Pascal
Cleanup css tags in templates.
- divs with the attribute "elegant" eg. in tiki-editquiz.php
- align tags in divs
- clear tags.
question are we willing to break existing custom themes that are out there?
needs to be properly documented - advance waring
removing all alltributes that are not xhtml compliant - forcing the removal of most attributes that cause a nuisance.
compliance tools: use zvon.org as a reference on what is valid or not.
to chack if a given tpl is valid. use the firefox developer tools extentions
themes in mods.
all themes made in themes.tiki.org and may old themes are in mods.tiki.org
for these themes to work they have to be consistent with tiki 2
lite css as base for new default theme.
default templates.
wiki template shoud have button row appear at top or botom or both.
wiki UI and site identity
can we turn on all the features and then design them so that they are not ugly together.
using JavaScript is desirable but the rule should be not to break tiki
more and more stringent guidelines are emerging for standards like accessibility.
site identity
site identity allowed certain parts of the theme to be contained in the database. this makes it much easier to upgrade sites with custom themes because the special header is defined by the database.
Basic layout
can we provide for user to pick a basic layout.
disscussion could we have different tpls for differt.
iframe
wordpress or kubrick style
discussion favors keeping to a single (if more complicated) tiki.tpl
default theme for tikiwiki 3.0
avoid forked tiki
tikiwiki should ship with
darkroom
tikinewt
thenews
simple
default theme should be the theme of the tikiwiki.org website.
default theme should be sexy and flexible because many peple should not change.
tiki.tpl should there be just one?
kubrick? rejected for simplicity
no forking of tpl's period.
move everthing possible to separate tpls so that only layout exists in tiki.tpl
background image configurable in the admin panel
