    • Modify Topline and Bottom Bar?

    Posted by tikiwikist

    I am using a renamed and customized version of Olive theme but I don't see any new or "Olive" folder and I want to modify the contents of the bottom bar and I think the "topline" (where the edit and print icons appear about the center content). Where do I find these so I can edit the files?

    Thank you.

    PS: I also posted another problem in the pre-existing thread about IE pushing the center content to the right.

    I'd also like to know hoe to remove the topline icon space to bump up the main content window.

    I added a left-align image with HTML code to a title via a module's TPL and for some reason it unnecessarily displays a text line above the image before wrapping and also displays annoying quote marks before and after the text.

    Thank you.

    Olive uses the default templates, and its own characteristics are styled with CSS only. Depending on what you want to do, you can modify div.wikitopline and div.wikitopline table in olive.css. For more extensive changes, you can modify tiki-show_page.tpl, but since this is the same file that is used for other themes, you should probably copy the file and save it as templates/olive/tiki-show_page.tpl (make a new directory called "olive" within templates/), unless you want your "topline" modifications to appear in every theme at your Tiki.

    You can just comment out (use Smarty comment tags: {* and *}) any part of the template file that you don't want to be used. For all the page-action icons to not be used, you could comment out something like lines 22-47 in tiki-show_page.tpl. Just be careful that conditional statements aren't partially removed, etc.

    Can you give more details about this?

    I have problem with IE pushing the Show/Hide-Right-Menus link shifts leftward to the middle of the page, and the center main content window rightward so that the the main content looks like a sidebar and there is a big blank spot in the middle of the page (the main content appears less than 300px wide in all conditions). Firefox does this occassionally but a refresh usually corrects it, whereas IE does it permanantly which makes the page barely usable and therefore unacceptable. Another oddity is that my CSS specifies white font for the module titles but IE prints the mnu_application_menu title in black front.

    Thank you.

    I haven't used the Show/Hide Menus feature because the results I've gotten have always been bizarre. For one thing, unless it was fixed recently, there is a bug that prevents the icons from showing up on most pages. Then when they do show up and are used, the columns are all over the place. Can be entertaining, but not good if this isn't the effect you want. 😉 Well, to answer your question, I don't know.

    In your browser, "view source" of a completed page and do a search for a module title. Note its CSS class, etc. Probably it has a selector that olive hasn't specifically specified, namely span class="box-titletext". Since IE is braindead in many cases of cascading styles, you'll have to specify the color explicitly for the title. It seems olive.css hasn't been updated to include the title selectors used when module flipping is turned on. See more recent themes for examples, like http://themes.tikiwiki.org/styles/snow.cssQuestion for instance.
