New template: YAML 2.5.2 port (release)

[yellowled]

Hey guys,

thanks to the incredible Mr. Hicking, the YAML port for s9y is now finally complete You can download the zipfile from my s9y templates page (also in English).

Make sure to check out the README files, especially if you plan to use this with s9y < 1.1 and/or want to customize it (it should be customized unless you want your blog to look exactly like the YAML website).

(I'd also appreciate comments on the READMEs, since I'm not sure I have covered everything.)

I'd also like to encourage all fellow template designers to check out Garvins code (see config.inc.php and index.tpl or the number of navbar links thread) for the customizable navbar - it's possible to set the number of navbar links plus URL and link text from the admin panel (in s9y v1.1) which in my humble opinion is very neat and helpful for new users.

Awesome, thanks YellowLed!

Fantastic work. I guess I will base my next blog redesign on this template.

Well done yellowled and garvin, I think I might update every single one of my templates with this code today. This is just too awesome.

BUGFIX: You mention in the readme about the bug where a short entry or entry with image only breaks the entry footer. One solution for this is to make sure the entry footer is a block-level div and that it has an immediate parent such as serendipity_entry. Place your clear:both; into the styles for the entry footer. On its own this won't work in fact it will break the sidebar positioning. The second step is the fixer. In serendipity_entry, place an overflow:auto;

Hope that helps you move this template forward, BTW, truly excellent port for Serendipity.

In the language files for your template, you start numbering your links constants from 1, but setting the first constant to 0 seems to be correct, otherwise the first link is blank. Could you le tus know which is correct?

You're right, it should be 0. I think I missed this trying to get the updated zipfile including Garvins code uploaded as fast as possible.

New template designers, take this as my little piece of advice: It can never hurt to keep a template on your own hard drive for another day and have another look at it in a test environment

I just now uploaded an updated zipfile, which also includes your great bugfix - thank you so much. I've tried various possible workarounds for this, but I don't think I would ever have found this solution. And thanks to everyone for your kind words

Yikes, a nasty bug concerning the coComment code has been found. Thanks to Rexxer for noticing me about this. Another updated zipfile has been uploaded just now.

it looks like there is another bug as well, which only affects pre1.1 s9y installs. I'm hoping Garvin or one of the developers will help us out because I've 6 or 7 templates up on Spartacus that don't work for some users... ah well, serves me right for wanting to be at the bleeding edge

mgroeninger has provided a fix for the bug mentioned in my previous post, users of the yaml template who haven't been ableot get it to work on version 1.0 or older of serendipity should edit their config.inc.php file as per the code in the other thread. I'm sure yellowled will update the template soon, so this won't be a problem for very long.
