Plogger Support Forum - a couple of pointers for a new layout pls Thu, 28 Mar 2024 10:55:16 +0000 http://www.plogger.org/forum/ Lussumo Vanilla 1.1.10 a couple of pointers for a new layout pls http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=341&Focus=1706#Comment_1706 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=341&Focus=1706#Comment_1706 Fri, 30 Dec 2005 20:50:20 +0000 puk
Basically i want a simple lookin site, just want a header, plogger in the middle and a footer, but its drivin me nuts, i'm sure the css isn't hard to do it but thinkin lack of sleep and working dodgy hours have inhibited my thought train.

I want the main div, the one with the images/gallery within to enlarge with larger pics upto a certain size, whence it'll become scrollable, but the footer is still below it.

Whats the best way to go about this, do it with a index.php file or alter the gallery.php file and add the divs within the code, so the footer always follows the size of the gallery and the main containing div always keeps the right size?

I'm just a bit confused and wonderin which way to attack this.

Look at display:table-cell; and display:inline-block; for the slides, and overflow:auto; to get the thumbnails to sit on a single row.

What you've undertaken isn't particularly hard acording to the CSS spec, your difficulty will be in getting all major browsers to interpret it similarly.

Good luck,

You can put the footer div into the index.php, and it will not be overdrawn.

...

the_gallery();
...


For more functionality, look at upgrading to the nightlies for very nice (though not yet fully functional) theme support.

Cheers,
