Crisoft Ricette

Today I added the WYSIWYG editor TinyMCE to Crisoft Ricette. You can edit your recipe text with a mouse click now. Here’s a first screenshot (you can spot the new aligned labels in the admin_insert page there):

A few days ago I added the abbility to use what I call “style variables” in the CSS for a theme. This makes it possible to install a theme independently from your directory structures. If you need to reference to an image, you don’t have to provide the full pathname now, you can write something like this:

.style-with-image {
background-image: url(%BASEDIR%/images/example.png);
}

The variable %BASEDIR% would be expanded to the base directory for the current theme, i.e. "/ricettedir/themes/current", when the stylesheet is read and included into the HTML header for each page. This way Crisoft Ricette is able to switch themes on the fly and the themes are getting independent from the server directory structure. I think this is a major improvement for the next release, where I want Crisoft Ricette to be better configureable and adaptable to your sites design.

Maybe there will be more of this variables in the future, but at the moment I can’t think about more useful things. As always, you can leave comments here if you need more functionality or more explanation about something.
