1.1 template how to

Post by tazilein »

For our small apartment rentalI adapted s9y a little bit and try to use it as a cms without comments ,.... I used the Joshua Theme and made several adaptions.
I would really like to add some new 1.1 features to it f.ex adapt the horizontal menue or choose the head-image in the admin interface. Are there any tutorials how to do that ?

I am not very good at php or smarty, but I am willing to do that and I hope not to be too stupid :wink:

Unfortunately, the menu links require some PHP and Smarty knowledge. You might be better off adapting a template that's already 1.1-aware and uses the menubar.

I disagree, adding the configurable navbar would be very easy, we simply need to copy and paste the relevant sections from one of the other templates. Specifically config.inc.php and index.tpl, tazilein, if you send me the zipfile of your template I can do this in 2 minutes.

As for the changeable header image, the only way to do this is to edit the code so that you provide a different url for your header image within the 1.1 template config screen. Its an easy modification, you just need to make sure that you always use the same size header image, and that you upload the header to your uploads folder. Once again, I could do this for you in a couple of minutes.

I'll PM you with my email address, but allow me a couple of days to send it back, busy weekend ahead.
