Today I uploaded a few screenshots of a new layout, that I created to test the new Change Stylesheet function of CR. Here is a short description how to add a new layout:
- create a new directory in layout/
- put a file named stylesheet.css in it
- move your images into the same directory
- go to admin menu, click Change Setup and choose the new style
That’s it. Ok, there are some more steps for me as a developer: Adding a way to reference images in the stylesheet in relative paths, but display them in CR, too. That’s a bit tricky, because I don’t want absolute path names in the stylesheet - that’s a huge problem for changing layouts through different sizes. If you installed CR on www.domain1.org, you don’t want to change the stylesheet if you put your layout to www.domain2.org… hm, need to think about that. Maybe I can copy the wordpress style of themes - in a small way.
Now, back to the screenshots. I uploaded them to my Flickr Account and I’ll do so with all screenshots. Here are the first 3 shots:
The theme is called Slick and I will use it for my testing purposes. It’s easier to check the XHTML/CSS functionality with a working stylesheet on your hands. Don’t expect much grafic work in this theme.
