my first wb site
« on: August 31, 2005, 11:25:53 AM »
Hi all,
Here she is - 95% finished, appreciate any feedback.

It's all CSS, with two nice features (I think):
1. Try zooming the text by Ctrl+Scroll Wheel if your setup supports it
2. The thumbnail previwer on the artwork page

Only thing I'm not happy about is that I had to make my own Navigation menu.
Reason was, I hate having live links in a nav menu to the page you are already viewing, I know there are some advanced menus made by people here, but I don't think any of them do this?

thanks guys :)

@pwacht,
do you mean 'flash' as in Macromedia? - there is no flash used, only xhtml / css (and of course php from wb)

but no, the menu is not wb generated... just a php include, because of the reasons explained above - a usability bugbear of mine!

Only thing I can come up with, after a thorough, very thorough ;)  search is:
the div footer will show on a print page, maybe set it to noshow?

nice site!


about the menu thing: i use a workaround so the live link to the page you have open doesnt appear to be a link
Code: [Select]
.current a {cursor: default;}

this way the cursor does not react on the link and remains an arrow.

Thanks again guys, but you have to remember I only designed the code, all credit for looks goes to the artist (I wish I could design like that!)

@pcwacht, thanks especially for the deeper inspection :)
you know I had totally forgotten about doing a print stylesheet  :roll:
also, didn't even define a font-family in the CSS  :roll:

@jakob, yeah I used to too, but I've gone further now cos accessibilty devices will read it as a link unless you can remove the href attribute.

Nope, didn't do a whole new menu again, just a litle change ... ;)

Get this improved menu : http://www.WebsiteBaker.org/2/forum/?topic=777.1
add it to the beginning of your template's index.php

change:
Code: [Select]
// Create values
if($page['page_id'] == PAGE_ID) {
$values = array($class, , , stripslashes($page['menu_title']), stripslashes($page['page_title']));
} else {
$values = array($class, '<a href="'.$link.'" target="'.$page['target'].'">', '</a>', stripslashes($page['menu_title']), stripslashes($page['page_title']));
}
// Replace vars with value and print

and voila, your done

No link on current page.

Have fun!
John

Even if you didn't do the Photoshop, it's still an excellent job of both converting a design and doing it with all CSS.
