  • CoffeeDaze - Versatility III

    Posted 17 years 4 months ago
    • Website URL: www.coffeedaze.com

      Additional Extensions: There's a long list, but off the top of my head I have SMF w/bridge, AJAX shoutbox, Joomblog, PU Arcade, JCal Pro, a couple trackers (SMF and Joomblog), and AkoComment running.

      Custom Development: Apart from some basic graphic changes (logo, buttons, added images) I really haven't done too much. I changed my SMF theme to slightly match VIII.

      Other Features: Well obviously by my list of components we are a community site with the basics of forums, blogs, gallery, e-mail, with some added features for fun.

      Additional Comments: Thanks to RocketTheme for creating the best Joomla themes hands down! And thanks to the community over at CoffeeDaze.com who has been very supportive of the changes to the look of the place.

    • Thanks. Of course most of the credit goes to RocketTheme for creating the easy to work with and visually stunning theme as the base. I haven't been a big fan of the last couple themes, but Versatility III was a great success for us.

    • I like it - it is clean, has content and looks inviting like a nice Sunday morning cup of coffee, but I will say two things.

      The logo lacks the pizazz of the rest of the graphics - (I am compelled to design one, cause I like the site, and send it to you, but I don't won't to offend you) and 2nd - see the graphic logo you have for your avatar? It looks good - seems you need more Coffee Graphics in your site cause they look good (also in the articles too - you know pictures with a bean logo to match the article or a large coffee graphic to spice it up...)

      Your site looks inviting - nothing wrong with making it even more inviting.

      Just a thought - take it or leave it...

    • I haven't ported over our logo to the new theme yet. We have a logo we have been using for quite a while. Thanks for the offer though. I have been working on adding some more coffee related graphics as well as time allows. I recently added the coffee cup RSS link below the shoutbox and have a few more in the works. Thanks for the comments because inviting was what we were aiming for.

    • I agree with the suggestion of more graphics, but the other thing that immediately struck me was the need for a bit more space between your two columns on the page. they feel like theya re running into each other to me. Just a tad bit more padding would do the trick...

      Looks great, though!

    • The padding sounds like an interesting idea. I am a beginner with PHP though so I'm not sure which instance of padding I should change in the index or CSS sheet.

    • Take a look at this part of your template_css.css (line 36):
      body, td, th, tr{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana,sans-serif;
}

      Change it to something like this:
      body, td, th, tr{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana,sans-serif;
padding: 0 5px;
}

      OR
      body, td, th, tr{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana,sans-serif;
padding-left: 10px;
}

      Of course, you will want to play with this until you get exactly what you want. :D

    • Line 33-47 of my template_css.css file read:
      body {
     font-size: 13px;
}
 
body.f-smaller {
     font-size: 10px;
}
 
body.f-default {
     font-size: 12px;
}
 
body.f-larger {
     font-size: 15px;
}

      I added the padding to line 35 and it added a space on the right and left of the page, but nothing between the main body and the right and left sections. Not sure if I am doing this right.
