Themes: MP00 Theme is out

Posted by: hsalazaron 2003/11/10 21:02:09 5584 reads

Mesa de Pruebas proudly presents the Xoops Community its first theme, a simple, gray-blue theme with a few variations and additions:

Includes the script for hiding/showing the left/right columns.
Includes a snappy live clock
Includes variations on the theme: 760 pixels wide or full screen, left-aligned or centered, with half-width blocks on top or under the main content.

Download RAR version here Download Zip version here Cheers. UPDATE 19/11/2003: I've corrected the blocks-in-top bug and added the pertinent code to the styleNN.css file. I also used the shortcut to the background image, so the theme should be easier to emply and more universal than before.

Wow, great theme!! If you can nail down that Mozilla column resizing bug, it would be near perfect!!

Thanks for the contribution,

Re: MP00 Theme is out

An absolutely FANTASTIC theme!!! Many, many congratulations Horacio and I truly hope to see more themes like this one coming! I love it, is the least I can say. I was looking for something like this one a LONG time and now I adapted it for my personal page:

http://promote-opensource.org/panosg/

while at my main site:

http://promote-opensource.org

I use a slightly modified IMAGO one. I would use it on the main site as well, but I have many visitors that use Moz and Gecko-based browsers, so that would be a bit of a problem. Also on my personal site there is no logo yet and I also erased the <span> tags which link to the images used to activate the hide/show blocks script.

Again, an absolutely fantastic theme, fast and lightweight! Excellent work once more. The code is exemplary!

Re: MP00 Theme is out

Try adding this line in styleNN.css to fix the Mozilla column resizing bug:


td#leftcolumn {display:block;}

This worked in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030917 Firebird/0.6.1+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Untested in latest builds ATM.

One more minor problem in Mozilla 1.4. As the left column is displayed / hidden repeatedly, the margin between the left and center columns gradually increases. This is probably due to a rounding error in the rendering code of mozilla and really cannot be prevented. Later builds of Mozilla did not illustrate this problem.

Thanks for the solution. I'll make the necessariy corrections and upload a refurbished pack ASAP. Those of you who have already installed the them might want to make the necessary addition to styleNN.css yourselves. Otherwise, you can wait a bit so I upgrade the pack.

And to those of you that have provided nice comments: thanks a lot! Much of this credit goes to ackbarr, who's been very helpful in solving a lot of quirks like this one and supplying fascinating links and facts.

Soon to come: a draft of a proposed structure for the building of XOOPS themes, based in what I've written for this.

Cheers.

Re: MP00 Theme is out

Very interesting theme indeed. One thing though; is it possible to save the column state in any way so that it remembers how the user wants it? Right now it goes back to normal everytime I click on a link.
Somethink to edit in the XOOPS core? The feature is long waited for so if there is a solution it would make my day.

Re: MP00 Theme is out

you could do this with a javascript cookie. Every time the button is pressed, store if the column should be hidden or visible. Then when displaying the page retrieve that cookie set the columns accordingly

Re: MP00 Theme is out

Very nice themes. I have tried all the variations, but none of them work with the "blocksontop" themes. The front page loads, but if try try loading any module I get a blank empty center block, the right and left blocks show. Works fine with blocksonbotom--in mine anyway. I have no general blankpage problem in Xoops, I tried a debug, but nothing showing

Anyone else tested this?

The clock will only show in wfsections, I am using Explorer 6. No problem, though I will take out the clock script..

I am using the x2t template, as it allows images in topics without overlap (if the topic images are large) or having to add hard returns..

Thanks for pointing out this issue. I'll check it ASAP and reload working versions. Sigh... My eagerness to release the theme overcame my urge to double check everything. Sorry if I made you lose your time.

Cheers.

Re: MP00 Theme is out

JackJ, mgsawoo and all users affected by this:

I apologize for the bug, for it was indeed a silly bug in the files. I had actually kept a <{content}> div inside an IF declaration, when in fact it should have been outside, AFTER the declaration. Now I've tested it and it works ok.

So if you want a more flexible theme, please download it again (use the same links above). I've taken the opportunity to make a few more small changes that make the theme more flexible and usable.

Cheers.

Re: MP00 Theme is out

I have downloaded this nice theme yesterday(2003/11/20) and got 2 problems :

1. The "Live Clock" doesnt appear at top-right corner ! i mean the "live clock" doesnt appear at all on my XOOPS-Screen !!!

2. Im my Xoops-configuration i use only the right column for my all blocks. i dont need the left column. the mp00 shows an emply space there !!!

i dont sure these are bugs but i would like to have a solution for that.

And thanks for your efforts.

Sorry about the omission. Don't know what happened. I've reinstalled the files in the correct places. You can now download them from this story.

Re: MP00 Theme is out

Hy !

Hope smbd is still there ... listening ;)

Could you modify this mp00 theme and do so as to apply the same effect upon blocks, not only columns ?

And the blocks to be reduced at theit title only

10x

Re: MP00 Theme is out

Maker, This would not be so easy to do, I think. At the moment it hides left and rifgt columns as in theme_blockright.html and theme_blockleft.html

What you ask is more complex.

Re: MP00 Theme is out

I am really interested in using this theme but the link does not work.

Is there anywhere else I can download from.

Thanks,

Tim.
