Changing Theme

Diaph / 2009-02-27 00:05:53   

Hi there,

Regarding the fact I'm quite a beginner I would like to apologize in advance in case of my question would be obvious.. but after many search I didn't find the answer.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to have a different theme inside of the same website. Obviously I got how to change the background color of the galleries and I got how to modifiy the menu using php but I didn't get how to be able to have a changing menu.

Concretely I would simply like to have a different background menu color regarding the section I click. It is possible ? and how ?

Cheers

D.

When you create a new section it attaches itself to an id number - you can find this by going into the Exhibits > Settings and clicking on a section to edit it - look in the browser address bar for "id=some number".

Then, in your template add this to the 'body'...it will then look like this...

  1. <body id='section_id_<%section_id%>'>

Then, in your style.css file you can apply background colors like this...

  1. body#section_id_1 { background-color: #0c0; }
  2. body#section_id_2 { background-color: #000; }
  3. body#section_id_3 { background-color: #f00; }

And that should do it.

Sorry just have another question regarding the topic. There is a possibility to apply the background color only for one section inside of a folder ?

Seems that even with different id it apply the same background color of all the section of a folder (Exhibition)

...why don't you try specifying it for each exhibit?
(if I understood the question well...)

You right arsondpi thanks, but for some reasons, after I modified the style.css (with black à default color) I was not able anymore to use a white color... I probably messed with the default color.

Anyway it work with the first value after the perfect white, so it's enough for now.

Thank you !

Vaska - is there an id appying to the images in an exhibit?

For example, can I use the CSS above, replacing color with image, and refering to the 'first' image in that gallery to load as background?

Cheers!

you can see my post here: http://www.indexhibit.org/forum/thread/4841/

if i wanted the bg behind the project area to be the first image, do I HAVE to upload it again, or can it automatically use the first image as bg (via the 'id')

dajinni / 2009-08-04 10:25:46   

fixed ..

sorry - just didn't want the unfinished page to be linked to)

dajinni / 2009-08-04 13:24:26   

I moved the link to 'contact info' area - this is not enough?

I saw other sites on here do this.

It does not say it has to be on the main page in the index.php or the forum rules ... ?

dajinni / 2009-08-04 13:31:49   

?

Vaska A / 2009-08-04 13:36:55   

We call it as we see it...you mean the 'contact' page that doesn't even work on your site?

I'm not on this site all day...and I'm going away now so I can focus on real work. When we can find a live link with credit to Indexhibit all will be good.

dajinni / 2009-08-04 13:38:44   

index.php
" you must provide a link to Indexhibit on your site someplace - thank you "

OK found the problem:

The opening/collapsing menu only works well if you have the title of a section visible in the 'settings' properties for each section.

Otherwise, the first link in that section will become the title, and no longer function as a link.

Hi,

"Then, in your template add this to the 'body'...it will then look like this...
"

I am sorry to be such a neophyte, but I really don't know where to insert this.
Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Hi,

"Then, in your template add this to the 'body'.."

I am sorry to be such a neophyte, but I really don't know where to insert this. Where is the template?
Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Hi all!

I've been working to set up my site this weekend and for my last CSS addition, I'm also looking to change the background color of each section.

I was able to change the color of the menu and the body sections, but there are some areas that still remain white. Is there additional code I need to write to cover these areas too?

My site is at http://03378f9.netsolhost.com. (You can see the background colors in action when you compare the Portfolio section with the Personal section.)

I'm not well versed in code, but I've been picking up a lot as I experiment with the site.

Let me know if you can help!

Thanks in advance,
Guido

The problem happens when viewing on Safari and not on Firefox. Am I missing a code in the CSS stylesheet?

Thanks again.

blameme / 2011-04-06 02:41:39   

I guess you fixed this right?

gfditto / 2011-04-06 18:30:13   

Somehow, really randomly, things started to look okay.

Thanks for getting back!
