structure1_black

Post by Tata » Mon Mar 18, 2013 2:53 pm

After some diskussion with Mikey, here is a template with almost fluent responsivity. I tried to make the template as comprehensible as possible. Studying its structure both in template.htm and styhlesheet.csc, I hope you will understand how such templates are built. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Tata,
interesting template.
If I may be allowed to give some suggestions for improvement, here they are:
  • The menu has only toc(1) and no bread crumbs locator. So if you are on a 2nd level page, you have no indication were you are on the site. Especially when a visitor is on a 3rd level page, he is certainly lost in the page structure. I'd suggest to implement at least locator()
  • You use $txc['template']['text1'] and $txc['template']['text3']. Any reason you don't use $txc['template']['text2']? And you don't use sitename(). Why not?
    I' suggest to change $txc['template']['text1'] to sitename() and $txc['template']['text3'] to "text1"
  • You introduce a newsbox "blockquote" for some kind of slogan. Why not use $txc['template']['text2'] instead?
  • The text of $txc['template']['text3'] (='Text 3 for templates requiring this text') doesn't fall nicely on small screens, part of it will be positioned on top of the menu
  • You start with: <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nixie+One', but the font is not used in your stylesheet and on your template. Why?
Hope you don't mind these remarks on an otherwise interesting work

Thanks a lot, it was bubilt on an another starting template, so I have overseen some remnants. Immediately will follow the correcture.
As to the blockquote - I made it intentionally in newsbox, so the beginners won't need to enter configuration files. But the txt variable could be used there too. I probably would prefer some comments in template files explaining which sollutions may be used there.

Thanks again.
