Question *NEW* Community Builder Template

Well, somebody slammed it in my face recently because there were "errors" on my site. No, those are not errors if you're doing HTML. If WC3 is being used to insult people who work hard on their sites, then that's wrong. We're learning. I got thrown in the deep end with PHP, CSS, etc a year ago and I'm making progress.

In the past two weeks I have come to appreciate Div's a whole lot more than I did. But when a Div goes flying off the page and won't behave itself, then I use tables.

hjames,

accordions are kinda cool, but not always very useful. When there is a lot content,long listing etc. visitors need to scroll. Or they close/open one after the other. Not really an enrichment. Tabs are more easy and faster I think. They should just look&feel more appealing than the CB tabs. Sliding or transition perhaps.
Just a thought.

I have the same thinking as castrop. Is just only an idea: they're cool, but are tab are: seasier to users, and cleaner for a great design. My opinion.

Great job!!

Hello hjames,

first: Thanks for your great ideas and work!!! I think the open/close is a good idea if you use it only for a few tabs...

I copied your idea (hope this is ok...) and made a new profile page:

and here page 2: I also modified the friends/connections and give them a slimer outfit...

Not bad, looks really good.

What code base did you use for the Open/Close function?

This all looks exciting.

Too bad I (many of us) are still in a stand still as far as putting the kunena with cb integration LIVE. Waiting on CB to come out with next version, and Kunena to go 1.5 native.

Keep up the great template work, its exciting as I said to see new ideas come out of this.

Hello hjames,

for the Javasript function and CSS I used your code... (I hope it's ok that I copied it... If you sell a template later I'll buy it of course... I also bought the plugin... ). And the php-changes (for backend choosing in tab management) are modified by myself...

A other way but similar would be: If you open a second open/close-tab, the first open tab close automaticly... I used this way for my Extend Kunena Editor . If you need the code therefore, you can download it. I used a hidden formular that "safe" which tab are open.

I didn't understand what you meant by "collapsible", but I figured it out finally. It's because I'm not using the Jomsocial default templates so the collapsibles weren't working quite right. I'm going to have to adjust the graphics. The menus do fold up, if you know where to click. In fact, it's rather clever. I can see why you like it. I'm glad you pointed that out...

I think it's very impressive that you were able to duplicate that kind of behavior on the CB template you're working on.

I wasn't able to do much customizing on that menu, I would adjust it but it didn't "take." I'd change it, upload it, and it was all the same as it had been. Is that because of the template generator? Maybe I was just confused. I've tried to do too much on this site in the past month.

It's starting to come together really nice though. I was afraid to get into using Joomla because they said it's hard to learn, but I'm impressed with it because it's so versatile.
