Re: Noble warriors of Tiki rollout development UNITE

posts: 10 United States

Wow - what a BEAUTIFUL site - this is truly a professional development of Tiki and shows what the software can do... but only after a truly difficult and time-consuming revision of the styles and templates.

Be sure to copy any modified templates to styles/templates/your-style-name - this will prevent them from being overwritten if/when you upgrade.... (but I'm sure you know this).

I am personally in favor of discarding all the existing Tiki style sheets and templates for Tiki 2.0, in favor of:

  • Going through the templates and eliminating all duplicate styles. For example, there are about 25 or 30 separate styles for odd/even tables. This is ridiculous and makes the rollout developer's task a nightmare.

  • Creating a new, standard, 'official' style sheet that takes full advantage of CSS inheritance (which the current style sheets do not). The style sheet should be reoorganized by FUNCTION rather than FEATURE so that rollout developers can achieve style consistency.



Take a look at my development site (http://pfaff.tcc.virginia.edu/stshome)... I developed the underlying style/template matrix as a possible 'standard' for Tiki 2.0...

Best,
Bryan
