Design and Skin Customization

I just get "Invalid Domain" error when I try to view the licenses you have installed (using the marketplace license browser). Do you have Together installed? If so, is it working? Can we do support for ujCategories using ujTogether? (I haven't had much chance to test Together yet).

I see an ip address for your site in my licenses tab, so I'll create a license and send an invite for the channel unless you let me know another address. I'll do that tomorrow.

Design and Skin Customization

Take a look at ujCategories, I think it will cover some of the things you are looking at. It doesn't work with charts out of the box, but I think it will do what you want with some adjustments.

Let me know if you wnat to try it and I'll get you access to the module.

Documents module missing form designer button?

Suggestions


I'd use that feature in another module which creates sections in the same manner as jrDocs.

I made a shared projects module for a client based on jrDocs, and I know it would be useful to them. I did add form designer into the mix in an early version, but assumed that there would be problems (otherwise jrDocs would already use form designer) and not enough budget, so I removed it before testing.

I'd be really interested in it for another module(s) which uses sections as well. It does things with page layouts. Form designer would make it awesome.

My assumption was that if form designer worked with sections jrDocs would have it, and so that using a sections type module was a trade off, gaining sub items but losing the form designer. If form designer works with sections functions, well that would make my day! And I'd be able to test it quite a bit over the next few weeks.

Documents module missing form designer button?

Suggestions

jrDocs doesn't have form designer capabilities, or I haven't found them yet. I had assumed that was because of the multi section types. I'd be very interested in it as a feature if it is possible.

On rereading, my smilie looks dumb.

I’m not specifically a bootstrap fan, I’m sure all of the other current css/html frameworks are pretty good as well. But I would go as far as to say that bootstrap html/css is much better than jr5 html/css, extensively and near-perfectly documented and widely used/experimented with (plenty of fiddles to prove it). Twibootstrap is just one of the frameworks, but they are all pretty similar (I say that from skim reading), for good reason.

The main benefit (of using a framework) is the docs (and I think you would refer to them several times a week like I do). The docs make it very easy for all to use, from noob to team, and you need to worry less about mobile: Generally things tend to work pretty well.

I reckon you all probably looked at the frameworks when you were designing jr5. It seems like you were (when looking at the code), but maybe a trick was missed: the completeness, docs and wider experimentation funnel.

Bootstrap, Foundation, others:

Michael has a basic bootstrap skin on github. It would be really cool to work up a viable alternative to the current core htm/css there. Looks like a potential win/win direction to me, so it’s a gamble. Maybe a significant improvement for jr6, or 5.2.

It isn’t apparent until you add/replace jr elastic css with anything else.

I don’t know what the html or css specs say about it, but in my experience headings always clear themselves so the content below them appears below them. I’ve never needed to use a br tag after a heading to make it behave like a hX tag, normal.

So finding that you need to set the first br after a heading to 0 height in css or js is very confusing to figure out. Pretty easy to fix though, you just set the height of the first br after a heading to 0, and then wonder why? So I’m off on a tangent...

But have you ever had to do that after a hX tag before? I haven't.

Hmmm, because headings always stand on their own line, shouldn't that be done in css?

If you choose not to use jrElastic-specific flavor css you will always need to remove that br tag or set it's height to 0.

If modules provided a class on the br, and a note*** in the docs to always look out for the br tag that you need to get rid of, but I think it would be better not to require a br after a heading in the html in order to have the following content on a new line.

*** Make that a prominent note, my guess is that this unusual use of heading html/css will confuse a lot of people, and the more prominent the note the more time will be saved. I don't think I've ever come across anything before where I needed to use a br to clear a html heading tag.
