Templates for EE

[Oceanwatcher]

First of all, I must say I like some of the bundled templates for EE well. But there are still things I would like different.

My main problem now is the caption for each picture. It is streched too wide because it resize with the browser window. I wish I could find a template that has a margin on both sides that takes the text in 20 percent on each side. That would look better for the presentation.

Is there a repository for templates anywhere? Or could people upload here in the forum?

Template editing needs only skills in html coding. The page is basically laid out using tables. If you change in pagetemplates/photo/default.php line 167 to

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="70%"><tr>

you get narrowed description. Description can also be tied with photo width by putting it into same table as photo (but personally I would like to keep pages elements from jumping around with every photo), like this:

Edit line 92 to

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="1"><tr>

Add under </div> at line 113:

<?php
if ($description_text_html != "") {
print "<table border=\"0\"><tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td><p>";
print $description_text_html;
print "<br></p></td><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td></tr></table>";
}
?>

and then remove lines 167-190:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr>

<?php
print $filler_td_html;
?>

<td width="100%">

<?php
if ($description_text_html != "") print "<p><br>";
print $description_text_html;
if ($description_text_html != "") print "<br><br></p>";
?>

</td>

<?php
print $filler_td_html;
?>

</tr>


</table>


The forum accepts attachments in zip format, so feel free to upload templates here.

you can also put html directly in the description box (which is what I do) wrapping the text in a table.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed. Now it looks better. Thanks, Pekka. Only decent Finnish word I learnt was terve (I think). But that does not mean thank you... I know a couple of not so nice ones, but I'll keep that out of the forum. :lol:
