Corporate Weblog

[baselve]

I made a Blog for my compagny wit CMSMS, after a "few" problems I'm really satisfied with the result:
http://www.linkenmiegel.nl/weblog/

Looks nice but's not xhtml valid  ...

I saw it, but I think some of the errors are not easy to solve..

[cyberman]

Most of them comes from & (must be &), then alt attribute for some images are missed and some not closed tags ( instead ,
instead ).

Only embed tag is a real problem ...

It makes me think of www.geenstijl.nl a bit. I like it though. So how did you accomplish it in CMSMS? Did you use the news module, did you try out the blogs made simple module in he svn? http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsvn/?root=blogms or did you find out yet another way? Would love to hear more about it.

Greetz,

I know the typography looks pretty much like geenstijl.nl but it's the typography I use in my corporaty identity (Cooper). I used the standard news module in combination with the comments module and the TruetypeText module. The design is just CSS and adjusting the summery and detail template from the newsmodule. No coding at all...

edit: I used the RSS-module also for the headlines..

Well, you did a great job! I'm still a bit in my CMSMS learning curve here, was also interested in how you got those newsfeeds to display like that. But most importantly: can you control the size of the input fields as well with the css? If so how?

Best wishes,

When you look in the source code, you see something like this for the comments module:

Code: Select all

<form id="m2moduleform_1" name="m2moduleform_1" method="post" action="index.php"><div class="hidden"><input type="hidden" name="mact" value="Comments,m2,default,0" /><input type="hidden" name="m2returnid" value="15" /><input type="hidden" name="m2redirecturl" value="http://www.linkenmiegel.nl/weblog/index.php/news/43/15/" /><input type="hidden" name="m2pageid" value="43" /><input type="hidden" name="m2modulename" value="News" /><input type="hidden" name="m2emailfield" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="m2websitefield" value="0" /></div>

You can use the id's to style the fields with CSS, like this:

Code: Select all

.m2 {
	border:1px solid #EBEBEB;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	height:80px;
	width: 375px;
}

#m2author {
	border:1px solid #EBEBEB;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	width: 375px;
}

#m2email {
	border:1px solid #EBEBEB;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	width: 375px;
}
