    • Misrepresented Tracker On/Off Status buttons in Milkway theme

    Posted by larryg

    Anyone using Trackers within the Milkyway theme may notice no distinction between On/Off when selecting the filter buttons for Open/Pending/Closed status in the item list view.


    See corrected method, below. Thanks to Gary/Chibaguy.


    And you will be able to tell when the buttons are ON or OFF.

    Thanks for pointing that out, but color information for the Milky Way theme should be added to its stylesheet: styles/milkyway.css. The layout.css file is imported by all theme stylesheets, so it's good to not specify colors there since it's likely they're not going to work well for some themes. (There are some color rules in layout.css because not everybody follows the pattern. Actually for default colors, there is also styles/layout/design.css, which is mostly for design details that are generally useful for themes but can be overridden by theme stylesheets when necessary.)

    I'll make the correction in milkyway.css (actually only "background: #BBAA99;" (or even #ba9, to get really compact) is needed for the background rule; the other properties are the default values so don't need to be explicitly specified (also, repeat isn't used unless there is a background image).)

    I've just been working on Milky Way for Tiki 7, so this is a good time to have the information.

    Gary,

    Thank you so much for pointing out the error of my CSS-editing ways. I am not very good with CSS and modified the only reference to .STATUSON I could find - which was in layout.css.

    Here is my amended file, MILKWAY.CSS, line 945
    /***** Trackers (etc.) *****/
    .statuson {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #BBAA99;
    }

    umm... while you're improving Tracker issues in Milkway, would you mind removing the grey rectangular box from around those status buttons? They look kinda' weird in Milkyway and are not present in any other themes. I could not figure out how to do that without globally affecting every box in the theme.

    Thanks again,

    Gary - I downloaded and installed Tiki v7.0, and immediately noticed that Milkyway is not among the list of available v7 themes. It looks like theme conversion from v6 to v7 involves some heavy lifting - is this something that I could do? Or any other way that a Milkyway-committed guy (like me) can assist?

    Can you verify that milkyway.css is in your styles/ directory? Showing up in the list of themes just depends on the stylesheet file being in place. The update from 6 to 7 involves mainly the site-header items: logo, site title, top menu, search and login forms, etc. These no longer use theme-specific template (.tpl) files; they use modules instead. In the case of Milky Way, there is also a custom module described in the readme file that's part of the theme package.

    Gary,

    There is no styles\milkyway.css file nor a styles\milkyway in the tiki-v7.0.zip file I downloaded.

    I merely copied the MILKYWAY.CSS file and MILKYWAY directory from my v6 instance of tiki.

    README file and THEME PACKAGE? If there are milkyway specific files I have not found them.

    Ah, sorry, I made some incorrect assumptions. There are Tiki 7 files for Milky Way at http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki/mods/trunk/themes/milkyway_tiki_7/?view=tar. I'm in the process of updating http://themes.tiki.org/Milkyway to add the download link there. There is a considerable difference in the files in the Tiki 6 and 7 versions.

    I thought I had put a readme file in the theme package, but it seems I haven't. (I updated a number of themes recently and didn't keep everything straight.) There is a package info file that is used when you install a theme using the Mods Admin feature, and this file contains the module assignment information (which displays on tiki-mods.php), but I'll add the information to a readme file in the download package and to http://themes.tiki.org/Milkyway.

    By the way, it seems the themes site isn't up to date with the new theme files, so many themes aren't displaying correctly there yet.
