Templates available

that breaking issue is very common and it has to do with font sizes. It does not really matter which browser but if one renders the fonts bigger or you have your fonts set to a bigger default than the developer of a site desired it will push things out of place and you get that issue.

I’m not sure if anybody is interested but I also have quite a few themes up on my site some are experimental and don’t work fully but most do.I dont have a download section yet so if you are interested just ask.

I’m sorry if this is thread jacking let me know and I delete the link.

I certainly have no objection. I’m pretty easy to get along with

I imagine that the font size issue would cause the block to be slightly bigger, and it would be just a bit too big for the "sliding-door" image to cover. I’ll just extend the left side of the right image a few pixels.

ALERT
thread jack!


hehe, sorry susan!

Could you send me your koobric-3 column template? I’ve been trying to get my head around the way you did your template for the past 2 days. Well, actually Susan’s design with the thrashbox too.

Thanks!

I’m actually stuck between both the koobric look and the thrashbox one. Also, the CSS level is still way above mine so I figure that by these examples I could extend my own abilities. I’m lacking that’s for sure. My goal is to build a template with ZERO tables. lolo, just to say that I can do it

Thanks!!!

Maybe you would get a bang out of my Mondrian template!

Two-columnT-box will be made available when I get this dynamic sideblock placement worked out.

hehe, saw that one. Not bad but my target audience is in need of something a little more simple and dumbed down. Japan is still has a bit to go before I throw something interesting out there. ugh

There’s a few nice simple ones here:

and a good general css layout tutorial here:

I don’t know which website you’re talking about, but I guess you saw this : http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/board,4.0.html

If you’re talking blue robot, just copy-paste the code for a given layout...
If you’re new here, I suggest your read Template Basics in MODx documentation.

Unlike some CMS, MODx has no click-and-go templating system : templates you can download contain html files, css and images. You have to install it manually (correct me if I am wrong, I mostly create my own templates. I have downloaded some to check the structure, but I am not aware of any auto-installer)

Not yet; I think somebody is at least planning a backend template and snippet installer. All of my packages come with an INTSALL.txt file in the Install folder with instructions on how to install them. Check the Templates forum and look for posts that start with [Template]; these contain the templates various people have made up and made available.

Thanks Susan for the additionnal information. For me, not having an auto-installer is of no consequence : that’s the way I’ve worked with textpattern for quite some time, and it has some up sides.

One being you are more likely to have users understand what they’re doing... the other being it limits the "kubrick syndrome" with lots of look alike clones (see WordPress). This has not happened with textpattern... and also this has brought many coders and designers toward this app... Same could be true of MODx

I understand the need for simplicity for beginners and low-tech users, but at pre-release stage (Ryan, I stand corrected) I don’t know if those users are a target anyway. You need technical-savy people and advanced users to have nice and clean bug reports, provide ideas to get to a Release Candidate... Of course, next stage would allow for this kind of automated theme installation, but right now I am rather pleased that it’s not there (please don’t shoot me !)
