Indexhibit Support

Hello everyone !

Starting from the "no-show" format on a portfolio I wish to start from scratch, alightsociety.com, I was wondering why inputting the specific css code to hide the new index div was not working properly.

Below you will find the code I'm attempting to put in a specific exhibition format:

1. class Exhibit
2. {
3. function createExhibit()
4. {
5. $OBJ =& get_instance();

$OBJ->page->exhibit['exhibit'] = $OBJ->vars->exhibit['content'];
return $OBJ->page->exhibit['exhibit'];
}
}

function dynamicCSS()
{
return "#index {display:none;}";
}

Would you by any chance have an idea about this ?

Cheers,

Baptiste

I'm not quite sure what you are doing. The above code isn't really CSS (except that one line).

It would be better to approach this by making a custom theme or a plugin that shows/hides the index. Placing this code into the template directly is not the way to go about this.

Well I didn't explain things clearly, I apologize.

There was a beautiful method in the first indexhibit that enabled custom css to be applied on certain exhibition formats through the dynamicCSS() function at the end of every php exhibition format file.

I wonder why adding css in this portion of an exhibition format and activating it on an exhibit doesn't render the css part.

The idea behind this is to be able to apply a specific css to each exhibit. Currently I work by inputting

and

in the exhibits text fields, and desactivating the text processing. But I'm sure a more elegant solution exists.

1. <link rel="stylesheet" href="alightsociety.com/ndxzsite/css/home.css" type="text/….

Because, all you are doing is creating a function - it's never called in the script so nothing happens. If you want to enact CSS only for use with the Visual Index format you can do this...like:

1. body.format-visual_index #index { display: none; }

Very simple this way...

Or, another way is to make a new template set that simply doesn't even have the #index.
