![]() ![]() (Just trying to wrap my mind around all this new and different stuff!) Joomla puts stuff on the page using what they call "module positions," which are defined in the XML file for the template, and described in the usual way in the CSS with IDs and classes - I'm not sure, since I *just* started looking at Umbraco, but would that be somewhat analogous to putting in the various bits that Umbraco wants in order to display dynamic content? - basically just substituting the Umbraco-bits for the Joomla mod-position-bits? Artisteer mobile templates download#I re-read everything posted above, and had a question, to Paul Sterling you said that many wordpress templates had been adapted to umbraco - how about Joomla? I've created about 15-16 nice Joomla templates (starting them with Artisteer to get all the php code, but highly customized HTML, CSS, and better-optimized graphics, to make them really original and more usable) I'd love to be able to convert these to Umbraco and provide them for download alongside my Joomla templates at my main template site. One thing that I notice though, that's really weird, is that in the media directory, there's like 20 diff numbered directories, each with one graphic and a thumb of it - that is just bizarre! Are all Umbraco templates like that, and if so, why? That surely makes it difficult to find all the graphics in order to re-color them - I'm using Firefox's Firebug and opera's "inspect element" to locate 'em all. What I'm doing at the moment is taking the template I found called "VectorLover" and completely re-coloring it to suit my site - I really hate light backgrounds, but I'm using VectorLover as the starting point rather than Jungleland, since it's highly graphic (backgrounds) which lets me recolor it a bit more easily. That program came a LONG way during the year I was subscribed, but in the last few months I wasn't really seeing much being added or improved, so I didn't renew. You're right, it would be awesome if Artisteer added Umbraco-export functionality - I might even re-up my subscription to them if they did, so I could get more new releases than just bug-fixes. That sounds like a winner as far as creating a basic HTML/CSS template, and just sprucing it up to fit into Umbraco. Really weird, especially given that if you just upload one of their asp.net templates "as-is" to a server, they display just fine - but VisStudio or Expression Web just kinda goes "huh?" Artisteer mobile templates how to#Judging from their forum, others have the same problems with their asp.net templates - not knowing exactly what to do with them or how to use them, since, when you load 'em into VisStudio, you get all this "error" stuff. I know what you other guys mean about the weird user-controls that Artisteer puts in their asp.net templates - that's the whole problem with them, otherwise I'd just load one of those asp.net templates into Visual Studio and off I'd go - but not even Visual Studio can interpret them correctly, so that must mean that they aren't really terribly "spec". Not sure where that idea came from at all - jump to conclusions much, sun? -P Thanks for all the replies, you all - though I'm not sure where someone got the idea that I don't know HTML, since I never said such a thing - in fact HTML is the only part of all this in which I'm truly expert (well, CSS too, and graphics creation/manipulation - just no C# !!). However the Artisteer structure had some issues with 3rd party controls I was using at that site, and in the end I actually let a designer do a complete new design. The conversion was not too hard, and I finished my new site design. You can find a lot of help with this procedures in Umbraco help/tv and community sites. (Also create child templates if it suits your site). Use the regular Html-export to get the files Page.html, script.js, style.css,, and folder Images with images.Ĭopy the files to appropriate Umbraco-paths, and search-and-replace references to the paths (in both css and html)Ĭopy the html from Page.html to a Template and go through it piece by piece to fill it with dynamic content. I used Artisteer for an Umbraco-site a while ago. what I did was briefly what one always need when one converts a generic html-template to Umbraco: ![]() Perhaps they will include that feature if enough people request it. It would be nice to have an Umbraco Export in Artisteer. It includes quite some usercontrols which need some tweaking to run within umbraco as one would like. The Artisteer C# export-structure is quite hard to fit into Umbraco site I'm sorry to say. ![]()
