Twist

Available for Tiki 4

As of the Tiki 4 version, Twist is using the *lite.css layout method, so no longer uses a table for the main layout. This was made possible by an addition to *lite.css that enables the main content-containing div to have a fixed width, which works in all browsers.

Available for Tiki 3

In Tiki 3, the Twist theme uses the Look and Feel options pretty much like other themes, and should work more flexibly with site titles and logos, etc. The theme-specific menu folder images work more nicely than before, also.

Site title and Site Identity
Site Identity is turned off for most pages at themes.tw.o. To provide for a site title in the Twist theme here, a few lines were added to templates/styles/twist/header.tpl:

<div id="siteheader">
{if $page eq 'Site Identity demo'}
{include file="tiki-site_header.tpl"}
{else}
<div style="font-size: 28px;
padding-top: 38px;padding-left: 1em;
color:white">Themes.tikiwiki.org</div>
{/if}
</div>

For other Tiki sites, Site Identity should be configured so that the logo and other header items are sized and positioned to match the theme. Since the Site Identity custom code at this site must be used for all themes, Twist has its own tiki-identity_header.tpl file, where margin specs were added to reposition the logo and search form.

Please post questions and comments in the New Themes forum.

Thanks to Gary aka gg for sharing this theme.

Issues

1. If you see a white horizontal menu, then you have not defined a menu with menuId=43. Go to Admin -> Menu and create a new menu.
2. If you want to use a menu other than 43, edit templates/styles/twist/tiki_top_bar.tpl and change the 43 to the appropriate number.

• Horizontal menu item not displayed. This theme is extremely sensitive (strict) about the separators in a menu when displaying the horizontal menu. If you see an item missing (indicated by consecutive vertical bars), check if a separator is immediately before it in the menu. If so, remove the separator. Start at the left side and work towards the right, fixing as needed. Once the menu displays correctly, it will work in any other theme. Other themes are just more tolerant that this theme.
