smd_admin_themes: Manage, edit, switch and share admin-side themes

Bloke · 2012-01-29 22:00:44

D’oh v0.31 / and smd_crunchers v0.11. Forgot to copy across a function from admin themes to crunchers. Sorry about that.

Last build (3968) with Hive admin theme.
Impossible to edit the style or script files in the smd_admin_theme.
No problem with the classic/remora.
Files are correcly listed.

@jpdupont

Not surprising since this plugin hasn’t been updated for Textpattern 4.5 yet. I think Stef’s waiting for me to write a few more bits of CSS first. It will happen soon.

Thanks Phil !

I do have an update available that I did a few months ago that fixes a few bits n bobs. It primarily expands subdir support (which is what is affecting jpdupont and Hive) and has detection of more types of file. Just tinkering with the layout to make it look prettier under 4.5.0, which brings me to…

Ah yeah, have you decide on a decent name for the class="plugin-help" on plugin prefs pages yet? Still not convinced the layout’s quite right as it’s not picking up the paragraph styles / edit-label / edit-value things and they’re being smooshed together / overlapping with the latest css files.

Yeah, I’ll be sorting that today. I’m getting rid of .plugin-help and using a more universal .text-column and .plugin-column for a start. They will both be the same width, difference being .plugin-column one can accept form elements like in .txp-edit without them squishing together.

What is the best way to work?
In the next 2 months, I have to make or update 5 sites.

Work with the svn version and thus test the 4.5 beta and my usual (10) plugins,
or develop with the 4.4.1 upgrade and at the very end upgrade to 4.5 ?

Is there a place where you can report plugins that do not work with 4.5?

Easy, tiger! I’ve been without an internet connection for half the day so I wasn’t able to carry on tweaking the plugin. I see Phil’s put (most of) the class changes in core, so I’m back on the case now.

OK, anyone running SVN or a nightly of 4.5.0 can try the v0.32 beta. Please let me know how it fares, thanks.

She works fine, overall. I’ve only done some very light editing, mind you.

You may want to add some styling for the smd_popup blocks. When the theme display grid has 2 rows or more, there is some ugly, annoying overlap (when you click on the ‘base’ link), like this screenshot (taken with the Hive theme).

At the minimum:

.smd_popup { position: relative; z-index:1; /* make sure smd_popup is on top*/ }

and add a background-color for readability.

The background-color is a bit of a problem as it may clash with a theme’s color scheme. Don’t worry about about Sandspaces (beta update soon available) though, I’ve already added some workaround code to deal with it ;-).

Ah yes, that’ll be Phil and his fixed-width input boxes. Well spotted. The previous version was inline because the box was shorter. To make a short input box work well with HIve I have to remember to add a corresponding class as well as the actual size itself to override the default fixed widthness. Humbug. It also happens (at least in English, but it’ll be dependent on string length) with the Export popups. Sometimes the [Go] link is on the row below the radios when I actually intended it inline. Probably not much I can do about that though.

Part of me wants to do what you suggest and put a background colour on, but as you say, which one to pick? Hey, maybe there should be a design pattern rule for it so I can just apply a class :-) Phil?

Another (small) part of me wants to stop it wrapping altogether with some non-breaking-space stuff, but that might look horrible in some languages or font sizes and is probably not good practice.

Stef, let’s liaise on this via email. I can suggest some of that code for you that’ll make this plugin render better in 4.5 (all themes)

Woot, thanks! I need all the help I can get in the visual / layout / design department.
