Re: ImpressCMS 4-col themes for dummies (me) - basics and install in 1.3.10

<p>if I manually would "walk around" and fix each "blank-module page" themeing manually, does that contain any problem for future of my site?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; //&nbsp; //&nbsp;</p>

Re: ImpressCMS 4-col themes for dummies (me) - basics and install in 1.3.10

<p>Have a look at the old Anatomy of the Default Theme document. You can read about the basic structure of a theme and how Smarty works. This is an old document, so it still uses&nbsp;tables to control the layout (now we mainly use div and span), but the general structure of a theme has not changed much.</p>

<p>https://xoops.net.br/docs/xdocman/xn-103.pdf</p>

<p>You can think of Smarty as a placeholder for a piece of data, kind of like a variable. In your PHP script you can assign values (including snippets of HTML) to smarty variables, and they will be output in the theme at the desired location.</p>

Re: ImpressCMS 4-col themes for dummies (me) - basics and install in 1.3.10

<p>My problem is several since I want a 3 + 4 cols site (non centered).</p>

<p>"master index /theme"&nbsp; ==> 3 cols and 4 cols (my widths).</p>

<p>To understand the doings and really manage my site I must understand:&nbsp;&nbsp; Theme manager&nbsp;&nbsp; /master-html &css&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /theme-widths(accordingly)&nbsp;&nbsp; /OR working around manually together with mentioned factors.</p>

<p>Being a newbe its often possible to start lean and work uppwards. In this case theme and procedure around must be deconstructed as a whole before understanding and building up my stuff. One must see the complet steps of the coder to understand the nube situation.</p>

<p>From simple upwards is easy - To deconstruct the whole "big part" is very complex.&nbsp;&nbsp; (I don't handl this and and also requested a price suggestion via PM).</p>

<p>Another way to do it would be to find a theme that has roughly the columns you want, and start modifying it to suit your needs. You do not need to know much about html or css, I only use the basics, and have no clue at all about Javascript. That doc should cover enough to get you started.</p>

<p>This is so stupid... I allready have 3 & 4 cols but I don't manage to reagerange widths. ... still the problem also is that I'd like a true template, not the fix and trix stuff that I'm now into. And really... I'm not sure how the menue positioning can allow 3 and 4... ist almost like the themes in my space is not connected to my site.</p>

<p>I am working on an updated version of the Bootstrap3 theme on Github :&nbsp;https://github.com/fiammybe/impresscms-theme-bootstrap3</p>

<p>This will be a cleanup and a small evolution based on the things I've learned working on the new design of the ImpressCMS site.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After that, the big goal is to get a Bootstrap4 version up and running.</p>

Re: ImpressCMS 4-col themes for dummies (me) - basics and install in 1.3.10

<p>I installed themes (bootstr3.0.3 /yours) some time ago. It seemed to install, but the reaction of template mangr-module was slightly wrong (I think). Is it possible to reverse this install?</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>sorry for the late reply. To uninstall a theme, you need to do 2 things.</p>

<ol>
<li>You need to go to the admin Control Panel (ACP) and choose another theme as standard in the ACP -> Preferences -> General Settings -> Default theme</li>
<li>You need to remove the folder of the theme from your server. Currently that is not yet possible from within ImpressCMS, you will need to use a FTP program or one of the tools hosting providers offer to upload/remove files on your hosting solution.</li>
</ol>
