LiteJazz



A highlight of the LiteJazz theme for Drupal is content display options, so this theme is a natural choice for showcasing TikiWiki's content configuration possibilities.

New in the Tiki 4 version, the red and green color variants are provided as theme options, so it's a simple admin option to change the color. Also, the top and bottom content areas showcased in the original Drupal version is easily provided using the topbar and bottombar custom content areas on the Look and Feel admin page. The LiteJazz colors are applied to these content areas.

The custom code can use Smarty filters to specify what page and what theme (well, this is important at a theme demo site) to use the content with.

The topbar custom code can contain the actual content to be displayed, or dynamic content tags can be used to load content. Or a Smarty include statement can be used to load a template file. This is the method I'm using here, since I want the layout and content to be specific to LiteJazz (the Smarty filter checks for the page 'LiteJazz'. The theme package includes this file. It can contain content directly or, for easier updating, it can contain dynamic content tags which can get their content via the Tiki admin pages. See the dynamic content docs. See LiteJazz_page2 for an "inside" page without the topbar custom content.

A similar method can be used for the footer custom code (not set up yet here).

The original Drupal theme has a single side column and a main content column. The Tiki implementation can replicate that, or the site can have all three columns activated and then the side-column switching turned on so users can widen the main content column as they please. It's also a good idea to turn on the fullscreen view feature, for a very spacious page when viewing content.

This theme is available for download: Tiki 4 version, Tiki 2 version.
