CSS Validation Issues Posted by Rick Sapir / Tiki for Smarties on Mon 15 of Sep, 2008 18:41 GMT-0000 posts: 26 With the new Tiki 2.0 default (tikineat.css) theme, I'm seeing lots of problems: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fzukakakina.com%2Fstyles%2Ftikineat.css&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en I can live with the errors caused by the Moizilla-only properties, but the Parsing errors concern me. Any idea what's going on? -R
Posted by Gary Cunningham-Lee on Tue 16 of Sep, 2008 02:29 GMT-0000 posts: 254 There was resistance to switching the Tiki 2.0 default theme to one of the new themes because, even though these were in the package for a while, they were less tested, so Tikineat (validation errors and all) remained the default theme. I never felt strongly about it because I figured Tikineat was on the way out, but unfortunately, things tend to change slowly in the Tiki world. If you check the Feb12, The News, or Darkroom themes, you'll see there are far fewer validation errors (if these are still turning up in the svn trunk versions, I'll take care of them). (The Tikinewt theme is just an implementation of Tikineat using the *litecss layout method, so most of Tikineat's css is used and so this stylesheet also has a ton of validation errors.) I never meant most of the themes in 2.0 to still be there, but that's how it turned out. Now, in trunk, Tikineat is the only old theme left and should also get the boot before 3.0 is released. Hang in there, Rick, you may yet live to see a validating Tiki installation. 😉 -- Gary
Posted by Rick Sapir / Tiki for Smarties on Mon 22 of Sep, 2008 16:36 GMT-0000 posts: 26 My big concern is that Tikineat was (is???) the default theme for a new install. Will this change in the 2.0SVN stream? If not, than IMHO we should make it validate. What theme will be used as the default for going forward? -R
