Convert template to 68C

  1. michael Just get on with it!

    I've almost finished work on a Joomla driven community site and would like the same look for my 68C site.
    If anyone can convert this to 68C I'd be happy to pay a fair fee. (You can see an example of the template in action at Welcome to undubbed)

    Do you mean the layout? And then pick out some of the things like the h1,h2 header tags etc?

    Hi David,

    Yes, specifically the full width blue header/navigation section. I've had a decent crack at reproducing that with a simple table and background image (attached) but what I'd really like is the nice navigation links. They are attached to the nav css file (attached as a text file).

    I'd like to use this simple table to head my 68C site as a replacement for the default bars and buttons.

    Can you help?

    I sent you a PM about it.

    Right. I've had a good go at this and I've got pretty much everything sorted except the nice 'rollover' navigation.

    The community site I'm building is at mkmoo.com. See how nice those four navigation buttons are? I've reproduced the layout as a table and pasted it to the top of my layout.tpl as I experiment with it - see it at MKClassifieds.

    Clunky isn't it? The buttons sit on the bottom of the cell and the shape just doesn't look as good. Because my technical knowledge is very limited I created my own image (attached) which I think is very poor, and used the following freely available CSS;

    Code:
    /************************************************
     Round Corners Button Rollover Example 2
    ************************************************/
    .example2 li {
        display:inline;
        list-style:none;
    }
    .example2 li a {
        background:transparent url(images/buttons.jpg) no-repeat top left;
        display:block;
        float:left;
        height:22px;
        margin-right:15px;
    }
    .example2 li a span {
        background:transparent url(images/buttons.jpg) no-repeat right top;
        display:inline;
        float:left;
        height:18px;
        padding:4px 10px 0 0;
        margin-left:10px;
        cursor:pointer;
    }
    .example2 li a:hover {
        background-position:0px bottom; color:#fff;
    }
    .example2 li a:hover span {
        background-position:right bottom;
    }
    So all I need is to get those buttons looking as smart as at mkmoo.com. Perhaps the original jamba images and css files are the way to go but I just don't know how to use them

    Can anyone help me move on from here? I'm still willing to pay if this is not too small a job for anyone.
