Re: A new default template for Textpattern
Great work Jeremie! This is exactly what we need for the txp default install.
I prefer article headings to be H3’s. I use H1 exclusively for the site title, and then I can use H2’s for section titles or something else. This is working out nice for “small-screen-rendering” or text-browsers that don’t use css.
I think I have read somewhere that search engines try to use h1-h3 for indexing purposes, disregarding css.

Re: A new default template for Textpattern
That’s looking pretty cool Jeremie!
I notice a BR in form_comment_form.txt, can that be removed as it may limit the CSS author from presenting the form differently.

You’re absolutely right. I spend too much time on CSS browser, I had forgotten the basic html rendering rule for long line.
br removed.

Hi Jeremie!
That’s really nice :)
Do you know if there are any plans to localize these templates, when a user switches the language in the admin panel?

As far as I know this would not be possible without modifications to Textpattern’s internals.

Re: A new default template for Textpattern
Not really. Not in a dynamic mode anyway, or we will need:
- to include PHP into the template, which will make them hard to decipher for beginners
- or to modify Textpattern to handle it. It’s not that hard – and could be included for the 1.0 release – but I wonder if that will be really necessary because it will make the template hard to read for beginners (not as much as the first solution, but almost).
What we can do, is translate them by hand and put them into a theme package (when the theme engine is on); and distribute TXP with several lang default install or something along those lines.

Someone with better taste than me can confirm (or not) that using Dean’s yellow glory to such extent is not a good idea ? (first draft of the default css file for this proposal).

jesus my eyes! i could feel my retinas reeling in.
nice work on the back end, but i would change the colours either a pastel-non-puke yellow or a different colour, that yellow is going to cause as many deaths as Evil Dead.

I think I have to agree with both of you. I like the C++ touch. :)

Re: A new default template for Textpattern
I’ve been looking more into the article form_article_list.txt
I would love for each article to be wrapped in a div. That way one can easily add a border around the whole post, or add a background image. Or even float the div, so that you can have articles beside eachother ( like this). I’d rather have the div then the < hr > article separator.

Yes, oh yes! Its quite usual for the body tag to have background images while a container div holds the rest of the page together with a border or some other magic stuff.
You cannot get enough div tags :)
