Update: CMS 95% Complete! • 09/15/07
Filed: robotim News •I have been working with Textpattern for the past two weeks to build a project documentation site to my liking and I am happy to report that it is 95% complete! (NB: robotim/projects calculates these figures with 5% accuracy.)
Over the past week I have:
- Finished my style sheet. It is organized and thoroughly commented. Therein contained are also some of my beauty secrets.
- Commented the code for the page layouts.
- Created a cool Error 404 page. Check out the inside joke for 8-bit Zelda fans.
- Styled the search results section.
- Created the footer and decided what to do with the sidebar.
- Had a minor panic attack because I thought I accidentally deleted my public_html directory. (I didn’t, by the way.)
Areas for improvement:
- I need to figure out how to make the descriptive blurb (the beige box that appears above all other posts,) only appear on the first page for each category. Right now, only 6 entries will appear on each page, and at the top of every page is the descriptive blurb, which I feel is unnecessary beyond the first page of each category. You will notice this once I have more than 6 posts in a category.
- AJAX-esque stuff: make the cute picture in the welcome blurb change when you select the different drop-down menu items. (Because I think this would be so friggin’ cute!)
- More stuff with AJAX: make the comment box on the article pages expand when you click to comment.
- I want to parse certain entries onto my robotim.net front page, such as articles that I categorize as “news” or maybe the most recent post for each category. That way only fresh and relevant content appears on my web site front page, and all the extra fun stuff stays back here for curious minds to explore.
But like I said, I’ve reached a point where I am happy to begin using /projects to start the documentation.
