While playing with a new layout screen for xoopsfactory I created a theme which will be available for community download after some more tests, actually running static xhtml and wordpress but xoops will follow.
It shows some impressions I made the last weeks while looking for new ideas for some projects. Valid xhtml and css using the basic xf_openWeb xoops theme we can use the new power of all blocks in XOOPS 2.015 up.
It uses different pagetemplates with different blockusage and blocksettings wich will fit XOOPS theming as well as we are used to play with eg. wordpress.

Temporary! running example. What do YOU think?
Some days ago I was asked to write “A basic introduction into xoops theming or designing layouts for xoops” for designcontest.net. Subheading: What I would tell when a designer asked me to describe what is different or important creating layouts or themes for xoops.
It was thought to be what it was titled, a basic introduction for those who do not know xoops as well and to give a small overview. Perhaps some of you can use it as well?
Actually I’m playing with some fotos I made some time ago. I’ll call the theme xf_autumn if there is one. I remember starting to work with xoops I had an autumn theme too. You can actually view the newest version on my DEMO site.
I’m still playing on it, so I might ask you to look twice.

Here is another version of an experimental xoops theme using a table around the main content (output) of xoops cms to avoid some problems within modultemplates. Those who are not that familiar with css or html asked me to give this as a download for it’s too much to change for theirselves. So, here we are.
Those of you who want to use themes from my downloads may have problems while using XOOPS 2.0.14 or up. The output of < {$xoops_showrblock}> has changed from ‘0′ (zero) to ‘’ (nothing) (:-D)
Some of my (CSS) themes are build to create dynamic classes or mainly ID with smarty output. E.g. if a left and a right block is set active in blockadministration we will have build id=’contentArray0′ (id=’content< {$xoops_lblocks}>< {$xoops_showrblock}>‘). Due to the changes in smarty output up to 2.0.14 the output will be ‘contentArray’. So we have in some cases an ID without matching preferences in stylesheets. To fix this …
