Finally Settled on a CMS for My Personal Site

[ProSam]

After test driving a few CMS' I finally decided to stick with good ole WB. I wanted to test the waters of other CMS' and I some where too complicated and others just didn't cut it. WB is just perfect for most of my needs. I've built several sites with WB and don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon.

Here it is: http://www.prodzynes.com/ I used a template and modified it. I wish I had the time to build one from the ground up but I just don't.

Let me know what you think.

Just looked at it, and also some of the sites you build with WB look really great !!!

looks nice.
Some good stuff in your portfolio also.
Just one remark:

I would try to loose the horizontal scrollbar in your right container.
by putting in your CSS:

overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;

IMHO...

Great idea but something is not looking right.

In both IE7 and FF2 areas where no scrollbar was being shown, now there is one. See below:


How do I get rid of that blank scrollbar.

One other thing I can't figure out is why the menu is laying out backwards. Shouldn't Home be first and then the rest of the menu options? The template is like this by default.

How do I fix that?

I think I can edit this snippet but don't know how.

Code Select Expand

<?php show_menu(1,0,-1,true,'<li>[a][menu_title][/a]</li>','','','','',''); ?>
I tried changing true to false switching around the 1's and 0's but nothing.

The "backwards" menu comes with the float:right;" of the CSS ... you could either float the containing DIV instead of the LI's or put the pages backwards in the page administration

The scrollbar comes with the content ... if the content is even 1 px longer than the available space, it comes up. A bit of content optimisation required there.

Sorry Klaus but you are mistaken.

As I mentioned, and is shown in the image above. Before I added the styles grid8400 suggested there were no Blank scroll bars in eitherIE7 or FF2. As soon as I added the styles the Blank Scroll bar appeared. The styles did get rid of the annoying horizontal scroll bars but at somewhat of a price. I do not like that blank scroll bar at all.

Here is a full image of the before and after shots.

With the style you see and empty scroll bar


Without the styles there is no scroll bar and what you see is the actual content in the container.


And this is what the scroll bar looks like when it actually has to scroll


In regards to the menu, why would the float put the menu items in reverse order? I don't get it.

I tried reordering the menu in the admin, that worked but it also made my Contact page the homepage. Not good.

But putting the float on the containing div fixed it. Thanks Klaus.

If the content fits in the declareded space you can use:

overflow-y: auto;

Scrollbar only shows up when needed then ...

(i believe.. i think.. not really sure hahahahaha
