we've been messing with some CSS to make lots of different homepage templates you can swap with a single click

here's one i'm working on

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

the idea is the top image can be preset, or an option version with editable colours and banner image which is replaced on upload


anyways first when we've finished the preset-create code fully we'll add the basic fixed templates, then add the colour-editable one

plus there'll be more templates with different layouts, for the first batch it's menu on top-right as in these examples:

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout2.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout3.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout4.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout5.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout6.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout7.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout8.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout9.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout10.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout11.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout12.html

http://www.7161.com/templates/layout13.html


we'll add some more with a variety of image-tops, like a deejay freindly series etc... once this is setup with a few templates it'll be a piece of piss to add new ones - soon, i'll prolly finish this over christmas hols

Good idea. Fiddling about with a page to get it to look roughly like any of the templates takes time and is not as much fun as making music!

But I agree with Milan. Perhaps the best solution for folks like me is to be able to personalise a template?

I've tried with a page on MySpace, but the table table table stuff is too fiddly, pictures end up where I didn't expect, etc, so a CSS I could edit would be cool.

don't worry.. you can still use your own, we'll leave the curent templates in place

ok, here's what'll happen

those variations above are all based on just one LAYOUT TEMPLATE... the colour style can be easily changed (when we finaly added the choices to admin) with a single click, for people who dont want to faff abut doing all the colours etc

I'll make some more LAYOUT templates, so there's a choice of layouts, and each layout template will have colour variations as with the one above

so we might have say 5 layout templates, each with 20 colour/top-image variations.. and

each layout template will allow the extra option to custom define the top banner-image (or add a flash-banner) and colours.

geddit? once the templates r done it's a doddle to change colours - you just reload with a different CSS definition, but i have to do that first, THEN work the code for adding your own colours which will also require a much clearer admin area for all that stuff, so it's obvious what you're changing

we can't get too crazy tho or it might not work in browsers, tbh, not even sure this one works outside IE 6 & Firefox 1.5, anyways, it's the way to go for sure

been working on them, here's the lastest layout (not the best style, but has all the code tweaks to be added to other templates

i've added XML blog feeding for users, so any news you add via danetech or 7161 admin gets an XML newsfeed.... tested in google reader and bloglines (the site the bbc recommend to read their XML) - seems to work ok

anyways check it if you like - the default Homepage shows the artists details/default image and news/blogs added in last days (not decided how far back yet)

it WILL display images added with news items, such as flyers, but images must be .gif or .jpeg to display in XML feeds- .jpg doesn't work

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


further tweaks coming - i've got it so all the new template homepages can be instantly created, but i gotta go back and tweak a few things more.... more soon

thats how far i got with the custom colour template 1

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

the flash upper is uolpoaded from homepage admin as usual, the new templates pick that up, and the template stretches it to 760 x 200, i can make the height less if it's thought best, mebbe 160 or whatever?

all the colours i choose are set from the new admin colour editor which is way more easy, if you use PS or something to get the tones more co-ordinated you can make subtle changes

all the colours can be set for the menu bg & txt and mouse-overs for bg & txt

the itunes podcasting is all added in, as is RSS output for blog/feed of news

I also addedi na switch so it records your homepage url and that can be added ot the artist pages on the site.

the podcasting output displays in a reader with an image for each news item, and links for each item (as added with each 'add news' addition in admin)

The podcast reader if displaying channel stuff shows your INTRO profile description from your profile edit with your default user-image if added.


you gotta use jpg or gif images in news for them to display in rss reader


anyone wanna test? there's some bugs no doubt
