Almost. We were discussing final details on it today. This week!

Uh perfect! I cannot wait! ^^ Very happy to hear about it!

Vaska A / 2012-12-04 11:36:47   

Working on it right now...

Hey Vaska, Should I keep and eye on this thread for the release?

Karma / 2012-12-11 08:40:19   

How is going the conversion?....

arsondpi / 2012-12-11 08:45:05   

Guys - it's nearly finished. Once it's released you'll see it (just like you've seen the Slideshow plugin getting it's second beta up to this point)

Just hold on -
:-)

nsandstorm / 2012-12-11 10:09:49   

What's "nearly finished" mean? I'm so excited I just can't hide it. It's like Christmas.

Vaska A / 2012-12-11 10:30:08   

If I release it now, with the couple of really bad bugs it has, people will be upset.

nsandstorm / 2012-12-11 10:42:54   

I'm going to sit here an stare at you through the internets with that grumpy cat meme -look 'til it's done.

Vaska A / 2012-12-11 10:48:50   

I love grumpy cats!

Vaska A / 2012-12-11 11:01:05   

Ok, here it is...problems and messiness and all. This is at it is for the moment - you can do the following things with it:

- try it - maybe you will like it
- tell us of bugs/problems you see
- help resolve bugs
- moral support and high fives

It works really well with Indexpand menus but it's probably best to use a transition speed of zero. Also, the #index has a fixed height which you can adjust - the problem has always been that it's possible for the menus to extend too far and that is also a limitation.

PS: Columner was created by Mathieu - all credit goes to him. When we do this release officially I'll make sure to do all the proper credits and links to him. ;)

nsandstorm / 2012-12-11 12:03:46   

Good stuff, works well on first glance.

What would be the simplest way using CSS to center the exhibit area? I got fairly good results setting auto-margins on the sides and setting a certain width, but I doubt it's the best solution...?

Thank you for this theme and your time!

arsondpi / 2012-12-11 12:24:16   

immoral support and high five from my end!
:-P

lemathieu A / 2012-12-11 16:01:01   

Immortal support ;)
It's coming…

bipster / 2012-12-14 13:27:15   

Just tried it and it works great!

yungoon / 2012-12-15 15:00:11   

Is there a way to float this into the center?

yungoon / 2012-12-15 15:11:41   

Also, if you check my site right now: raulaltosaar.com the horizontal menu looks unordered because the titles are more than one word so they are forced together. Do I have to have smaller titles or can I change this?

arsondpi / 2012-12-15 16:43:58   

in your style.css (Admin/Assets/Theme, style.css) find the folllowing css selectors and change them into:

  1. #index ul.section {
  2.     margin: 0 10px 2px 0;
  3. }
  4. #index ul {
  5.     float: left;
  6.     list-style-type: none;
  7.     margin: 0 10px 2px 0;
  8.     overflow: visible;
  9.     width: auto;
  10. }
  11. #index .container {
  12.     padding: 25px 0 0 20px;
  13. }

but this thread is for the Columner theme and not customizations of it.
As Vaska mentioned above:
- try it - maybe you will like it
- tell us of bugs/problems you see
- help resolve bugs
- moral support and high fives

I'd like to try the format but not sure where to install the files...

Vaska A / 2012-12-15 18:42:40   

Put them in /ndxzsite/ and then choose the format in Admin > Theme.

yungoon / 2012-12-15 21:10:57   

ok one bug/problem seems to be that sometimes when switching between exhibits the padding between the menu titles changes. Sometimes it is bigger sometimes it is smaller.

Also how can I center the menu?

8bitash / 2012-12-16 16:35:01   

awesome. Just what i've been waiting for. Massive Thumbs up.

bipster / 2012-12-16 19:02:57   

The Columner theme doesn't add all classes to the BODY tag like the Default theme does:

  1. <body id="exhibit-{{id}}" class="section-{{section_id}}"> (Columner)
  1. <body class='{{object}} section-{{section_id}} exhibit-{{id}} format-{{format}}'> (Default)

Vaska A / 2012-12-16 19:59:05   

Yeah, we should do that - very easy to add them, as well.

Tristanh / 2012-12-19 11:37:37   

Hey,
Columner theme looks great - but a couple of things, that may or not be bugs:

I cant add things like bold, italic and underlines to my exhibit texts, and could do before

and my bottom right post-nav scrolls with the page in one exhibit - tristanhutchinson.com/work/terroir-i--ii/
but not in another - tristanhutchinson.com/work/took-strength-to-tackle-those-hills/

Maybe i'm missing something, and I've changed the theme a little for a vertical menu, but really liking the theme....!

Tristanh / 2012-12-19 11:38:55   

And one more thing - the website looks different in Firefox than Safari - with firefox, the exhibit text and img containers appear halfway down the page, another bug or is it something I am missing?

Thanks!

Tristanh / 2012-12-19 11:48:43   

OK update - I can seem to make any changes to my exhibits. I have tried unpublishing them to see if they disappear from my website and it doesn't even do that.

tristanhutchinson.com
Any clues guys n girls?
Thanks.
Tris

arsondpi / 2012-12-19 12:18:20   

I don't see the theme enabled in your site so it's hard to guess what could be wrong...

Tristanh / 2012-12-19 12:31:01   

It is yeah, I just made some changes to it.

Tristanh / 2012-12-22 21:55:35   

Hey guys,
Reuploaded and changed the Columner theme, tis great. Still left, though, with now way to change parts of my exhibit text to italics - I have used both the em and i tags, but no joy.

Website is tristanhutchinson.com - any help would be great!
Tris

Tristanh / 2012-12-22 21:58:15   

apologies for above - i wrote that I have used both 'i' and 'i' tags for italics but no joy!
Thanks.
