New admin template

[sparkdigital]

Hi Maverik,

I'm on FF 3.0.6 too on XP and works fine for me - see screenshot. DO you use Ubuntu as your operating system and use FF iin combination with that? Perhaps that could be the reason?

Please feel free to make your own adjustments to the stylesheet if you wish and let us know how you get on.

Thanks,

Konrad

hi

first screen last template with changes from konrad

second screen the template from new download   

all screens ubuntu 8.10 firefox 3.0.6

so long maverik

That is correct. I move the content to the left, because I thought on very wide screens it was not preferred to have it in the middle. That was one of the 'complaints' before...

I see with your configuration the menu is a bit too low, and the content a bit too far to the left, but you use a non-standard configuration like ubuntu/firefox. I cannot support or even check all kind of "exotic" combinations. Check for Windows and standard browers only...

I have updated the admin template with Konrad's adjustment, and a number of other style issues. I also restored the full Media folder. If you want to hide the subfolder creating option in the Media folder for your clients (like me), you only have to change a class name in the template.html file of the Media folder. I have commented the place to do that, on the bottom of the file. I also have changed the layout of the template file a bit, to make the order of the fields more logical.

I checked the admin template in IE6, but found no errors. I also don't understand what Chio means with "missing text in riders". Maybe he can comment on that? Or maybe those problems are solved with this version?

This is the last regular version for WB2.7 (unless major faults are discovered), and I will concentrate on the skinnable admin backend for WB2.8 now.

Sounds good! Keep us up to date!

Hi Argos,

I will glad to assist with the WB2.8 skinnable stuff! I have sent you a PM, Matthias.

That are good news. Would like to see the skinable backend layout become true in WB 2.8.  Looking forward to see more about this.

Regards Christian

Hi guys,

I will update the template with Konrads style adjustment, and restore the full media section (it is still availabe in the zip file though, as can be read in the instructions), and tweak some more. I'll have a look at IE6 as well.

So wait a little, and within a day or 2 I will posted an updated template.

Hello,

just wanna inform you guys, that we are working hard to make the admin template skinable, wich basically means exporting all images, icons, css and html to a separate folder. While working on this we also try to make the default theme valide and working on all browsers. And maybe we also can manage to integrate a second theme (maybe argos one) to the wb core.

So if someone is interested in helping make this working please PM me.

Matthias

I also use it on all my newer sites, though there are some heavy problems with IE6 (missing text in the riders)
And - how can I create new folders in media?

[sparkdigital]

Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like it! I'm not sure I understand what you did with the tabs. If it's an improvement for everybody, feel free to share with a picture or zipfile 

Nothing fancy - I just noticed that the tabs where quite far to the left on my 1280 screen resolution so I made them float the left in line with the content of the page, see screenshot attached.

All it took is this line in the stylesheet:

Code Select Expand

.menu {position:relative;float:left;margin:39px 0 0 0;padding:0;text-align:center;width:900px;}

Something else - how do we revert back to the standard media setup?

Thanks again,

Konrad

Great stuff Jurgen, thanks very much - I started using it straight away for all my clients, what a difference it makes, very professional!

I've changed a few things: just made the main tabs in line with the other things rather than being absolute and I've added direct link to my beloved pagecloner mod in the top links.

hi

I think it looks great on wide screens

have a look at screenshot   

Not good.
I don't have time to fix it right now, but I will have a go at it asap! Thanks for the screenshot.

With wide screens I mean....17", not 170" haha

Oopss... just before your post I figured it out and removed the post to avoid unnessecary posts haha 

But indeed...we use it now as testing for some clients and they love it too. Great, plain, simple but has all the action in it. And as we figured out now how to enable the origin Media folder it is perfect.

Thank you for this great template.

Hi,

I tried this admin and I truely love it!

One thing.....where can I create new maps in the media section? This option is gone 

Greetz,
Boudi

Yes, becasue it is based on a template I use for my clients. I prefer remove clients permissions they don't need, to eliminate the risk of user errors. So I removed the option to create maps of their own. But there is also the default media folder in the zip. So you can restore that one if you like. But then you loose the synchronizing fields option.

I will update the template to combine the synchronizing option with the default media options one of these days... There are some other things I want to modfy as well.

BTW: nice to hear you like the template!

Hoi Jurgen, thanks a lot.
I especially like the "intelligent media approach".

Thanks Jurgen, for solving the problem of other users than Admin.

Thanks for your comment. It seems that some descriptions are longer than I knew. I could let the boxes stretch, but then the layout would be not so neat anymore. Your solution of making them a bit taller works fine. Or you could modify the long descriptions so that all fit in the boxes. I think 3 lines should be enough space for a decent description. But maybe I'll make the boxes taller in the template, I'll have a look at it.

[maverik]

hello

ubuntu 8.10 firefox and opera

NEW VERSION!

I have improved my backend template:

1. fixed the bug that others than admin couldn't add pages
2. fixed bad CSS that messed op the header section in case of long website -title- tags
3. fixed mouse-over color change in pages overview
4. improved several other minor and cosmetic CSS elements

I hope you like it! I have some more improvements in mind, but it's bugfee now at least (a far as I know). New version (wb27_admin_argos_v4.zip) can be found at AMASP.

[Argos]

I did not change anything in the code on purpose, but maybe I did introduce this bug. I don't know, but I will have a look at it later this week or next weekend. Very busy right now, so I have to postpone it a bit...

[Vincent]

I found a bug, Jurgen. Users who are member of a different group than Administrators are not allowed to add pages. Perhaps you changed something in the code?
I'll start looking for it, but if you know the solution, please let us know.

Groet,
Vincent

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

I left the WB logo out, because I use this template for my clients, and I don't feel the need to communicate with a big logo that it's WB I use. I don't hide it either, so the copyright notice is still there on the bottom. But the logo doesn't add value for my clients, and only takes up space. But feel free to place it back 

Maybe I'll have a crack at a width switcher later (nice idea), but I'm rather busy at the moment, so don't hold your breath waiting for it... Any bugs that may be found I will have a look at asap of course.
