CB RC2 Templates

Got it installed and it looks good. The only thing is the background where it lists when the member joined and if they are online or not is not white.

The connections view likes to jump out of its position. After moving the mouse pointer off the tab it snaps right back into position.

This shot was taken from Mozilla 1.5. It seems that both browser showed differently but i made it work best with IE.

I'm currently try to hack the CB so that the template css file will overwrite some of the settings such as tabs placements, disable the user profile page title so that can create new class for user page title in template css.

Also im trying to create template selector plugin with sample image, user-defined templates whereby all user within site can choose their preffered template. All their information shall be stored in the DB table.

As for now, if anybody can help me test out the template & help me in creating plugins for template selector, please share it with us within this forum.

- Very nice work going on on this template.

- Using inheritence and imbricated element names in CSS (like in CSS reference manuals or other examples in other CB CSS templates), you should be able to fine-tune your template without hacking: e.g.:

.classnameabc div p

- We have on purpose left the basic control of positioning things to the site admin and not to the template designer, the template should normally accomodate to the placement.

- As we use floating divs (and not tables) to place the different elements on the page, and the CB template CSS classes/ids for the positioning, you should be able to do pretty much any placement controls (like inverting left and right) in the template itself.

- Look at the generated html code and in the template css file to see how the positioning is done, without tables for accessibility (I'm very positively surprised myself that the move from tables to divs has not been a problem at all, accross all the browsers used).

- Yes, cross-browser support for the default CB templates has taken days (if not weeks) of work, as they do not all inherit in the same way. :S

ok, it gets more complicated. Ive tested the template changer drop down list and it works. The problem is it changes for all users template. So now i understand, i need to create a script that create a data for each user for their preferred tab. This one is hard for me to code but hope CB developer can help me with this. Besides that, it would be great if CB Stable realese got this function. If one of the CB developer read this, please response to this threat whether they intrested to do this.

- Probably a "user"-type plugin with an event handler could do the trick to associate a given CB template with a given joomla template.

- Regarding the user-dependant selection, a joomla mambot will probably be needed.

Yes, this 1 is not handled by my css template. This one is handled by your mambo/joomla template css. Go to your template_css.css and edit it. Find the line that contains sectiontableentry1 & sectiontableentry1.

But thanks 4 the reply, i'll try create a background there for those of you using no background for sectiontableentry in mambo template css.

Would you mind telling me what browser your using together with mambo version. Thanks. I'll try repair the bug.
