different template for every page? Is this possible? Music based template for view sounds, Video based template for view video, etc?

The answer is no. However, you can use Deano's Head Injection that will allow you to override the CSS for each page. Another thing you can do is to create new design boxes to use for a particular page; each design box comes with its own CSS. Then you assign those design boxes to the page and they will look different from the other pages. I did that with a module to create a new look for a particular page the module created.

That's a great idea! It will keep people interested. So with Deano's Head Injection, I can basically change the layout of the view video page sort of like how the old myspace let's people customize their profiles? I used to love the old myspace. Are there any mods that will allow people to customize their profiles just like the old myspace? I saw one but I don't know if it is the right thing. |
If its just the background change you want look here for one option. Vunderba..... Challenge Yourself to be the Best...... Hosting from Zarconia.net |
Keep in mind that video backgrounds can reduce the speed of the site since it may consume a lot of resources on a client's computer. I don't recommend video backgrounds; at least not on any page except perhaps the home page, because the constant movement is annoying. Just because it looks "cool" does not mean it is a good idea. As I said, maybe on the home page. Geeks, making the world a better place |
Now, the head injection tool will allow you to override CSS settings, be sure to use the !important. Of course the page will still use the columns that are set in the page builders. However, you can have a different background, different box borders and colours, etc. As for allowing one to customise their profile, you have the built-in profile customiser which is a great tool for allowing a lot of changes. However, you do have to add settings to it to allow more changes. The profile customiser will allow the member to change the box borders, box backgrounds, fonts, page background, box backgrounds etc. Any element on the page can be added to the profile customiser. I tried explaining this to someone else. It is not easy to share setting up the profile customiser. What I did was to look at how it was done for the included ones, then check the code to see what I needed to add. For example, box backgrounds: * Name: boxbackground That is all that is needed, the profile customiser module does the rest. The other thing I did was to add the Profile Composer module. That module allows one to move the boxes around on the page, from one column to the next. It allows a member to add blocks to the page as well, HTML, TEXT, and RSS. The only thing is that a member can add javascript to the HTML block, so you might want to keep an eye on what they are adding. You can set it where the HTML blocks have to be approved, but that can be tedious work. Geeks, making the world a better place |
