Guys - I never received ftp details. I'm not sure that even bothers me at the moment. I am concerned about revisions getting out of hand. I think they need to be maintained by a single source, much as YL has been doing up until now. I suggest he be the only one to continue to modify the "official" version.
I have been working my grey colorset revisions into the purple one as a starting point. Most/all of these revisions need to find their way into the blue and green colorsets as well. The vast majority of these changes do not change the overall appearance, but rather make the css much cleaner.
In the process, I discovered a rather interesting IE problem. The problem surfaces in sidebar navigation (ie #sbsitenav) and its components. For reference, look at this image:

The title floating above the nav components is easy to solve in css, and I have done that (again - all negative margins have been eliminated).
However, turns out that this IE problem is NOT css for a change, it is HTML. Seems to be a white-space issue, and you can get more info here:

The net interpretation as it relates to our code is that, for ALL instances of sidebar navigation, the entire <UL> *MUST* exist on a single line (there is actually another way to handle it, but this works best). No breaks, no spaces. Nothing.
YL - cut and past this exactly as it appears into index.tpl... again, single line, no spaces, no line feeds, nothing - just a single line!!! For each instance of sidebar navigation.
Code: Select all
<ul>{foreach from=$navlinks item="navlink"}<li{if $currpage==$navlink.href} class="currentpage"{/if}><a href="{$navlink.href}" title="{$navlink.title}">{$navlink.title}</a></li>{/foreach}</ul>
I will wrap up my other changes to the purple stylesheet, then forward that to Dave. It will have a comment line for everything I propose changing complete with the rationale, so Dave can decide whether or not to make those changes. The exact same changes can then be made to the green and blue stylesheets, assuming, the changes are appropriate to those stylesheets.
Anyway, this stuff might not sound like a lot, but this has been 2 solid days of hard won modifications that I believe seriously improve the integrity of BP.
EDIT: I also suggest a comment be placed before this code explaining the need for it to remain on a single line.
I probably won't get much done over the weekend. However, I'll be back monday with some test results. Have a good weekend, guys.
