Because I would use the hell out of that template ]]> Site Suggestions Sun, 13 May 2012 07:42:02 +0000 http://www.joomlabamboo.com/forum/site-suggestions/68427-smartphone-template#68427 http://www.joomlabamboo.com/forum/site-suggestions/68210-barebones-responsive-template-and-zengrid-suggestions#68210 http://www.joomlabamboo.com/forum/site-suggestions/68210-barebones-responsive-template-and-zengrid-suggestions#68210
For a while now I've been progressively moving to wordpress for customers sites, mainly because there are already a number of WP "theme frameworks" that tremendously simplify the design tuning process by incorporating the ability to define CSS colours for the various template blocks individually, without having to go through the css files editing. One just uses the colour pickers and see the result immediately.

Some examples of such can be found here: themeforest.net/item/good-space-responsi...al-wp-theme-/2278615 and here: themeforest.net/item/nx01-responsive-dra...rdpress-them/2284528

Joomla with the modules concept already covers the positioning issues, but the template CSS coding is still done by hand (with some exceptions like Gantry).

I know that the "oldshcool people" will argue that a developer should edit the code, notepad is purity,... ...., but actually being able to do it visually really speeds up the work.
Adapting a WP site to a customer takes only hours instead of days that a J! site takes. In 80% of the cases, one just uses the framework and adapts it to the customer needs rather than spending time searching for the right template and then hardcoding it.

Jommlabamboo is the design house that is more advanced in J! responsive templates and extensions and I really like your zendgrid framework possibilities, like the sticky nav, the tabbed modules, the hidden panel and, of course, the responsive ability.
I also love your designs - in fact it's the reason I found you in the first place, a fresh breath in the J! ecosystem - however lately all templates seem to have "too much template", leaving less room for content to be king and, specially becoming more and more complicated to customize, thus leaving the choice of either giving the customer a site that is equal to many others, or investing a lot of time in customizing and debugging it. Or moving to WP and doing it in one afternoon.

I don't know how complicated it can be to do, but my suggestion would be to relaunch a version of the "Responsive" template with the option to use the colourpicker for the main elements of the template (rather than just predefined highlights) in the zengrid admin panel.


Some additional configurations could be:
- boxed or unboxed layout
- colorpickers for menus and submenus
- background selector


That way, one could mimick, for example, Rasa or Newstream using a responsive template and taking advantage of your excelent framework, zentools & extensions and K2 Zenkit.

Just my 5 cents

I have the module running, and all I can get it to display is "more info..." when its set to a single twitter account. If I set to multiusers it displays a "Follow me on Twitter" link to the right account.

I moved it around to different module positions just to see if that would make a difference, and it didnt. I have the JB Library plugin installed and enabled, and I'm using the Pure template with the latest version of the framework. Outside of K2 and JCE, I have no other components or plugins installed. I barely started on this site, so haven't got a chance to really install anything else yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried another third party twitter module (after this one was giving me fits) and it worked fine, but I'd rather just use the JB one to keep everything simple.

You've made a typo in one of your headers in the Zenkit blog post:

A colelction of responsive K2 templates ...

should be: "A collection of responsive K2 templates ..."

jTweet works fine otherwise and if I disable jTweet then the slideshow also works fine with jb library but if all 3 are activated then the slideshow does not load (though the frame is still there in the html). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling but that doesn't seem to have helped - I've also tried changing "Enable Unique jQuery" from Yes to No and back again but those don't change anything either.

One of the great things about the jb slideshow was the ability to position text anywhere in the display.

The zentools equivalent does not allow the same flexibility of positioning.

The crunch comes when you use jb slideshow with the new mobile friendly designs you are creating. It wont resize in the same way as the zentools slider.

Are there any plans to add the text position flexibility to the zentools slider as this creates great displays of images and overlapping text?

I will try not to beg, but would love to see this improvement - the best of both modules.
