The content is not there but I'm almost done with the design, but I feel it's missing something can any of you guys suggest anything for the main content of the site? I tried a faded bg but that didn't look any good. I was thinking of adding a border like the menu but it would be a little tricky, mainly because of the photo page. The photos expand the size of the main content area.
Could you guys also tell me how long it took to load for you? At work it's loading amazingly slow, but at home it's really fast. Trying to figure out why.

I know what is missing, a translator! :-D
Seriously, looks good, what happens when you click Inicio (in the left menu)?
Then, click on agenda, look at the font-size of: Nuestra Agenda :|
Furthermore, the date/time on top of the news-items is to big.
Succes!

1. Funny :lol: I should've warned you. It's in Spanish.
2. It's going to the root, the site is under construction so I have a coming soon page.
3. Yeah, I know about that. The thing is that my FTP is not allowing me to replace or deit the modules. If I wanted to fix that I would have to uninstall the module, zip up the edited version, then install it again. A lot of work. Is this normal? I am able to edit/replace any other file on the site through FTP except the modules.
4. See above.

BTW, this is my first Bake, and loving every minute of it. :mrgreen:

3 - try fiddling your chmod settings in admin -> settings -> show advanced settings
increase the group to 7, so something like 775 might do the trick

That didn't work for some odd reason, the files in the module folder have bad descriptors, whatever that means. :?
I even tried a different FTP client and this is what the log says:
Command: SITE CHMOD 777 /public_html/modules/event/view.php
Response: 550 Could not change perms on /public_html/modules/event/view.php: Bad file descriptor
What the heck is that?
-
Thanks Burki. :-)

module folder have bad descriptors
I mean, first change the chmod settings, then install, the newly installed files should get the new settings
Other option is using a web based file-explorer
The thing is, wb installs trhe files as the webserver user, mostly apache, nobody or www.user or simular.
You as user don't have the rights apache has so you can't do anything with the apache made files
3 options basicly:
1 - try making files with more rights (less secure btw)
2 - try chmodding with your ftp client so you got the needed rights
3 - use something wich runs under webuser (look at the template edit for example)
When you enhance the rights, don't forget you inherit the folder rights as well, try setting those to 777
Good luck,
John

I see what you mean now. The thing that didn't work either. I've tried deleting in the file explorer and nothing. I tried uninstalling the modules and I am not allowed. It's to the point where I'm thinkin og scrapping this whole install and starting fresh to see if that will help.
-
I fied it. I was able to delete the dir with a different ftp program and re-uploaded all the modules using the new write permissions and all is well. Thanks for the help.

Kewl..
happy baking !!

Spoke too soon now the whole thing is fudged up. Look at the photo page.

Error in your template?

Nah. The template was working fine before I started this whole mess.

That's a nice design.
I have a question: it looks like the top menu is graphical. That means you have to change it by hand every time you change the menu. Since all of the dynamic menu entries correspond 1:1 to all of the static menu entries, why use a dynamic menu at all?
-

Excellent point. The graphical menu looks so much nicer than the text one. If you moved the search box to the top of the content section and removed the dynamic menu entirely, then your gallery pages and the header would be the same width.
Other than that, very nice design.

Good point but the thing is that the client is going to have sub pages under some of the main pages. Though I was thinking of using the news module to keep adding content instead of subpages. Not sure how that's going to look though.
For example of the subpages, under
Estudios (Studies)
-- Estudio 1
-- Estudio 2
-- Estudio 3
If it was news entries not only would they stay under the main page but the client would have the option of allowing others to comment on the studies. The only thing I am not too fond of is that by using two modules in one page the WYSIWIG text stays at the top of each page within the news postings. Go to the Estudios (http://www.transformadosporjesucristo.com/pages/estudios.php) page so you can see what I mean about the news script being used as a way to add the studies. It looks a bit cluttered now but I think it would be ok. What do you guys think?

ohh ... I was too late ... you took it offline, I'd like to have seen it.
In one thing you are right though, baking your websites is darn good!
-
It's back online. It went offline as I change the default language to spanish. Take a look at the new version of the template without the menu's to the left.
-
look at the spanish special chars...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
there are some problems looking at your site with iso...
is your database giving back the content with iso or utf-8, have a look
is wb set to iso? (default is utf-8)
i like the way you work with images... :-) site is good looking
-
WOW ... this is a cool design if I ever saw any! I like it a lot!
Keep on bakin and show us your styles!

I've been having trouble with the characters but I figured it out. The language file was not using the html version of the special characters, so I've edited and everything looks better now.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

i agree.
very nice interface.
i LOVE the graphical menu.
los colores que usa son muy elegantes. todo se ve muy bien en XP Pro entre los browsers: Firefox 1.6 y MSIE 6.0
otro cosa.
el color del fondo (#DDDDDD). yo creo que se ve mas mejor si usara color azul ligero. no gris.
tiempo de la transferencia de download era rapidamente.
un trabajo Bien Hecho amigo!

Ok, I believe my work is done.
http://www.transformadosporjesucristo.com/index.php
I went back to the menu on the left since it seems he will be adding more pages and editing the header and footer buttons all the time would be tedious and would also make the menu font really small. SO there it is.
What do you guys think of the final product?
-
Very, very nice. 8-)

Thanks Peter.
