Two variations of a theme called xf_2007 for download on xoopsfactory.com. Here comes the red one.

This theme is made to fit xoops version 2.0.16 above including the new blockfeatures.

Here I am with a xoops theme version of my “xf_hokamp_2007_blue” which is actually running on my personal weblog as a version for wordpress. This theme is made for xoops gte (>= greater than equal) 2.0.16, XHTML 1.0 Transitional and valid CSS.

It’s a “width:770px; centered layout” theme with a right siteblock only. XOOPS left and right blocks will appear in this sidebar when set active. To get a layout without a sidebar for eg. “edituser” or e.g a forum, just go to blockadmin and set no blocks active.

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 …

Some of you found this theme on the theme demo site and I had some requests for this theme, so here it is! It is a varitation of one of my css themes, though, in this case it uses a table to position the basic content. It was a test to avoid unwanted content placement below left blocks on modules which do not use valid xhtml code thus crashing the layout. It was planned to avoid errors while using clearings of floats (which are not there) and tables using inline width of 100% what was causing problems within a floated layout.

Many of my visitors downloaded xf_openWeb but some of them had problems displaying modules like forum or modules which use many tables with width=”100%” or clearing elements. xf_openWeb is a 3 column full width theme using floatings to position things, there was no width set for the centercontent. This has some disadvantages while using preference table width=”100%” within the centercontent. Some browser were not able to calculate the width correct and display the content below the left block or overflow.
