Re: Administration interface
I know this thread is old, but, I’d personally like to see something a little more streamlined in the admin interface along the lines of this style. But that’s just me.
Edit: Okay…well, at least a tableless admin panel with no in-line styles. I’ve looked at the code and being a non-programmer type it looks daunting. One can wish though

Re: Administration interface
Well, I don’t think we want to copy or even look like we were “inspired by”, but I’m with you for something totally different. But, it isn’t likely to happen in the near future. Just read the facelift thread and you’ll see the kind of reception that idea gets.

Re: Administration interface
I agree with you. The interface could use a facelift, but we wouldn’t want it to look “inspired.” Personally I think the example I gave hit the nail on the head as far as a user interface for a CMS is concerned. TXP probably the CMS with the easiest learning curve – I don’t do a site without it – but a new look and feel to the interface would be awesome. But hey, that’s just my opinion ;)

Re: Administration interface
Where can I find section that holds the footer for admin side. Meaning the part where you have version number and “Logged in as….”

Re: Administration interface
Thanks :D
I Did look from there already but from the end of file…
The reason for searching that was that I want to remove navigation dropdown box from footer, one in the header is enough.
Secondly I was thinking about adding a new style class, for example wrapper so I could have fixed layout and different body bg. But since looking at txplib_html.php, no way I´m going to add there any divs more, I´ll probably just end breaking up things. %)

Re: Administration interface
Regarding to my previous post above. If and when I remove some stuff from the bottom of the admin page in order “to clean it up a bit”…
<code>
function end_page()
{
global $txp_user,$event;
if($event!=‘tag’) {
echo ‘<div style=“text-align:center;margin:4em”>’,
navPop(),
‘<a href=“http://www.textpattern.com”><img src=“txp_img/carver.gif” width=“60” height=“48” border=“0” alt=”“ /></a>’;
echo graf(‘Textpattern · ‘.txp_version);
echo($txp_user)
? graf(gTxt(‘logged_in_as’).’ ‘.$txp_user.br.
‘<a href=“index.php?logout=1”>’.gTxt(‘logout’).’</a>’).’</div>’
: ‘</div>’;
echo n.’</body>’.n.’</html>’;
}
}
</code>
I took out everything else and left only
<code> function end_page() { global $txp_user,$event; if($event!=‘tag’) { echo n.’</body>’.n.’</html>’; } }
</code>
Question goes: Is it safe to do that?? Everything seems to be working fine but since my almost to zero knowledge with php I´d like to make sure that no harm is done..

Re: Administration interface
Well, you’d be removing the name of the user logged in, the version of Textpattern being used, and the dropdown navigation. As long as you’re okay that those things are gone, then yes, it is safe (you can even get rid of the $txp_user,).

Re: Administration interface
Yes, good point. I guess I should mention it before anybody else thinks about doing the same thing that I am using either phiw13:s admin style or your facelift in the admin sections where I was planning to do this.
With those the name of the user logged in and the dropdown navigation list are both presented also in the top of the admin page so this way I´m just removing the doubles, simpifying even more the interface and decreasing the scrolling needed. But with version number, that should be there still, gonna put that back or try to include it in the top of the page.
You mean by getting rid of <code>$txp_user</code> this:
<code>function end_page()
{
global $event;
if($event!=‘tag’) {
echo n.’</body>’.n.’</html>’;
}
}</code>
edit: putting the version number back to “footer” while taking everything else out seems to be going way beyound my skills. I was able to make the version number show in the page header, just have to figure it out why that makes extra line break there and increasis that way header height.
