Any way to get Site identity used here? Posted by Marc Laporte on Tue 11 of Jul, 2006 20:21 GMT-0000 posts: 38 I realize it could look weird for certain themes. How could we make it work? It would sure be nice that Site Identity be better known. M 😊

M 😊 I haven't looked at Theme Identity much, but maybe two possibilities would be a) use a separate Tiki installation in a subdirectory or subdomain here and turn on the feature, and b) just modify theme templates of the current installation to emulate the result of activating Theme Identity and rename them as new themes, like "smartiki-ti.css". I'll try to do some experimenting. -- Gary

This feature has a lot of potential to make it easier for site admins to adapt their Tiki site without modifying the templates. Maybe the best would be to have a toggle switch to turn on & off the Site Identity feature. Best regards, M 😊

I found why the new themes' top bar was not displaying — the top bar was turned off on the Admin Features page. Duh 😉 — overlooking the obvious. The other (and remaining) problem is the conflict between two PHP Layers menus, since the new themes all have one already. I'll try to modify the site identity template to check for the theme and exclude the PHP layers menu for the new themes. -- Gary

M 😊 It looks like changes made for the Site Identity demo are having a bad effect on new themes — basically, everything above tiki-mid is removed for Tikipedia, Planetfall, Kubrick and Snow. I did some checking but haven't figured out the reason why yet. But I'll keep working on it. I activated Site Identity at another site and didn't have this problem. In the meantime, people might need to switch to other themes to get all the menus, log-in box, etc. UPDATE: At a Tiki 1.9.3 site, I added a {if $style neq 'snow.css' ....} statement to the condition for showing the Site Identity header, which worked there to allow those styles to keep their normal pagetops. But the same fix didn't work here. I also tried putting an empty tiki-site_header.tpl file in templates/styles/snow/, but the normal Snow top_bar still didn't come back. I don't know what else activating Site Identity does so am not sure what to try fixing. -- Gary
