Re: TXP Template Contest : Starting a Pledge ! Will you sign up ?
Well you should be able to add classes/ids to anything.
By moving around I was thinking in terms of anything in the page template could be placed anywhere in that page template. Anything in a form template could be placed anywhere in that form template. For instance for me the first thing to move would be the content div tags, then I probably won’t want one or other of the menus but that can be sorted in the CSS rather than removing the tags from the template.
Actually I think the better way is to come up with an agreed set of templates which everyone works to, something along the lines that Jeremie was working on. At the moment the comment_form form still contains tables which most here dislike so if we could come up with something that was more along the lines of that contradictory phrase I hate – semantic mark-up – we would have something a bit more solid to hang our hats on. :)

while checking the textgarden.org site recently(which came together quite nicely,I rrealized that the rule draft hasn’t been addressed there yet, so that’s why I was wondering about the initial draft.By moving around I was thinking in terms of anything in the page template could be placed anywhere in that page template. Anything in a form template could be placed anywhere in that form template. For instance for me the first thing to move would be the content div tags, then I probably won’t want one or other of the menus but that can be sorted in the CSS rather than removing the tags from the template.
That’s what I ‘ve been thinking allso, the zen method, positioning rules and grabbing out of normal flow with floats, etc., so that’s why I didn’t mention it.

May be there is a small missunderstanding,i n fact I’m quite enthusiastic with semantic markup , and I spend a big deal of time to learn all the necessary ingredients.But the thing is,if you want really have interesting things to happen with some divitis magic, that is not wrong either, and for some sites that would make sense. (Not every single site needs to be accessible from a handheld device)
Then about the tables,that wouldn’t bother me much either.Using tables in some instances makes sense.
So splitting in at least two different templates would make sense.
with best regards, marios

It’s the phrase I hate not the philosophy. :)

Anyone ever considered “skinning” – or theming – the admin interface?
Just a thought.

Yes. Is it possible? Not completely.

Re: TXP Template Contest : Starting a Pledge ! Will you sign up ?
I think I might give it a whirl, however, because the admin interface uses tables and such it makes styling the admin interface can be tricky. I may have to redo some of the code in the back end. Will post if successful. wishes for luck

Re: TXP Template Contest : Starting a Pledge ! Will you sign up ?
yeah…looked at how the admin section was laid out and I’m not so sure about theming that. I’m not that talented…however, I may tweak the css though. Who knows.
