Netstreams Skin Information
About
This skin is still under developement. That means that in new versions may change lots of things. The most recent version you can see at http://devel.netstreams.org. The Developement-Wiki you can find @ http://cms.netstreams.org.
Features
- Skin Sections
- The skin consists of several sections: All sections are wikipages, so easy editable
- 3 column layout
-
- Site Directory: Shows the content of the site (can be used for links to Group Homepages)
- Content
- Group Directory: Shows the content of a group (can be used for links to pages in the current group)
- Horizontal Navigation
- HorizontalNav highlights the active group
- Variable Page Size
- The content column has a variable width (also in editmode), so its easy to display big contents like diagrams
- Show/Hide Skinsections
- support of (:noheader:) (:footer:) (:noleft:) (:noright:) (problem see skinsections below, I have to find a solution . . ...)
- Pagetemplates
- Use of templates for new pages (if a template exists). This will look in the Site group for a template page matching the name of the current page. Thus Site.GroupConfigurationTemplate would be used for any page named "GroupConfiguration", Site.HomePageTemplate would be used for any page named "HomePage", etc. Of course, if there's no matching Site.*Template page, then no template is used.
- Related Pages
- For each group you could define related pages which shows up as tabs in the right upper corner
- userspecific actions(edit, upload, ...)
- showing only the actions the user is allowed to perform (for UserAuth / AuthUser)
Developement
Todo
- Presentation Category
- If a users tags a page with PmWiki/Categories the page will be formatted as silde (big letters, no header, sidebar and Horizontal Nav).
- Suport for MultiLanguage
- This means, that all skin related text and images (tooltip) will have a multilanguage support and (mainly for admin reasons) the language can be changed with a simple link. To have an equivalent of for a page in several languages (and possability to administer it) is an other thing.
- colorscheme for formelements
- all form elements (text, area, submit) should have the same colorscheme
- finished: editform
- todo: upload (file location, file button) dont know how to style :-(
- todo: tabled layout authuser login
- Opera floating bug
- opera displaces floats see: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/tests/opera_float.html
- redesign sidebar css
- del.icio.us feeds and tagclowds, table of content, ... dont look realy useable with the current css :-(
Not knowing how to solve . ..
- skinsections
- <!--PageXXXFmt--> skin sections cant be nested . . .. so I can show hide left/right sidebar ore pageactions but not both . . . .
Bugs
If you find any bugs, please put them here . ...
I'm getting 5 errors during W3C validation. Will this be fixed? The old version is error free.
- never mind, the problem was that there isnt a ! before DOCTYPE.
- Sorry I was out of office. The next version will be finish thil end of the week, thanks for the hint noskule June 20, 2006, at 06:59 AM
- HELP!I'm trying to integrate the header into a forum, but IE6 has bad alignment. Opera and Firefox work fine though.
- Never mind. I managed to fix it using a bunch of conditional CSS statements.
Under consideration
new features which you would like to see realized . . ..
- ability to choose the content of the right sidebar, for example: groupdirectory, page table of content, pagelist, ...
- fixed left/right sidebar (if the content is bigger than the page a scrollbar should appaer). This needs a div based redesign . . . ..
Suggestions
suggestions please put here ... .
- text is to small an needs more contrast
- I change this for the next version, and will make changes in the css as easy as I can do
- DaveG: I'm not sure, but I suspect it's not good practice for skins to be placing files in wikilib.d -- particularly config files. (15-March-2006 18:28)
- The install instructions don't mention the files in wikilib.d. This mechanism can't be used in a Farm environment. Putting them in wiki.d works...
- I did this in my first installation. After that PM did mention that updates would overwrite existing files, so this would be bad, the other solution would be make an own wikilib.d directory for the skin. This sould support farms and dont overwrite files. I added this for the next release, thanks for the hint noskule March 17, 2006, at 05:05 AM
- I love how this looks. But my page uses commentbox at the bottom of it, and it seems to duplicate itself, showing up twice on the bottom of the page. Doesn't do that with other templates. kab April 25, 2006 at 2:02pm BST
- Dou you use the commentbox in the GroupFooter? If yes try the code listed in the Bugs Section. Hopefully this works .. ., In a couple of days we release a new version. grz noskule May 04, 2006, at 04:10 PM
- bug code worked great - except the br-footer.png shows up as little circles on each bottom corner. I commented it out in netsteams.css and it looks fine. - Thx kab May 18, 2006 at 11:12am BST
