Brighthouse 1.2.2 released

Posted by Richard White Thu, 13 Apr 2006 02:39:23 GMT

This it folks, the fabled trifecta: three releases in one day. Starting with AjaxScaffold 3.0.0 release, then the addition of RSS and iCAL feed consumption to Kiko and finally a refresh of Brighthouse. I’m pooped so lets get on with the, mostly minor, changes:

  • Overrode the live/search.rhtml in the theme directory. You no longer have to overwrite files in the Typo codebase for Brighthouse to work.
  • Changed the right sidebar to be absolutely positioned so that text overflows in the content area (like from long text in <pre> tags) wouldn’t wrap the sidebar to the bottom in IE.
  • Made the footer only span the content pane since the layout is no longer floated
  • Styled the older pages links at the bottom and some other sundries that I’ve since forgotten
  • Styled static pages to have the same headers as blog posts

Not really exciting stuff, especially compared to what else has gone on today, but there it is. As always you can download the latest from the Brighthouse page. Goodnight!

    And again?

    Line 35 should be

    <%= render_sidebars %>

    Sorry for spamming your comments figuring out the syntax.

    Marc: I deleted your comments b/c this version of Typo isn’t smart enough to escape HTML elements :) I actually knew of that issue and another with the auto-discovery feeds. I’ll add both of those diffs to the Brighthouse page and/or put an alternate layout into the theme for those running against SVN

    Marc: I’ve put out two versions of Brighthouse now, one for Typo Trunk and one for 2.6.0. If you get Trunk everything should be kosher.

    Richard, great theme. The only problem I’m having is the the graphic for the feed icon not showing up, instead I’m getting the blue bullet like the rest of thel lists in the sidebar. Any idea why?
