Newbb 4.0

Regretfully it will only be compatible with Xoops version 2.3.1, nevertheless people are eager to upgrade their forums and Xoops version.

The files:
It seems version 4.0 already beholds css driven templates. A closer look learns us that one of the most important files (the newbb_item.html) drives on a nice “css only” structure, which is,.well,….very nice indeed. It even beholds the standard, Xoops widely spread, classes and id’s (head, odd, even etc,..) which is even better because they are spread and defined all over a lot of Xoops themes.

Let’s summarize the files we are going to change and/or alter.

  • newbb_edit_post.html
  • newbb_index.html
  • newbb_index_menu_click.html
  • newbb_index_menu_hover.html
  • newbb_index_menu_select.html
  • newbb_item.html
  • newbb_menu_click.css
  • newbb_menu_hover.css
  • newbb_online.html
  • newbb_poll_results.html
  • newbb_poll_view.html
  • newbb_rss.html
  • newbb_search.html
  • newbb_searchresults.html
  • newbb_thread.html
  • newbb_viewall.html
  • newbb_viewforum.html
  • newbb_viewforum_menu_click.html
  • newbb_viewforum_menu_hover.html
  • newbb_viewforum_menu_select.html
  • newbb_viewforum_subforum.html
  • newbb_viewpost.html
  • newbb_viewtopic_flat.html
  • style.css

A Lot of files!? But don’t be scared, we will go through them one at a time.

Preparations
Of Course we can’t start without having a nice development area so we can view the current templates. Currently we’re setting up the environmentwhich will only display the forum. We are not going to use a theme yet because it can effect our judgments. Later on we’ll try to past it within a dozen of themes. Still having fun?:) (BTW, loving the spelling checker of WordPress, makes my life so much easier)

Xoops Newbb Module

Since I made a custom forum template which fits the new Xoops.nl design I really had a love/hate relationship with the Newbb module templates. Nevertheless, I’m hooked on breaking my brains and bring a bit of usability back into this great module. The upcoming weeks I’m going to produce a nice set of new module templates based on the working version from Xoops.nl. Secondly, the templates will be completely css driven,.,.sounds like fun to me.
