Notes on how to customize coreblog

April 11, 2004

Here’s notes I’ve been writing while trying to figure out how to customize the look of lostlog.

There’s a very brief description here but it’s far from sufficient for what I want to do.

  • I’ve created a custom skin as described above named “TrondSkin”. Problem: When attempting to change content of lossius/lostblog/skins/TrondSkin/style_css nothing happens. Instead I had to change lossius/lostblog/style_css to get visible results. This pussles me and I’ve been writing a mail to the CoreBlog mailing list askin if I’m missing out on something obvious.
  • In order to change content and layout of the sidebar: change modules/index_html to change what is to be displayed change content of each of the mudole dtml files in /modules/ to alter layout. This also pussles me a bit.

Yesterday I spent most of the time making a scetch for what I want lostlog to look like in the future. Here’s a scetch as plain html.
