[phw_sandSpace], an admin theme for TXP CMS 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9

phiw13 · 2024-07-12 06:09:56

An update with some more fine tuning, optimisation, bug fixes and so on.

Of note

for code and main content focussed textarea, the use of property/values using max() or min() (e.g. block-size:max(30em, calc(100lvh - 7.5rem));, and doing away with max or min-height.
the file and plugin upload areas have been reworked slightly to have more flexibility to support underlying HTML code changes).

>> download version 4.9.0 beta 9

Enjoy.

Note: the 4.8.8 theme has also been updated with some bug fix.

Sandspace theme for Textpattern 4.9-dev, first release candidate.

Some reshuffle some fine-tuning some optimising, possibly ready for a Textpattern 4.9 release

Of note:

The set of icons has been moved to a separate file (in times of widespread HTTP2 deployment, parallel downloads are the rule). This also makes it easier to remove if that iconset becomes part of Core.
make use of the prism.js custom properties provided by the core textpattern.css
improved width handling for the dialog(s) on the Write panel
(tentative) added support for the newly added <iframe /> loading the full view in a dialog

I’m considering options for third-party themes in the Textpattern 4.9-era demo, and I’d really like to include phw_sandSpace with appropriate credit / attribution.

I would state clearly that it is not a core theme, but is usable within the bounds of the license conditions (currently GPL v2).

From a logistics point of view, the demo server is rebuilt from known-good source every three hours. Based on the archive current file size, three-hourly curl requests for the phw_sandSpace .zip would generate less than 2MB of download burden per day.

I’d appreciate your consideration for including in the demo server, phiw13. Thank you.

Thanks for the sticky position of #view_modes. I usually add it to custom.css and am pleased to find it works out of the box in Sandspace.

Yeah, that was one the first thing I prototypes when you started extending the sanitising & tag parsing. Quite nice to have for long(er) articles. Glad you like it.

That should be OK, I think. Licensing should not be an obstacle as far as I understand it.

I don’t think that daily download would break the server – or the internet… –.

RC 2 for recent Textpattern 4.9.0 builds

Tightening some loose bits
Some updates and improvements to the Save / Publish block, particularly on small screen devices

>> Download Sandspace 4.9-ev RC 2

phiw13 · 2025-03-19 08:03:31

Sandspace 4.9-rc3, with some adjustments and improvement for the latest layout changes on the Write tab – the “action” links/buttons collapse the width of the icon on small screen devices. Also improvements in the Save zone area for the Forms and Pages panels to better accommodate longer strings (Greek, German,…). Assorted bug fixes.

This is hopefully the last RC release.

Sandspace 4.9, fot Textpattern 4.9

Lots of fine-tuning, and optimisations since the pre-release versions. Form input fields have been refreshed under the hood. [type="radio"] and [type="checkbox"]inputs use the native appearance with the accent-color property. Some textareas and select[multiple] no use the auto-sizing property in supporting browsers – Chromium browsers, Safari 26.2 and associated Webkit browsers. Affected textareas: all description meta-data fields, main editor fields on the Write panel (only on larger displays).

Note:

- support for admin-side thumbnail size configuration
- the checksum.txt mechanism for file integrity verification (`.php` and `.js` files)

Lovely work, as always Philippe. It’s a joy to use.

One tiny weirdness on the Preferences->Admin Themes subpanel (and only on that panel as far as I can tell) is there’s some horizontal scroll:

ibb.co/bRJWwcWq

[Firefox latest (146.0), MacOS Sequoia]

I can’t fathom by looking at the inspector why that should be, but you’re more well-versed in all things HTML/CSS than me. If there’s anything you’d like me to check, just let me know.

Thank you once again for this wonderful admin theme.

Thank you for the heads up. Grumble grumble how come that rule got dropped somehow?

Will update tomorrow, meanwhile you can add this to your custom.css if it bothers you:

main :is(.txp-edit, .txp-tabs-vertical-group) .txp-form-field-instructions {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

And thank you for the compliment. Please enjoy.
