Zeta Reticuli v0.5 for 2.0.14

Posted by leostotch on 2006/6/17 1:29:10 (12764 reads) | Posted on Themes
Here is my very first XOOPS theme. It's not entirely finished and I'm not happy with it, but work will be calling me soon, and as I thought I could be useful for some people so I decided to release it as-is.


Please note that this theme makes extensive use of 2.0.14 features and requires 2.0.14-RC1 to work. Also, I consider this unfinished/beta work, so try it extensively and check that it works for you before using it on a public server.


Credits:
Original design by snowinmyhands-at-xoopsdesign
CSS and templates by me
Original work and technical support by skalpa: most of my work is based on his 2.3alpha themes, has been made possible by the new theme system, and he's always been here to answer my questions (honnestly with some delay, but he answered anyway), so I think he greatly deserves credits.

Download it here

Browsers compatibility:
- Firefox (tested with 1.0 - 3.0-dev)
- Safari 2.x (tested on 10.4.6, would like to know about previous versions)
- Opera 8.0+ (7.5 working with small artifacts)
- MSIE6 (Javascript required - uses Dean Edwards' brilliant IE7 library)

Features:
- Fully CSS based/floats compatible layout
- Login/User menu blocks integrated in the theme layout
- Configurable center blocks zones: both the top and bottom zones can show the blocks using L-R/C, C/L-R or L-C-R (3cols) mode
- Contains compliant/sematically correct versions of: most system templates, a few News templates, and most of CBB3.04
- Contains a few (sometimes buggy) dhtml toys (like the possibility to show/hide the left column or the notifications block)

Limitations:
- May not be compatible with old browsers (see above)
- The left column show/hide button behaves strangely on Safari (the page display gets strange, but things work correctly once you go to another page)
- The expand/collapse widget doesn't work at all in MSIE (with the left column IE freaks out so I removed the button, and on other places it should work
but I didn't take the time to bebug it correcly)
- The CBB templates rewriting is unfinished and a bit buggy, so I wouldn't recommend their use on a public server (the "click" menus don't work, and my attempt to clean up the menus/admin feature must have given birth to bugs)

Wow, that would be a killer theme for xoops.org!

Great work as always!

leostotch, really a wonderful theme.

You think release a version compatible with XOOPS 2.2.X ?

This theme could be default in 2.3

nice theme :)

and nice name too.. zeta reticuli, the name of a binary star system 1st described & mapped way back in 1961 by a couple of alien abductees.. ;) strangest thing tho is the actual star system was not discovered by astronomers at all till the late 60's.. if you believe that kinda thing..

Looks good. I wish I could get my theme(s) working.

Can't for the life of me figure out what's missing and I even followed tutorials.

One of the most stunning themes Ive seen in a long time. Classy, professional and using well designed geatures. Looking through the scripts it is clear that there has been considerable work and creativity put into this theme. I love the attention to detail especially to make the module templates fit with the style. Also the icons and images are especially well integrated.

Thanks for giving this theme to xoops. If ever I saw a theme that instantly looked 'right' as a XOOPS corporate image, this is it. If I were in charge I would get the bugs cleaned up and install zetareticuli on XOOPS ASAP. Please feel encouraged that your work is well appreciated and I hope you get the time to complete the project.

Loving Reticuli... Is there a source file on the header-logo anywhere available to make easy logo modification??
Posted: 2006/8/6 2:50 • Updated: 2006/8/6 2:50
I am using Firefox 1.5.0.6 and the 'hide column' stuff is not working for me. Some users report that the column starts out hidden, and there is just an empty column on the left side.

Also, is the column supposed to resize to zero width when you hide it? If so, that doesn't work either. The contents just disappear but leaves an empty grey column on the left. This behaviour is the same in Firefox and Konqueror 3.5.4.

If I wanted to remove the hide column feature, where do I start?
Posted: 2006/8/25 8:43 • Updated: 2006/8/25 8:43
Ok, to answer my own question, if you want to remove the buggy hide column stuff, do this:

Edit blockszone.html and replace

<{if $theme_left_toggle and !$isMsie and $zoneId eq 'xo-canvas-leftcolumn'}>
<div class="xo-blockszone zeta_Collapsible x2-secondary<{if $zoneClass}> <{$zoneClass}><{/if}>"<{if $zoneId}> id="<{$zoneId}>"<{/if}>>
<div id="leftcol-switch" onclick="zeta_switchLeftCol()">Show/hide column</div>
<{else}>
<div class="xo-blockszone x2-secondary<{if $zoneClass}> <{$zoneClass}><{/if}>"<{if $zoneId}> id="<{$zoneId}>"<{/if}>>
<{/if}>


with

<div class="xo-blockszone x2-secondary<{if $zoneClass}> <{$zoneClass}><{/if}>"<{if $zoneId}> id="<{$zoneId}>"<{/if}>>

So the second part of the <{if.. <{else.. statement is always displayed.

You don't need one: just take the header background-image (header-bg.png), stretch it horizontally, put your image/logo on top of it, and save as header-logo.png. The default logo is 260px wide, but normally other sizes should work too.

And to remove the "toggle left column" feature globally, you don't need to edit much either. If you look on top of theme.html, you'll see this:
<{* Setting this to 0 will remove the leftcolumn display toggle button on all browsers *}>
    <{
assign var=theme_left_toggle value=1}>


So, just replace the "value=1" by "value=0" and the feature will go away.

Greetings!

I just upgraded my site from 2.0.13 to 2.0.15 and thought...'Gee, lets fogeddabout this antique theme I have and find one of them funky new 2.0.14+ compatible themes'.

After some surfing I found this Zeta Reticuli and it really looks awesome. But after I had uploaded it and tested it, my forums page is completely wacky.

It contains no content at all, save the four categorie titles.

Has anyone experienced this problem? And what's a way to work around this?

Cheers,
Stryke

Indeed beautiful !!

This would be great PR for XOOPS if we use this theme for xoops.org !!

I couldn't agree more!

It is a nice theme.. but there is too much overhead for a busy site. I had to remove it from my site because of long load time complaints.
