Any to give users their own selection of homepage layout?

just to clarify for me and others hgtonight

Is this what you mean

class ABC implements Gdn_IPlugin {
 needs  Setup and Disable functions

vs.


class DEF  extends Gdn_Plugin {
   doesn't  need Setup and Disable functions

I just looked at the source code to make sure I wasn't leading you astray. In Vanilla 2.1, you need to define a Setup() method to implement the Gdn_IPlugin interface. I.e. class ABC implements Gdn_IPlugin. You do not need to declare a Setup() method when extending Gdn_Plugin: i.e. class DEF extends Gdn_Plugin. The setup method is executed when you enable the plugin in the dashboard.

You may define a OnDisable() method. This will be executed when you disable the plugin via the dashboard.

Sorry for the confusion, as some things have changed.

it all corroborates now!

class MobileThemeHooks implements Gdn_IPlugin {

does not have a OnDisable() method.

but it does have public function Setup() { }

Interfaces and inheritance are two facets of object oriented programming (OOP).

Knowing a class implements an interface and knowing the interface lets you isolate functionality without knowing what is actually happening. For more information specific to PHP, check out http://www.php.net//manual/en/language.oop5.interfaces.php

and then add (add what other elements you want to change size of

CustomHomepage/design/chp_large.css

 .Message {
    font-size: 150%;
}

 .Title {
    font-size: 130%!important;
}

and

CustomHomepage/design/chp_small.css

 .Message {
    font-size: 80%;
}

 .Title {
    font-size: 80%!important;
}

DoyceT

Looks like I've got some things to test in the morning.

vrijvlinder

I would not bother to change each one, if you use body it will simply enlarge all the elements 80% more than their values.

the smallest font will only get 80% larger than say 9px making it still small but readable along with the rest of it.

peregrine

this needs to be removed from the above code

var_dump($FontSize);

I know you know css V, But...

I'll believe you after you test the actual plugin with bittersweet with your modified and posted

CustomHomepage/design/chp_small.css
CustomHomepage/design/chp_large.css

after looking at discussions page, categories page, and a discussion page.

since

    html,body,div, span, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, ins, kbd, q, samp, small, strike, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td{
    font-size:120%!important;
    }

was 1/2 red-herring and you can test by playing the real outcome with web-designer.

vrijvlinder

No not herring, just needed to add a:link so it works for the titles, try with this

html, body, div, span, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, ins, kbd, q,  samp, small, strike, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, a:link {

font-size: large!important;
}

peregrine

@vrijvlinder

did you try it? doesn't look good in table view.

peregrine

I still also wonder if it would be faster or better to pull in all wildcarded values

GetMeta($this->User->UserID, Plugin.CustomHomepage.%',

and this bug I added needs to be changed

from:

public function CategoriesController_Render_Before($Sender) {
    $this->_AddFontCSS($Sender);
  }

to

public function CategoriesController_Render_Before($Sender) {
    $this->AddFontCSS($Sender);
  }

and then parse since its now getting four meta values.

CustomHomepage/design/chp_small.css

         .Message {
            font-size: 80%!important;
        }

         a.Title {
            font-size: 80%!important;
        }


    .Title a {
        font-size: 80%!important;
    }

and CustomHomepage/design/chp_large.css

     .Message {
    font-size: 150%!important;
}

 a.Title {
    font-size: 130%!important;
}

.Title a {
    font-size: 130%!important;
}

vrijvlinder

I guess switching font size is not as easy as switching font family....

@peregrine said:

I considered doing that originally. The current version only pulls in data when on a useful page (and even then, just one query).

It might be better to request '%' on the profile edit page. It sucks that SetMeta auto prefixes but GetMeta won't remove the prefix. Brings a dependency on the Plugin name.

@DoyceT

let me know if it ss ok with you and I'll will try to attach a zip file with my changes here if I have permission to do so or if the browser lets me. (I've had troubles uploading zips in discussussions in recent times, not sure if it is just me or a permission problem or a bug or the browser).

DoyceT

@peregrine
Sounds good! I haven't been following this last round of revisions as closely, because my users just use ctrl +/- to adjust screen displays, but I can certainly stick it into the addon as an option.

peregrine

apparently I might have succeeded with chrome.

fingers crossed.

@‌DoyceT

this is the zip formatted and with css files (you might want to play with them) and formatted default,php with font size option.

After you download this DoyceT and you upload new version with fonts or modify it, you can contact a moderator to delete this zip, so users get the new version from add-ons area instead.

peregrine

did you ever try the font size deal? or decide it wasn't worth the trouble for you site's needs

DoyceT

I haven't implemented it yet. The learning curve for the users getting to pick their own layouts has kept me... pretty occupied since I turned it on.

Some days, it's hard to remember I volunteered for this...
