Re: Tag for static section on homepage only
Well, it’s certainly minimal! I noticed one or two things ~
The front page shows categories and this is the only navigation to articles, except for Search which might bring up an article in its results.
But when viewed on a narrower viewport, Search disappears as does the site name too.
You have this in your stylesheet page:
<div class="box">
<div>
<txp:link_to_home><txp:image id="2" /></txp:link_to_home>
</div>
<div>
<txp:link_to_home>
<txp:site_name float="center" />
</txp:link_to_home>
</div>
<div class="push">
<txp:output_form form="search_input" />
</div>
</div>
<txp:site_name />
cannot have a float="center"
It is also an invalid css rule (unless it has become part of the flex
css of which I know nothing). Consequently the site name and Search are positioned to the right of the image. I think you probably want to do something like this instead:
<div class="box">
<div>
<txp:link_to_home><txp:image id="2" /><br /><txp:site_name /></txp:link_to_home>
<txp:search_input />
</div>
</div>
Congratulations on creating the most minimal Textpattern site I’ve ever seen!

Re: Tag for static section on homepage only
>edited to include the another key reason I chose Textpattern
Hi Zero! I smiled so much when I read your comment about the site being minimalist! I know – and also, it was my goal :) cf. building what we want, just the way we want it…
But to advertise why I chose Textpattern for this: while my ‘design’ (if we may be generous towards me for a moment) may be minimal, it is taking full advantage of inherent capacities to TXP (e.g. interlinking, the potential for multiple authors – and also because, unlike a wiki, one can change the interface: also, I will possibly change some things to cater to user vision once they join. Textpattern affords such flexibility as opposed to the readymade).
Actually, I realise I have a question: is there a max number of users on Textpattern? What happens if they all contribute at the same time?
To return to your comment about the code, yes my CSS includes flex
. Also, about the narrow viewport, the CSS should take care of that, too. But I only tested it on devices I had on hand…
The “page” was such as I tried to follow the instructions on how to submit a theme. But it is possible that I did not understand.
Dear Zero, thank you for writing. I know that my project is super simple (and think I have stated that from the start) but I hope you are not disappointed! …at least amused :) Greetings!
