Major Template Changes to Item Listing Pages...

[Bob]

Staring with SC 2.2.0, there are some MAJOR Template Changes for the Item Listing pages ie, Showcase Home, Category, Member, Tag, Field Search, Find New etc.

I've marked this as Partially Implimented as I am still making adjustments to it. I will update it and will list templates that have been effected, those that will be removed and new ones that will replace the old ones.

This was IMO a very necessary change not only for you, but for me as well. For example, to make ONE change to how something was being displayed for an item on the listing pages, I'd literally have to edit dozens of templates. Now it will be much easier for changes to be made both by myself for updates and yourself for customization.

(will add more information as it becomes locked in)

I like the fact your going down the xen media gallery look with the grid listings, call me web design OCD but I like pages and systems to all have the same look,feeling and flow to them.

Plus if you get the gallery support for albums in showcase them it will make it look even more like it's all part of a core system.

Thumbs up

I think it looks pretty darn sharp myself! Only thing that I will be changing from this is the "featured" banner. I do not like it where it is, so I will come up with something between now and time to release (or not lol).

 

[C.Birch]

I don't think the featured banner looks to bad personally.

Maybe give featured items a new background css class so people can make the featured items stand out from the others via making its box background another color if they so wish?

 

[Bob]

The class 'featured' is in the main container div when the item is "Featured", so you can use that on any element within a given block to add or modify any sub classes.

.itemContainer.featured
{
    background-color: purple;
 }

This has been fully implemented
