Restyled Textpattern Interface
Having missed the old look from this old restyled interface, I took it upon myself to fix it and make it compatible with Textpattern RC3. It really wasn’t all that difficult and just involved replacing several table tags with list item tags and correcting things here and there.
This was just a quick hack to get it working, but here it is.
UPDATE Do NOT install if you have the Quikpik plugin installed. This restyle is incompatible with that plugin.

Darn it. Fix the BB so I can edit my blasted post.
To install, do the following:
- install the included images into the textpattern/txp_img/ dir
- replace the textpattern.css file with what is included in the textpattern dir
- replace txplib_head.php in the textpattern/lib/ dir
Make sure you have backups as I have been known to do stupid things when I’m quickly hacking away.

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
This is pretty cool looking. I’ve talked to you on your own blog about the plugin- if possible it would be nice. Also, could you get this working with wilshire’s quikpik plugin (not hacK)?
Thanks

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
The quikpik plugin should be quite easy to integrate. Perhaps sometime this weekend after finals are over I’ll look into it. Now, making this restyle a simple plugin would be a bit more difficult.

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
As the author of the stylesheet that goes with this, I’m happy that people like it.
And thanks Eric (ArbinShire) for upgrading the code for better compatiblity with RC 3. I’d been planning to do it myself, but well, other projects in the way…
It works fine on my side, no errors I think. I’ll release an updated stylesheet for the ‘tabs’ soon (better compatiblity with the latest FF-nightly builds and Opera 8).
Where is that emoji for a solar powered submarine when you need it ?

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
This looks great, but I get the following error now:
- Fatal error: Cannot redeclare piker() (previously declared in /path/to/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(304) : eval()’d code:348) in /path/to/textpattern/lib/txplib_head.php on line 228 *
Restoring the original txplib_head.php and its fine

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
I’m guessing you have the rss_admin_quikpik plugin installed. This mod contains the original version of my quikpik select list and therefore uses the same function name that I still use now. If you have the quikpik plugin installed you should delete any code in the modded txplib_head.php file from the original quikpik hack. It should all be at the bottom of the file.

Ah yes! That was it! Thanks

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
replace the textpattern.css file with what is included in the textpattern dir
I haven’t tried anything yet, but just looking at this seems backwards…don’t you mean replace the textpattern.css file in the textpattern directory with the one you include in the zip?

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
Even though I removed the the mod from the bottom of the file and line 87 (I got an error stating call to undefined function quikpik on line 87 in txplib_head.php), I had to disable the rss_admin_quikpick plugin as it wasn’t showing up in the right place, I’m not sure if that was supposed to happen, I’m guessing I did something wrong :/
<br />
I reuploaded the mod, and just disabled the rss_admin_quikpik menu..everything is all good under the hood. :) Although I’d still like to be able to use the admin plugin instead of the mod.

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
If that mod changed the structure of the tables on the page its probably breaking the DOM scripting in the plugin.
IMHO, with the ability to create admin side plugins I think its time to stop publishing hacks to the Textpattern codebase. Its only going to cause problems such as this one. It should be possible to change the styling of pages using a plugin and as several admin plugins have already shown its possible to modify the structure of a page as well. I’ve been able to successfully override the standard textpattern.css styles by changing it on the quikpik preferences tab so I would think its possible in this case too.

Re: Restyled Textpattern Interface
Woah… I just tried to integrate this with the plugin and all hell broke loose. It definitely didn’t work that well, apparently (from a quick cursory glance at the plugin), it uses tables, whereas this modification does away with the original table structure. Getting this to work is definitely going to be a bit interesting.
For now, an easy fix is to disable the plugin and work with the older hack. I’ll be able to work on this later tonight or tomorrow perhaps.
Destry – in the /textpattern/ dir, replace the textpattern.css file with what is included in the *.zip archive.
