iPodlounge for 1.4x

[Matthew]

I've updated iPodlounge for 1.4x. You can see a demo here. The width expands too far when you're logged in as admin but other than that it's pretty much the same. The bad news is that it's still a table-based layout. It wouldn't be hard to move it to xhtml if someone wants to do it.

Thx! Chears

Thanks for your readiness to contribute. However, I had to redo your modification: it's not an option to copy the whole content of themes/sample/theme.php into your custom theme file, and it's not an option to hardcode the navigation into template.html, nor is white text on white background a good idea for the admin menu .

Here's the modified theme ipodlounge for cpg1.4.x:

Many thanks GauGau, the themes I was missing from CPG 1.2 where ipodloung, 2bornot2b, kubrick and reynolds

GauGau...
Where can I change the "::" between the uper links?

[Stramm]

check the themes/sample/theme.php here you'll find the necessary code.

Code Select Expand

  // HTML template for template sys_menu spacer
  $template_sys_menu_spacer ="::";
Copy it into your theme.php and modify it accordingly

Okej! Will Try it later..

Thx..

[manne]

Okej!
I have now updated to GauGaus new release of Ipoudlounge, when I login the admin menu with the links config etc are white and mouse over brings the text visible black..

How can I fix this?

[Joachim Müller]

upgrade everything, not only parts of the theme. You haven't replaced http://gallery.shapes.se/themes/ipodlounge/style.css with the style sheet definition (style.css) from the package I provided. The old, outdated ipodlounge theme had the issue that admin menu items were displayed with white font on white background - I fixed this and posted about it as well in my previous posting.

[manne]

Sorry! It's early in the morning and I'm stupied...
When I downloaded your updated version under my theme folder i called it Ipodlounge2.. my old one had Ipodlounge
The css-file waw linked to the old folder :p

Code Select Expand

  // HTML template for template sys_menu spacer
  $template_sys_menu_spacer ="::";
Copy it into your theme.php and modify it accordingly

Can I just copy it and put it where ever I want in my theme.php??
Do I have to remove any code before I put in the new code?

[Stramm]

between EOT; and ?> seems to be pretty perfect
or if you prefer above
// HTML template for the image navigation bar

[manne]

I have done it now!

But as you can see on the menu: [link removed]

There's still "::" after the login link...
Where can I modify this?

And where can I remove the link "My Favorites" ??

Sorry! Found it on the template.html

[Joachim Müller]

how to remove menu items has been asked and answered very often already, use the search. Please stop replying to this announcement thread with your requests to modify that particular theme, cluttering this thread for most users.

[manne]

okej!

Sorry... :-\

GauGau,

Here is another update. I keep getting requests for this theme. Apparently, the demo here looks different than the one on my site. Here is a link: http://www.lassiter91.com/pics/themes/ipodlounge.zip

[Joachim Müller]

Matthew, I respect and appreciate your contributions, however they contain the same "design mistakes" the original contribution contained, e.g. a login link hard-coded into template.html that will display even if the user is already logged in. Additionally, it doesn't contain the placeholder tokens for theme and language selectors and the custom footer although it should: even if you don't use those options on your page, others will, so the tokens should reside in your template - you can savely disable them then in your config, which will result in a clean page for you.
There's no reason to hard-code navigation items into template.html - that's what the menu tokens are suppossed to do. If you hard-code them, you lose i18n options and gain nothing.

[Matthew]

GauGau, yeah, I agree. This shouldn't be released unless you want to inherit my design decisions. I guess a simple change you could make to the public release would be to correct the image paths in the css to display rounded corners and the header image. That may help make the two themes look the same. Cheers.
