• CSS for rslight improvements

    From Retro Guy@retroguy@novabbs.com to rocksolid.nodes.help on Sun Oct 27 15:30:32 2024
    From Newsgroup: rocksolid.nodes.help

    Thanks to Byrl Raze Buckbriar's very helpful notes, I've been working
    on just a few files right now to improve and/or properly use CSS.

    I have addressed head.inc, header.php, grouplist.php and tail.inc. I've
    crated quite a few new classes, and need to step back a day or so and
    consider my class naming practices (do they make sense)? Also, try to
    start to format style.css to make it easier to find things.

    I started by just adding to newsportal's css, as I didn't have the
    intention to build an almost entirely new project from it. My plan was
    to just get newsportal working in php7.0, but I just kept going, and
    here we are with rslight.

    All these changes are currently in a branch that I have not pushed. It's
    just local to me atm.

    Anyway, just noting what's happening. I will start addressing some more
    files soon, and keep the classes coming.

    I've just pushed the 'html' branch to gitlab just in case anyone wants to
    see what I'm doing. If you do take a look, DO NOT learn from me, lol!

    I've just pushed the 'html' branch to gitlab just in case anyone wants

    Now running the test site with DOCTYPE html, which is working well. This
    helps me continue debugging html/css.

    www.rocksolidbbs.com is running the 'html' branch, but does not include
    the DOCTYPE header yet. I need to address every page to make sure the
    display is correct, but getting there reasonably well.

    I will be unavailable later today until I don't know when as I have
    surgery this afternoon. If I never come back again, well, you'll know
    why, but I expect to be back.

    Don't go slacking off into the next realm just yet. Dozens of ranters, rave= rs, and rollers both holy and unholy are depending on you. Belay that Jesus=
    meeting a long while yet.

    Sending prayer for your swift recovery!

    Lol, the idea that I might miss the ranters is what keeps me going :)

    Thanks for the wishes, I'm back. I did have a good sleep (anesthesia)

    Working on more css today as long as I stay awake :)

    The 'html' branch is now live on all my sites. Seems to be doing well.

    All pages are capable of a DOCTYPE html header. I'm sure there are some
    minor pages that don't display properly, but it's hard to test every
    single possible notice that can be displayed.

    I plan to merge into 'master' later today. This will include the link to
    latest article discussed in another thread here.

    Note: CSS improvements are by no means complete. I just wanted to first
    get the site to render properly with a DOCTYPE, remove some things from
    html and move to css, add some new classes, and get going with it. There
    will be more changes and classes added as time goes on, but this is a
    start.
