New install at TOC

[Uncle Krusty]

Just installed last night using a modified version of the Kosmos theme. TOC is an outdoor activities related website. Moving to indexU from one of the free DMOZ link scripts.

Thanks... Just about finished with all of the templating. Now to decide whether I want to spend the time importing the old database.

Howdy Uncle Krusty,

Could you maybe give abit of instruction on the way you got the nice background and border on the edge of the page?

That would be awesome,

Cheers Ezy

I'b be happy to. Once I have finished the integration of the script, I'll package up the template to share with others who are interested. Since I'm in such a hurry to get the templating finished, it's kind of a mess.

I'll add some commenting to the template to make it simpler to follow. If you're only interested in the html bits added to create the inside borders its actually quite easy. A general html table layout with a handfull of image bits. If your comfortable with html and a graphics tool like Adobe or Photo Impact you can quickly creat what is commonly reffered to as a content wrapper. You will split this wrapper into two files (_top.html, _bottom.html) with the '_top' file containing the top half of the table and the '_bottom' containing the bottom half of the table. Inside the IndexU template of your choice, simply add a file include for both the _top & _bottom arround the html to be wrapped. I will also include this stuff into the template package as well.

Cheers,

yeh that would be awesome,

I played around and used css to get that kind of effect, but only on the middle part of the page, not in the header or footer, but would be great to see how you have done it...
