Argos theme
Argos:
Guys,
just to let you know: I'm working on a new version of my backend theme. I did some error fixing and right now I'm working on a jQuery tabbed interface for the (loooooong) Settings page. Actually I just finished the mechanics, and it works like a charm. I have created 5 tabs, and within each tab you can switch between basic and advanced settings. I have to fix some styling and layout errors, but the technical stuff works. I'll attach some screenshots to show where it's going.
After that I'll see what other improvements I could do. Maybe some more tabbed stuff if it's useful, I don't know.
Any requests?

Hello!
Suggestions:
- As I think to improve anything with user/group management you need to change Core / need a module I let that out.
- A good thing would be the implementation of a context-based help of the whole backend, perhaps with redirect to help site or language files. But I also think that's something bigger.
- Tabbed interface is great for settings!
- For the add-on detail site: Would it be possible to realize that also with jQuery, the page doesn't load new but just a "info-box" pops out on the same site? I use the details quite often to control which version the module / templates have...
- The argos_theme/images/up_folder_16.png in media doesn't look that nice (even if I colored it some time ago for 2.7 backend :lol: ).
- As I think moving folders & files in media folder is Core based but not realizable with a theme like the resize function, I just mention it...
- I hope they will adjust the footer to WebsiteBaker, and the link to www.websitebaker2.o rg... I will write a ticket.
- There should be a new icon for the new add_child_page in 2.8.1, but I think that's an usability error of the Core...
- Backend preview with integrated browser, real frontend editing and a new access system.... Just kidding. :evil:
Yours Michael

Yep, that's core stuff. I won't touch that.

Sorry, not for now...

Yes, I think so too. I'll see if I can modernize other sections as well.

Hm... I really don't know, but I will have a look if I have time.

I'll check that!

Well, the resize function needed some admin coding changes, but I'm not doing that now. What do you have in mind with "moving files and folders" exactly?

I will have to check that with the developers.

I agree, two plusses on a line is not ideal.

We have to keep our dreams, haven't we? LOL

Hi Argos,
again a great step forward. Not only but especially on large screen resolutions, your template fits much better than the "default" one. From my point of view, the Argos theme should become the default "backend" theme, as this has really a "modern" look and feel and is some other improvements (e.g. the media stuff), which makes working much easier.
The idea of having the jQuery tabbed stuff is great. Hope your solution also works if Javascript is disabled (at least as long this is not a requirement of the WB core). Beside the DOM handling, the ability of writting unobtrusive Javascript solutions is one of the biggest benefits of the jQuery.
Hope your improvements will find its way into the WB 2.8.1 release. At usual, best things comes last :-)
Keep up your great work.

P.S.: If you have something to test, please post it and for sure you will get some more feedback :wink:

I got 1 request.
After creating page, adding to it couple wysiwyg sections, it would be nice not to have them all being loaded at start, but rather rolling/unrolling wysiwyg textareas indiwidually.
Having 5-6 wysiwyg windows takes too much time to load them.
edit: I see u base on default wb backend template.
Any chance you are going to improve gfx by creating own css ?
