Re: Re: Re: Re: TikiWiki 1.10 Help! Top-menu.tpl? Strange behavior

You can see an updated Kubrick here (well, some details not quite there yet): http://zukakakina.com/kubrick and the column-hiding does seem useful though it'd be up to the site admin and users whether to use it or not. I like being able to expand the center column when page editing and so on.

There's a handful of other themes there that will be available for 1.10 but I'm still doing the details and also more or less waiting for the 1.10 beta/rc release so not to have any compatibility problems.

Actually I've changed (simplified) parts of tiki.tpl for Kubrick/1.10, using fewer images for the header and so on, and I'm trying to use the same templates for a number of themes rather than each doing things slightly differently, as much as possible. The basic approach I've been taking is outlined on Tiki_110_Theme_Ideas. For themes like Kubrick, I can't get away from at least one table due to IE7's lack of display:table support, so I'm using a layout like the one described on http://zukakakina.com/Type2+Themes for themes with "fixed-width" content areas and side margins.

For full-width liquid designs, I'm using a table-less method as described on the Tiki 110 Theme Ideas page. This was used for earlier versions of Andreas09, Mittwoch, absE, Fluid Index, etc., and I intend to use it again for the 1.10 versions.

(The only 1.10 thing I haven't been able to figure out so far for the liquid, no-table theme layout is the side-column show/hide + center widening. Adapting the default mechanism works OK to turn on and off the column display, but the center div doesn't automatically expand to fill the space the way a table cell does. Some inline CSS is needed to switch the center div's margin property, I guess, but I don't know how to do both the side-column display switch and the center div margin switch in one click. I'll ask luci (*litecss author) about that, or if you have javascript skills you might take a look at that. wink.)

I intend to put the GPL/LGPL themes I do (or port) in Tiki's CVS (mods). Kubrick and a few others are already there, but while people have modified the files for their own use (generally downloaded from this site) nobody's updated the files in CVS, as far as I know. It'd be good to use the repository more if people are going to be working on the theme files with distribution in mind.
