Re: Txp Admin Facelift
<strong>> “…did you fix the left-hand side column when previous articles are shown too?”</strong>
Off the top of my head, I don’t know if the current does that, but I checked mine anyway with purposefully long titles. No problems that I can see: longer text gets wrapped, unless its all in one word (“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”), then it gets clipped.
<strong>> “…oh, how about adding a border-top…”</strong>
I had tried it, but it doesn’t work out very well in practise, I’m afraid.
<strong>> “…it would be nice to know the DOM tree for your layout…”</strong>
I’ve made your work easier, actually. There is only one table in the article tab, the original one used to control the basic 3-col layout. The three cells have unique ids. I loaded up your plugin that you mentioned and all it took to “fix” it was swapping a getElementsByTagName to a getElementById and it worked fine. The id’s themselves may change names before anything got finalized, but they will always be there.
I’ve also added an event-based id to the body tag.
<strong>> “The white tabs lift off the background of colored tabs and you understand it immediately.”</strong>
True, white == active, not hard to grasp. The problem is little difference between “areas” and “actions”, and the total number of tabs visible at one time.
Having used Textpattern for a while, we all get into our groove, our navigation techniques finely honed to efficiency. Changing to something ‘different’ really does have a psychological effect on you, you feel slowed down because you aren’t 105% sure of where everything is.
If I were to describe the latest, I’d say its like meeting an old friend. At first you’re hesitant, then you realize you still know this by heart. It’s different, but, its not. The difference in looks is marked, but everything is really still where it was before.
<strong>> “…it should come forward from a background. “</strong>
That was the intent. Its an optical illusion (is it two faces or a vase?). I can certainly try and make it less ambiguous.

Re: Txp Admin Facelift
I just love it, it’s clean, bundled with small details that matters (like the textile selectors for body and excerpt, handy or the ability to edit the backend font size on the fly from adavanced prefs) and more generally speaking, more “readable”. I like that there is almost no tables left too :-)
Thanks again for this !

Re: Txp Admin Facelift
Anybody else getting these errors in http://…/textpattern/index.php?event=file
Warning: Missing argument 4 for upload_form() in /home/html/…/textpattern/lib/txplib_html.php on line 350
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare upload_form() (previously declared in /home/html/…/textpattern/lib/txplib_html.php:350) in /home/webadmin/…/html/site/textpattern/include/txp_file.php on line 506
Facelift version is the latest, 28.10. And guess neddless to say, uploading files doesn´t work.
