was able to get the style pretty close, by using: {menu id=43 css=y type=horiz} , but then... [03:33] then themes can override [03:34] it uses the styles from css/cssmenu.css (I think). [03:34] right [03:34] but themes add their own coloring etc [03:34] then, I take that stylesheet, and paste it into my theme, and it will correctly override? [03:35] it should@more or less, but other rules in your stylesheet will also have an effect, such as the global rule for a, a:link, etc. [03:35] ok. [03:35] which may have to be redefined for .cssmenu_horiz a, etc. [03:36] ok. [03:36] now, another question, you know the "top bar", and the "middle" (where the page's text is) [03:36] yah [03:37] how do I define an style for the middle, and not for the top, I changed the clearfix when texting (and before realizing what it was) [03:37] and it applied the style, but also applied to the top bar and others..... [03:37] how to define a style for the middle only? [03:38] currently, tw is generating this div for middle:
[03:38] well, first I'd install the firebug add-on for firefox, if you don't have it already. [03:38] I have it. [03:39] well, it should show the div that contains all of the middle area.

[03:39] called div id="middle" iirc [03:40] divs can have more than one class, and also an id [03:40] *** sylvieg has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** mose has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** Bamieater has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** olinuxx has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** danopia has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** CIA-50 has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** Tikiwiki|bot has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** Sug4r` has joined #tikiwiki [03:40] *** irc.freenode.net sets mode: +o sylvieg [03:40] that's the div. [03:40] but it is currently using class="clearfix" [03:41] as I told you, I'm new to css, so... [03:41] I'm not sure if I can create something like clearfix:middle ..... [03:42] well, it'd be good to check out a tutorial or overview on using css. [03:42] you can ignore the clearfix class [03:42] any recommended reading? [03:42] *** ibrrorg has joined #tikiwiki [03:42] not offhand, but I'm sure there are lots of good introductions. [03:43] just google [03:43] *** chealer has joined #tikiwiki [03:43] i have just installed tiki it put 3.1 and then had me update the dbases) i see there is a 4.0 version. all i have are 3 trackers and my 'profile' settings. is it worth me upgrading yet or should i wait awhile. thanx [03:44] ok, so, let me get this clear: I just ignore the clearfix class, and create something like #middle in the css? [03:44] ibrrorg, if you don't have much data or complex configuration settings, it'd probably be fine to upgrade. [03:45] ildefonso: yes. [03:45] thanx! [03:45] *** ibrrorg has quit IRC (Client Quit) [03:45] ok... css looks simpler that I thought... [03:45] yeah, fundamentally it's pretty simple. [03:46] you know, I have been running away from css for far too long, I'm not a serious web developer, so.... [03:47] ok, # are for id and "." are for class??? [03:47] go to http://www.w3schools.com/css/ and play with their online examples. [03:47] to see how things work [03:47] weeee!!!! thanks! [03:47] that's the level of question you should answer yourself by working through a tutorial, etc. [03:47] :-) [03:48] when it comes to tikiwiki specific problems, that's where i come in. :-) [03:48] yeah, but I was too confused to even draw the line between tiki and css... [03:49] ok, so after some exposure to CSS basics, the tiki stuff will be a lot clearer. [03:51] now, the: To customize the menu's CSS id (#): {menu id=X css_id=custom_name} <--- on the page: tiki-admin_menus.php should really be reviewed, it looks like it was *the solution* for the menu thing (fastest solution) .... [03:52] because that way one can, easily, have different styles for different menus. [03:52] thanks a lot chibaguy! now: reading. [03:53] actually the menus do have different ids, but they are assigned automatically by the script. you can find them in the page source. [03:53] they are based on the menu id number. [03:54]
