• Move search box or navigation pane

    By paul trower 2 decades ago

    Hi



    I we are using this wiki fine but I have a couple of tweaks that I would like to make so that it fits in a bit better with the rest of our site.



    1 - Where would I have to go to move the navigation pane from the right hand side to the left hand side of the page ?



    2 - Where would I have to go to move the search box from the middle of the navigation pane to the top of the navigation pane ?



    Thanks

    Paul

    • CSS

      By Benedict R Poole 2 decades ago

      DominoWiki's layout is determined by a configuration document, containing CSS, which is called

      "layout.css".



      As the name suggests, this stylesheet determines positioning of the main site elements, so you can edit

      that per your requirements. Colours, fonts, etc. are stored in the other CSS documents.

        thanks I will look in there.

      • CSS changes - possible 'bugs' in code ?

        By paul trower 2 decades ago

        Hi Ben



        Thanks for the heads up on the layout.css, it really does do what it says on the tin !!



        The mods were quite small to achieve what I wanted.



        I added position:absolute and left 24% to the #content-container and removed width 70%

        I removed the width settings from the *html #content-container

        I changed right:1em to left 1:em on the #menu-container



        and bingo it now displays as we wanted with the menu on the left hand side with one exception :-(



        When I click on a category it all goes a bit screwy. I think that I know why but I would like you to check it out if you have time. My theory is that there are some closing div tags missing and that is causing things to not display correctly.



        On the start page when I view the source i can find

        six times and
        seven times (although the extra closer doesn't seem to affect things). However on the category page there are six
        tags but only four
        tags. The two that are missing are the ones that close off the #content-container and #content divs.



        Would you be able to check my findings out and let me know if you agree ?



        Many thanks

        Paul



        PS - I hope that I don't come across as a pedant who is just trying to score points by pointing out that the div tags don't match it's just that I need them to match in order to do what I would like to do :-)

        • You're quite right

          By Benedict R Poole 2 decades ago

          This is a known issue with the categories subform, which I think I fixed in 1.2 development some time

          back – will check again. Many thanks for your response!

          • version 1.2 release date

            By paul trower 2 decades ago

            Assuming that you find out that the fix works is there a likely release date for version 1.2 ?



            Thanks

            Paul

            • That's the million dollar question

              By Benedict R Poole 2 decades ago

              :)

              • is there a beta version?

                By paul trower 2 decades ago

                Do you have any feel for how far away from release it is ?



                Is there a 'beta' version that we could use with the caveat 'buyer beware' :-)



                We are a bit stuck here knowing whether to release the wiki and then change it at a later date or to wait for the next release which will allow us to customize it so that it fits in with the rest of our site.



                Thanks

                Paul

              • where does the /div fix go ?

                By paul trower 2 decades ago

                Ben



                If it is simply could you tell me the fix for the missing two div tags on the categories page ?



                Thanks

                Paul

              • solved ??

                By paul trower 2 decades ago

                Ben



                Is it just a case of taking off the 'hide from web browsers' tick for the line containing the two

                tags at the bottom of the $$view template for categorised ?



                Cheers

                Paul
