Plugins in Themes

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 23:47:59 +0000

Howdy! It appears that there are some plugins out there that may be bundled with specific themes. My understanding is that the MAKETOCBOX plugin is bundled with the Wikipedia theme (or was it Mediawiki?). There may be other plugins that are equally as useful to the Tiki community that may function just as well outside of your theme. I was wondering if the theme creators who may have created these plugins may be able to separate the plugins and contribute them on their own to the Tiki community, both as part of their theme or as a standalone plugin? Some of these are actually documented in the plugin list on doc.tw.o, but are impossible to find because they are hidden in user-contributed themes. Specifically, I'm looking for the maketocbox plugin and the files plugin. Thanks for your consideration and great work! Mike.

tiki-top_bar.tpl issuez

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 19:21:32 +0000

DearAll! Sorry in advance, it will be a little long... :) I am trying to create an own header to my site and I got stuck at a point, maybe someone can give me a hand. My goal is to have a small description of the site and a php menu on the left side and the language switch module on right side of the top bar. first i modified the tiki-top_bar.tpl - see attachment, than added this to the css to control the style (its so long because of that bloody IE can not handle the box title well..) /**** this section is ment to control the elements "topleft" and "topright" in the tiki-top_bar.tpl****/ div#tiki-top #topleft { float: left; padding: 3px; padding-top: 0; font-size: .5em; } div#tiki-top #topright { float: right; } div#tiki-top #topright .div.box { background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family: verdana, Comic Sans MS; overflow: hidden; border: none; border-radius: .7em .7em .7em .7em; -moz-border-radius: .7em .7em .7em .7em; -khtml-border-radius: .7em .7em .7em .7em; } div#tiki-top #topright .div.box-title { color: blue; font-size: 1.1em; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Comic Sans MS; text-align: center; padding: 3px; overflow: hidden; } div#tiki-top #topright .div.box-title table { width: 95%; font-size: 1.1em; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Comic Sans MS; background-color: green; border: none; margin: 2px; padding: 2px; border-radius: .7em .7em .7em .7em; -moz-border-radius: .7em .7em .7em .7em; -khtml-border-radius: .7em .7em .7em .7em; } div#tiki-top #tiki-top #topright .div.box-title table td { color: #000000; } /* And this is the data */ #tiki-top #topright. div.box-data { background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-size: 1em; font-family: Verdana, Sylfaen, Tahoma, Comic Sans MS; padding: 3px; } Now I have 2 issues: 1: if the module has not been assigned to a group in the admin section than there are no languages listed in the dropdown list, although the module box itself is present. When I assign the module ie to anonymus group, the available languages are listed in the dropdown.. I tried it with different modules, all the same, the box if present, the content not..what do I have to do in order to have it shown without assigning? I do not want to duplicate it, the aim was to have it only on the top bar 2: this is rather about the css.. look how different they look like.. in IE and in FF - see the attachment.. Firefox does not seem to react to my wish to have the module box styled different than the rest of the module boxes..and IE does notice the difference!! (:eek:) this is usually the other way around (:wink:) Probably I am missing something in the css but I donnow what and where.. help me out please if you can, many thanks, cheers, Gezza

Module title problems in IE & firefox

Fri, 26 May 2006 08:21:22 +0000

DearAll! I have a problem with the module title in the theme I am working on, maybe someone can help me find the cause: right now it looks like this: div.box-title background-color...... : #FFFFFF color................. : green border................ : 1px solid grey font-family........... : verdana, Comic Sans MS font-size............. : 18px font-weight........... : bold text-align............ : center padding............... : 3px text-decoration....... : none border-radius......... : .5em .5em .5em .5em -moz-border-radius.... : .5em .5em .5em .5em -khtml-border-radius.. : .5em .5em .5em .5em In IE I have a !green! border and !normal! !black! approx 14px high fonts. The font seems to be the classic unformatted font-style as if there was nothing defined for it.. As far as I know I should see big bold green fonts in a rounded grey bordered box in firefox. The box is ok, but the color of the font is still black /but it is bold, that is ok/ I have deleted the cache, the temp files in IE and FF but this time it was not the case.. What else is affecting the module title style?? please help me if you know.. tnx&cheers, gezza

Getting kubrik & planetfall via Tiki mods

Sun, 30 Apr 2006 16:39:48 +0000

Hi Gary! I tried to install kubrik & planetfall via mods in just released Tiki 1.9.3.1 !kubrik: ^Warning: copy(mods/themes/kubrick/themes/kubrick/kubrickheader-original.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\test1931gz\lib\mods\modslib.php on line 375 themes/kubrick/themes/kubrick/kubrickheader-original.jpg to templates/styles/kubrick/kubrickheader-original.jpg impossible to copy^ !planetfall: It installed nicely from mods. However, after, when I activated phplayermenu, I got locked out of the site: ^LayersMenu Error: setMenuStructureString: empty string.^ I think mods is gonna be a very interesting way to distribute themes while keeping development centralized in CVS. Thanks!!!!! M ;-)

Inconsistent Compatibility

Sun, 26 Mar 2006 19:52:33 +0000

I've asked people to check [http://jonathanscommunity.com], and gotten very inconsistent feedback. In a nutshell: Win/IE: Sometimes works, sometimes displays with horizontal scrollbar. Win/Firefox: Appears to work. Linux/Firefox: Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't load. OSX/Safari: Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't load. I've used it successfully with Win/IE, Win/Firefox, and Linux/Firefox. I've pasted below what people have emailed me when I asked them to check if [http://jonathanscommunity.com] works with their browsers: -- I'm having trouble getting the page to load at all in Safari on my mac. It also doesn't want to load on firefox on Gentoo. It may be some strange problem with my DSL line, but it has been over a minute and it still isn't fully loaded. :-( I'll see if I can take a look from work - maybe it will load sufficiently fast for me to look at it there.... -- It seems to work fine on my computer (Mac), using Safari. [OT question deleted] -- And it works on mine, too.

Horizontal scroll woes

Fri, 24 Mar 2006 18:54:19 +0000

I have a draft site at http://jonathanscommunity.com/ , which scrolles under IE and Firefox at 1024x768. The page has text and nothing else (i.e. no big images). What may be related to the problem was that an item which contains three columns has been set to have a colspan of 3 instead of 0. was changed to because the center column was squashed to the right so that it looked like a second right column (under IE). What can I do to prevent horizontal scrolling while not recreating the earlier problem? I tried deleting the colspan attribute, but that didn't help. P.S. Deleting the width element (as below) made half the right-hand column visible under IE, but did not fix it, and fixed it under Firefox: ++ Jonathan Hayward, [jonathan.hayward@pobox.com] ** To see an award-winning website with stories, essays, artwork, ** games, and a four-dimensional maze, why not visit my home page? ** All of this is waiting for you at [http://JonathansCorner.com]
