Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
TXP Planet comes back to life, or at least this thread does.
The Planet site is mobile-friendly, courtesy of Bootstrap and free templates.
Looks good while you’re in the can with only your mobile phone to keep you entertained.
There are 8 feeds on the front page:
- Forum – Support forum activity
- GitHub – dev commits
- Resources – Plugins site
- Themes – Feeding from We Love TXP
- Tips – Textpattern Tips
- Blog – Textpattern Weblog
- Mag – TXP Mag
- Make – TXP dev blog
Under each feed, there are links to other sites and resources in the Textpattern World.
There is also an Accordion view, I was playing around with collapsible widgets.
The feeds are updated every hour at the top of the hour.
My thanks to Philipp Schilling for the new TXP logo, and steering me towards PT Sans and PT Serif fonts.

Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
The TXP Planet site has kept my attention this weekend, I wanted to finish putting the puzzle that is Textpattern together.
Feeds:
On the front page, I display 5 items from each of the RSS feeds, anymore and the page becomes too long. On the Accordion side of TXP Planet, I have it set to display 10 items per feed.
The Resources, Textpattern Tips and TXPQ have only 5 items in their feeds.
Links:
Other than the feeds, I have links to anything that is Textpattern related.
If anyone has any other resources that I may have missed, please let me know.
Design
By trade I am not a designer, I’m a hacker. I’ve tried to do my best in adapting a Bootstrap template and adjusting fonts to fit the Textpattern style.
Please let me know if I can make any improvements, adjustments, etc.

Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
Nothing really design related, but I’d like to cherry pick some of the contents easier. E.g.: I know the developers’ names, the active forum topics and could hide these and some more. Content related classes (.forum, .git, .dev etc) would help in creating a personal CSS sheet. The way Id have to do it now is applying lots and lots of nth-child selectors, and with those everything breaks as soon as you’d add a new element/content block.
If you find the time.

Could you show me an example, of where you’d place the classes in the page’s source code.
What do you use to hide the classes, a browser plugin?

Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
@uli, I moved all the external links under the feeds to the bottom of the page. Used to have them on the bottom on the old site, don’t quite remember why I chose to place them with the feeds on the new design.

Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
Monday, start of the week, and I was still on the Planet Site.
Here are the feed numbers:
- Forum – 15
- GitHub – 20
- Resources – 5
- Blog -10
- Mag – 10
- We Love TXP – 15
- Tips – 5
- Make – 10
- TXPQ – 4
The Accordion view will show you all the items.
Loving the new fonts, I think that’s what’s kept me focused on the site.

Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
Sorry for the late reply.

Yup, Stylish/FF, a graphic designer’s final saying ;)
Loving the new fonts
Yes, they’re looking great, and frankly: It’s the new bootstrap theme that made me visit your site more often, even more often now with the forum statistics and registered users.
And whoops they’re gone. What a pity, I felt more connected to the community by seeing who’s online. (And whoops they’re still there: Accordion view. And that’s also the one with 20 Github items. OK, so that’ll become my page then.) Nice to have such a central place for info like these.
You’ve been asking for design improvements: The accordion page could need some blue on the fonts in order to bring it closer to the look of the home page, e.g. on the .panel-title as. The CSS classes I mentioned previously were for the home page, and they’d be necessary one level upward for the portfolio-item containers (you currently have them inside the containers on the h3).

Re: [contrib] Textpattern Planet
The Bootstrap Accordion rocks – great way to manage links to that much content. Well done.

I’ll look into that today. Helpful advice is always appreciated.
As for the online users on the front page, I debated it, it slows the page load a little, and since it’s on the Accordion page, I left it out.

The Accordion is where I was able to sort things out. Bouncing from the front page to the Accordion, putting the puzzle together, what fits where. When new properties surface, the Accordion will get the link, and if said property is active, it may get placement on the front page.
Thanks for the pat on the back :)

Thanks.
If you happen to have bookmarks that can be added to the Accordion page, just post them in this thread.
