Template production impossible

It would be impossible to create templates for Joo!BB because it has been made with inline CSS within the php files for the template layouts (designs/templates/joobb) so if you create a new template it will be calling CSS from those files regardless to the changes you make in the stand alone css files

Re: Template production impossible

hi chris,

the templating system is not already done. I am working now on first beta release which will guarantee fine working functionality. in second beta I will direct my power to the design.

it is possibly that there are some hard coded css statements in php now. but this will not be the rule in future!

Joo!BB is developed on the model-view-controller architecture. that means, that program logic is detached from user interface.

if you have some suggestions making something better, you are very welcome.

regards,
robbie

Re: Template production impossible

Hi Robbie, I am willing to make some templates for when you have finished the beta release, good templates attract more people to forums imo.

heres one ive nearly finished for my own site.

Re: Template production impossible

He Chris B. your template looks amazing! do you share it with others? i would love to use this on one my page!

Re: Template production impossible

Unfortunately I wont be sharing this one Chen its for my own site only. However one the beta is released I will be making templates for JooBB for everyone to use. The reason I cant share this particular one is because there is alot of hard coded CSS which makes it impossible to distribute to other people.

Re: Template production impossible

Chris, the template looks fantastic.

Would you mind sharing the easiest way to change the background of the boxes? I've examined my source, and have tried various element selections, to no avail.

Am I going to have to hunt it down in the php file?

Re: Template production impossible

Which boxes do you mean Nomnom?

If you have been editing the CSS file you will most likely find that it makes no differance as much of the styling resides in the html/php files.


Robbie has planned the release of the beta version to call CSS from the standalone css file rather than inline, soit will be much easier to style, however let me know which boxes you mean Ill still let you know if i can help you in the mean time

Re: Template production impossible

Hi Guys,

yes, most of the template is redesigned now. Please see SVN. Most of "hard coded" styles have been moved to CSS (It is still not complete! ).

There will be also changes on moving the style folder into the template folder. I think this will be more clear and avoid assigning a style to a template for what it is not made.

Kind regards,
Robbie
