[Phpwebsite-developers] Multiple themes for one site

[Greg M. <cap...@ya...>]

Hello everyone,
 
I've got a client who wants to have a different look to a few sections of a website I'm helping create for them.  I had wanted to use phpwebsite for this site, but now I'm not sure if I can.  I had thought about using branches to achieve the multiple themes, but I don't think that's going to work because branches can't share data.
 
I remembered Wendall's W3C theme, but that appears to just change the stylesheet and not the layout.  (Yes, unfortunately, they want a layout change as well.)
 
Has anyone played around with this idea?  I don't know if I could do fancy things in the theme.php file to help achieve this for them.  I was just throwing this question out there to see if others have tried this or know of how this is possible.
 
I pretty sure you're going to tell me that I'm up a creek without a paddle, but I figured it's worth a shot.
 
Thanks in advance!
Greg

Greg,

There may be a way to do this with some experimentation. There would be
a bit of code that needs written to grab request vars to see what theme
to display. I'm not so sure it wouldn't run slow as hell though, since
you'd be reloading all the layout vars in to the sessions every time a
page changed themes.

if your files are done right (no tables etc old skool stuff) you can
change a whole lot by just changing the stylesheet. see examples at
http://csszengarden.com/. but this requires quite a bit from the generated
html output.

i hacked together an example where you would use a different theme based
on a module... but i am not sure if thats enough for you. basically just
before displaying the tpl file you have a switch based on the current
module to determine the right tpl file.

I'd like to see your (or anybody else's) code example that switches the
theme based on the active module.  If you don't have a spot I can downloa=
d
it, could you please send it to me as an email attachment?

Thanks!

[Phpwebsite-developers] Template question about hiding a label

[Greg M. <me...@ms...>]

Hello all.

I have a quick question about templating.  I have a item class with a few
vars that are not required.  In that item class, I have a view function.=20
That view function sets up the tags then calls the process template
function.

Right now with those optional vars is that the label is showing but then
there is no data to show with it.  I set up my view.tpl to be like this:

<!-- BEGIN DATUM2 -->
{DATUM2_LABEL}:<br />
{DATUM2}<br /><br />
<!-- END DATUM2 -->

with Datum2 being an optional field.  Even set up like that, the label
still shows.  I was hoping that with it set up like that, the code chunk
wouldn't show even though the DATUM2_LABEL is present.  Am I going to hav=
e
to check every label before adding it to the tags?  [i.e.
if(isset(datum2))....]

I'm hoping there is a more "graceful" way that having an if statement for
all the variables (there is a lot of them).

I hope all that made sense.  Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Greg

Yes in my experience I've had to only conditionally define the label as
well.

Yes it does but phpWebSite calls them categories.  If you add categories
under the Fatcat administrator, these categories should then show up
when you are creating a new or editing an announcement.

> 2.- How can I display all news for one section??  (like phpnuke)

Go to the Menu Manager module and edit the menu you want to add the link
to.  Click the "Add Module Default" button.  Then select the dropdown
option which will add "Announcements" to your menu.  Finally name it and
choose where you want it to show.   This will give you a categorized
display of all the announcement.  Copy the individual links to show the
announcements for one category at a time.
