New CSS based XHTML compliant themes

[SnitchSeeker]

I love your new themes and especially the fact that your site (and the Danish one) both validate XHTML!

Does that mean you are using version 1.4? (I have read this entire thread but not seen you state anywhere which version you are running.)

So do I have to install version 1.4 in order to validate for XHTML?

If so, how close are we to a stable release?

Thanks!

To which posting/site do you refer to?
There are many postings where people ask for a release date for cpg1.4.x as stable, the usual answer is: it will be released when it's ready

Thanks Joachim,

I was referring to the fellow who started this thread. (I forget his name because it's quite uncommon.)

His gallery looks great and validates XHTML too!

Is he then using vb 1.4 or did he somehow hack 1.3.x to validate? (I was confused since he didn't specify in his first post - or any other post in this thread that I could see.)

Thanks!

It's mentioned in the thread several times, but I'll repeat it for you...

thank you

Hehe, the guy who started this thread is Dr. Tarique Sani, the lead developer of coppermine. He surely is using cpg1.4.x - probably even a modified version that was customized to fit his needs. That's why his pages validates. You can easily find out what version a site is using by looking at the html output - at the very bottom, the version is printed.

Excellent! That is very useful information. Thanks!

EDIT: I suppose one reason I was confused, is that this thread is labeled as CPG1.3.X which lead me to believe that 1.3.x could become XHTML compliant. Perhaps the label should be changed to 1.4.x?

[Joachim Müller]

no, the files posted in this thread are for cpg1.3.x, but as this thread is very old already, Tarique has meanwhile upgraded his site and the themes he is using to cpg1.4.x.
Please note that all coppermine themes that will come with cpg1.4.x will validate as well as the core code (at least we're trying hard to achieve this). Keep in mind that the themes for cpg1.3.x that are discussed here are to be considered experimental, go unsupported. It doesn't make very much sense to have valid themes when the underlying cpg1.3.x core code doesn't validate, so you should consider those themes as "proof of concept" only.
