Templates for Elxis CMS

[eliasan]

There are so many things that we do every day regarding Elxis CMS but we fail to communicate.

So I decided to "break" this tradition.

I am currently working on adjusting several templates developed originally for Mambo/Joomla to Elxis CMS.

I thought that it would be an easy task. After all, they should be compatible.

And they are!

But, some (or more than some) of them had poorly written code, missing images, .xml files that were not describing well the template.

So I had to spend time fixing code, founding flaws, fixing them, adding the language position, and arranging module positions based on Elxis.

In Elxis we do not just want to have something that it just works. We want to have things that do work!

P.S.
All signatures of the original authors are left intact. The same applies for requests to pay a fee (to the original authors) in order to remove the signature of the original author.

Please notice that the next version of Elxis will use only divs in templates, modules, etc not tables.

datahell, what will happen if the already used template is with tables?

Elxis can not and wont modify your template. You will continue having a site which will use for it's basic structure tables but Elxis will fill-in your template positions with non-table html.

If you dont know it you can already customise the modules style in your template when you load a template possition.

<?php mosLoadModules('POSITION', 'STYLE'); ?>

So if your template loads your modules using tables will continue load them as tables. The difference will be only in core components (ie content).

We are moving to a more dynamic appearence that support better modern technologies such as ajax and dhtml. Also Elxis code will be HTML/CSS/W3C/Javascript valid and error-free.
