I didn't mean this to be a discussion of "mine" vs. "ours". I was trying to contribute to the thought process since I have been mostly on the receiving side of the s9y community.YellowLed wrote:So is ours.
The code is far from complete. I just barely have these concepts operational. I started with Carl's s9y 3 theme, so there is still a mountain of css to pour through. I still want to add a nav bar, some icons and a few other concepts. Topping it off is the fact that I am very much a novice at all of this. I am neither a designer nor a coder.... merely a guy with a computer that likes to tinker. You want to see things as they presently exist, or after I have had a few more rounds of fine-tuning? I tried to d/l yours for a comparison, but the link you originally posted to the ZIP file was broken when I tried it.YellowLed wrote:However, I can't really tell much from those screenshots, I need to see code So it would be great if you could zip what you have and provide a download or point us to an URL where we can see it "in action".
Sorry - thought there were some concepts worth considering for your "bulletproof" template most notably treating page width items as 3 parts - left, center, and right, and treating sidebar items as 9 parts - styling these becomes a breeze. I thought this structure might open the door to those who have considerably more design talent than myself, increasing the template base for s9y.YellowLed wrote:Anyway - it does look great, but not exactly what we're trying to do here.
If anything, what I have is likely to be very inferior to your code. I'm learning as I go, but you clearly have more experience in coding. I was merely presenting a few concepts that I had not seen discussed within this thread, but were worth considering for future templates.YellowLed wrote:You're virtually "one step further". We're trying to provide a bulletproof base code for us and other template designers to use for new templates.
