Authoring suite templating

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 2:49 pm

Hi !
It looks as though the layout.php isn't used for the authoring and administration suites. I wanted my modified styles/layout also applied to this part of the site, but I had to edit :

serendipity_admin.php
serendipity_entries.php
serendipity_layout.inc.php
serendipity_layout_table.inc.php

to make sure everything was allright (in fact I grepped and then replaced everything so I'm not sure all this files have to be changed, but I'm quite sure the two first need to)
I was wondering if I missed something in the beginning (my philosophy : act first, ask questions after

). I also assume that each upgrade will overwrite my changes again ...

Thanks !
PS1 : I'm using v.0.6-pl2
PS2 : I changed the default theme, and after a while there were too many changes to track. So I build a new theme upon serendipity_v2. If you wanna take a look go to http://www.nussbrothers.net/seb/
If you wanna use the theme just go ahead and download it at http://www.nussbrothers.net/seb/res/template_nussi.zip

You are right, our admin area is rather fixed. However you can style most things quite well with CSS.

As you may be able to spot, all the <body> tags have custom CSS ids (I hope this feature is already in 0.6, and not the > 0.6.1-CVS). Like the admin entries page has 'serendipity_admin_page'. So you could style that all in the styles.css file:

Code: Select all

#serendipity_admin_page h1 {
color: red;
}

and so on. Maybe that helps you?

On the long run, we need to implement a template which act similar to layout.php.

BTW, the files 'serendipity_layout_table.inc.php' and 'serendipity_layout.inc.php' are only there for backwards compatibility. On new versions those two files serve no purpose.

About your template: That looks very neat! I would love if you add it yourself to the list of our themes on http://www.s9y.org/51.html -- that wiki page is also writeable for users. You can easily see how the other templates are inserted there, you can add yours...if you want, that is.

Nobody does that for constructive feedback. I have fun answering those requests or questions, so never mind.
