Update on the State of Styles

[afuna]

So first of all, we've renamed the CSS class for the tags modules, from module-categories, module-categories_multilevel, module-categories_cloud to module-tags_list, module-tags_multilevel, module-tags_cloud.

Partial list of other things that changed (I'll be editing this a bit later to include some that were left out since I last updated):

• Add ?style=mine to any system-generated links off the page when you are viewing any journal with ?style=mine


• More text options in the wizard


• Fix metadata labels


• Use friends_title appropriately, instead of always global_title

Also, I know some of you have noticed that for a while, on all journal styles, the contextual popup menu has no background. There is a fix for that in the works, that should also go live onto the site right about now.



For those keeping track, these bugfixes and tweaks went live on the site very recently:

And we have a few new features, including some much-requested improvements to the page summary module!

• Improved page summary module -- displays number of comments on hover, option to display as text instead, readpage shows poster names (all layouts)


• Added standard presentation options (number of items per page, customized comment pages) (Zesty)


• Add ability to customize images and backgrounds via properties (Negatives)


• Add control to display tags page as list, cloud, or multilevel. Previously, you could only have the multilevel option. This accidentally made the default a plain list, instead of the original multilevel list, which may surprise some people going into their tags page. We're sorry; we already have a fix in to default back to multilevel, just need to wait for it to go live on site. If you don't want to wait, you can set it for yourself (negatives, tabula rasa; transmogrified is upcoming)

And finally, we've renamed the core2base style to "Tabula Rasa" (I love the name!). The current theme is blank as a slate; I'll let the more front-endy folks take care of explaining what we have in mind for it, over the next couple of days.
