    i'm squizing tikiwiki into an existing site. which works quite wel.
    i only changed the top and bot bar via the admin menu and chenged the style sheet.
    if i want to see a different tiki look here:
    http://versie2a.molenwiek.nl
    (login is still available via admin.molenwiek.nl (but not for strangers, sory))

    there are just a few minor points

    1) on the artikle page there is an hr line which i can only remove if i remove all hr in my style sheet because its not in a div and has no name.

    2) the print icon too can not be removed with the css (i overwrite the print icon with a 1x1 white icon.

    allll the rest is perfect 😎

    The customisation for 1 and 2 points can be done a lot easier through modifing the .tpl files in templates/ instead of just hacking through the CSS 😊

    Good style hacking tho 😀

    thanks

    i know i could change the tpl files. but now i can easaly upgrade to a newer version and only need to keep track of one file (the css) instead of updating all my changed files all over the place.

    Copy your style to say mystyle.css in /styles/

    then in /templates/styles/ create a mystyle directory

    now copy any template you want to modify into templates/styles/mystyle and change it there, this directory will override the master templates/

    when it comes to upgrade the site, your own theme .css and .tpls' will never get touched.

    This is how I acheive http://www.damosoft.co.uk which is always running on the latest BRANCH-1-9 cvs code. Regardless of what people change, my site always looks the same due to this template overriding.
