Separating Header & Navigation

JakeJake
edited September 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Folks,
Im working on a new theme for vanilla but I have ran into a few problems, how would I go about seperating the navigation from the header, because at the moment navigation is contained within the header DIV.

Are you with me!?

    I have to say I love Vanilla, but looking through some of the CSS my mind boggles, Mark some of the CSS could be so much easier to edit! Maybe its just me?

    Either a theme or use absolute positioning-- that will pull any element out of its normal flow and allow it to be placed anywhere.

    Give this a shot:#Header ul { position: absolute; top: 200px; }

    Hi!

    Either a theme or use absolute positioning-- that will pull any element out of its normal flow and allow it to be placed anywhere.

    Would be fine, if there would be a way to change the (X)HTML-Structure of a design. Using absolut positions isn't what I like to do! :-(

    If you don't want to use absolute positioning, or floats (which I am trying to do to get the tabs lined up inside a left panel), you can always make a new theme, with whichever markup you desire.

    Thats what I think Im going to do, basically I don't like the way some of the CSS is structured, it makes it to complicated, so i think I'll go for the theme!

    Thanks for the help (and by the way Im not a fan of absolute positioning really, it can easily get messed up in different screen resolutions.)

    You dont really need to be any good with php to edit the theme files, just dont touch it.

    Hello again!

    >>you can always make a new theme, with whichever markup you desire.<<

    That's what I'm doing, but I have also to change some values inside conf/conf.php, didn't find a way to add new css-files, or remove the old ones from the header.

    Perhabs, this is all my fault, but it looks, as I have to write a extension, to support my design!

    You can do a import to add additional CSS...

    On that same vein, I was wishing for some style-attached JS to use for rollover menu effects

    Hi!

    That's not the same! ;-)

    Vanilla is very good for Extensions, making new designs lags some of the possibilities we have for extensions.
