Zen Grid Compatible templates - Documentation

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi there

I have just started looking at JoomlaBamboo, and i am quiet impressed with the Zen Grid Framework.

What first came to mind was: "Hey - Wouldn't it be great to use that framework for my own template development (which is nothing like your stuff, but provides me with great pleasure :) ) -

So i started looking for specs for building Zen Grid Compatible templates, but i am having a hard time finding it - Now I wonder: Does it exist - an if so: where to find it?

Hey Jan,

Thanks alot :)


Its certainly something we have on our todo list but wont get to it for a week or so Id say.

The best thing might be to check out the Zen Default template and start to use that as a base.

It should give you some ideas in regards to how the css works. Its due for an update and will get one in a day or so when we roll out v1.0.5 of the framework which has a few improvements.

I assume you read these articles on the framework:

Thanks Anthony

Hi Anthony

That was a damned quick reply . I'm even more impressed :)

I take It that by "The Zen default template" you mean the original Zen Grid template as of November last year ?

And hey: Olsen is a Danish familyname - You got Danish ancestors or? (I know: This is no place for small talk - but you know - being a Viking myself and all..)

Hey Jan,

No probs with small talk here.

Ive got Norwegian ancestry as far as I know but its a little murky so could be Danish. I think the original spelling was more Norwegian than Danish anyway.

Actually I mean the Zen Default template - you can get it from here:

www.joomlabamboo.com/downloads/template-downloads by clicking on the zgf framework image.

Cheers Anthony

Hi Anthony

Thanks a lot - i missed that one - I've got the Framework from the Grid-2 quickstart, so i didn't stumple upon the ekstra downloads in the framework.

Olsen in Norwegian is Olsen - and anyway Norway was Danish at one point in time - We where newer great at Empire building..

I'm realy looking forward to working with your stuff.

Hehe - thanks Jan.

I went to school with a Dane called Jan :) but I guess thats probably pretty popular as a name choice.
