Theme and HTML Nugget per Category
Posted: Mon May 21, 2012 8:12 pm

I'd like my Android Category to be Green whilst the rest of the Blog appears blue.
I tried the serendipity_event_categorytemplates plugin but failed to modify (copy) the 2k11 Template I use to be able to place a different user.css in the directory and choose this copy as template for the Android category. However I end up with several double declarations if I just copy the template and rename the directory.
I'd also like to have a special HTML Nugget to appear just at the Android category. This is neither chooseable at the serendipity_html_nugget_plugin plugin nor in the serendipity_event_categorytemplates plugin.
Is there a way to achieve this?
(I'm not sure where this question belongs but I guess the solution is a plugin I missed)

I already had a look at this in rowi's blog – seems like the categorytemplates plugin does not reference the user.css properly, it "keeps" /templates/2k11/user.css. The user.css is referenced in 2k11 using
Code: Select all
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{serendipity_getFile file="user.css"}">
so maybe the plugin doesn't work well with serendipity_getFile?

is it loading BOTH user.css files - the "base" template copy of user.css plus the category specific copy?
FWIW, I too would love extending the options of HTML nuggets to only show on one or more specific categories.
@YL - unrelated to this, but how browser compatible is 2k11? We made sure bp was VERY browser compatible, back to at least IE6 I think... did you do the same with 2k11?

Suggestion: Make sure properties/templates of categories plugin is the first plugin shown in event queue.

No, just the "original" user.css.

Please, let's not hi-jack rowi's thread with this. I will post an answer to this in a new thread.

I have tried duplicating this with just bulletproof, and s9y 1.6....
- I created a new folder bpcopy2
- I copied all bulletproof files to this new folder
- I modified info.txt in this new folder and changed the name to "Bulletproof Copy 2".
- I selected this copy as the template for a specific category, then saved the category.
When I try to configure this duplicate copy of BP for a specific category, I get a nearly blank page with only this content: <h3>Theme/Style options</h3>... so I was unable to select a user stylesheet for just that category.
Viewing the actual category page view, I can see that it IS loading this bpcopy2 style.css file, and is NOT loading the site-wide bulletproof user.css file.
However, this is not 2k11, and produced an unexpected error of not being able to configure the category-specific copy of the same template.

Currently it seems to me my copy of 2k11 doesn't integrates the user.css at all.
It works if I select it for the whole Blog (although the green looks very flat compared to the original blue tone) but if selected via
serendipity_event_categorytemplates the user.css is not used.
Is the usage of user.css stored in the database and reset if I select a different template? I guess the easiest way would be to remove the check whether the user.css should be used. Since I have to edit the info.txt anyway when upgrading the template I guess it's the easiest way (for me).
Edit: I changed the defaults in config.inc.php for the used Webfont and user.css inclusion:

When editing the category 'android', are you able to configure the copy of 2k11 you are using for that category, or do you get the same error I am getting with bulletproof?

That's because it
is flat.
You're assigning one solid background color whereas 2k11's original color scheme uses a CSS3 gradient. (Yes, that's a feature still missing in the user.css generator. It's not easy to implement, especially because it requires an image to provide a fallback in browsers which don't support CSS3 gradients.)

I am not getting that error using two copies of a different template, each copy of which has functions defined in config.inc.php... only problem I have is not being able to use the template options for a category when that category's template is the same as the site template.
