ok, at the moment this is only in 7161 admin

checkout the homepage admin section...... new templates are implemented and they are way better'n the old ones

new homepages come with podcasting, RSS blog and a dedicated forum (which you can delete posts if logged in to 7161)

the whole other homepage admin has also been tweaked and now the image-gallery section and editing colours etc is all in easy to handle dedicated pages

these new homepage and gallery edit sections can be selected from admin only after applying a new homepage template....

ok, it works BUT there may be bugs IF you created a homepage ages ago back when we had the very old v1 template which looked shite

ABOUT THE NEW TEMPLATES

there's 2 choices right now... once thats all beta tested we can add more easily at anytiome so there'll be plenty coming along for more choice

you can choose template-1 or 2 - Both are fully colour-editable and also allows an image or FLASH banner to be added

or

tEMPLATE 1 ALSO HAS 26 FIXED TEMPLATES YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN WITH A SIMPLE SELECT AND UPDATE BUTTON - THESE FIXED TEMPLATES CANT BE COLOUR EDITED AT ALL BUT ARE AN EASY FIX

shit caps, damn

um.....

the second template will also have 26 non colour-editable variations added soon

anyways, they are a huge improvement, and frankly although we cant compete for site traffic, they anihilate myspace pages for appearance, and still no adverts anywhere

All your added news displays on the opening page btw so you can use the front-page as a blog which appears under your main intro profile text & user-image

here's my test one which i set the colours and banner for:

http://www.7161.com/~k

this ones a fixed template:

http://www.7161.com/~test_dj

anyways, if you wanna test it just mail info@7161 with any problems

cheers

i like the track page

what about the fonts ? will we be able to change them ? Through the different templates, wich i don't see anymore.

Oh, and the presentation text justification, that really needs fixing, it looks bad.

Also, woul it be feasible to be cross-genre ? Say i upload a guitar driven track and choose heavy-metal in the flava selection, it then pops in the metal-indie section instead of annoying these good people in the electronic section.

ok new additions - We got a mail request for this.... wether the name/title apears over the added image banner or not... can this be chosen?

it's done

you need to reset your template for this to work (doing that does not overwrite any colours you defined already)

You now have in the homepage banner-admin section an option to turn on/off your artist name/title from displaying over the banner bg (only if it's an image banner, not flash)

you can switch this even after adding the banner to see the difference

justification ?.. whats wrong with it? explain more please, we did lay this out to work best when people add a decent intro text to their page, it doesnt look so good with just one or 2 lines of text

links page?.. i dont think people would want that enuff or it's look daft with just a few links... not sure

agreed, track page shoudl be under header.. i'll sort that but it'll mean re-setting your choosen homepage template again when done to add the new code to your page

Ok, i'll try adding more blurb and see how it looks.

Point taken about the lins page

I don't really mind having to reset everything, we're beta testing anyway. I think it's worth it, it'll look better and you get a more unified look overall

Well, you're right, it does look lovely with a full paragraph of blurb, so no problem then.

You know what would look real pretty ? The media page, it would beneficiate looking like the "My Online tracks edit/delete" page, with track image besides title and the brief track info.

just a suggestion
