Thoughts about a new layout in phpMyFAQ 2.7

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

The last couple of months I thought about a new layout for phpMyFAQ. After Anatoliy’s work on the user-specific templates I decided to re-work the whole design of phpMyFAQ. We will re-work the whole layout, the XHTML and the CSS so that easier and more flexible layouts are possible. We will use a CSS framework for that, too. Together with the final release of phpMyFAQ 2.7 we will also provide more designs for 2.0 and 2.5/2.6 based layouts.

Tag 35: The Rocks

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Heute waren wir im ältesten Viertel von Sydney, The Rocks, australische Spezialitäten essen: eine Kangaroo-Pizza, eine Emu-Pizza und eine Salzwasser-Krokodil-Pizza. Letzteres schmeckt nicht sehr lecker nach Fisch und Huhn, die anderen beiden sind aber lecker. Danach waren wir noch in einem anderen Club, dort gabs tatsächlich Franziskaner-Weißbier. Sehr lecker, aber auch sehr teuer.

phpMyFAQ to run whole web sites – webchills

Monday, January 19th, 2004

Even if you know the structure of the phpMyFAQ and the way templates are added or modified, it’s always faszinating to see other people to use this flexibility. One example is J?rg Sch?nberger’s web site “webchills.at“, which is 100% phpMyFAQ and (more important) a lovely sense of taste.

Musicfaqs.net (second line reads: Music Instruments and Bands Questions and Answers : drums, guitar, piano, beatles, nirvana, all here!) is a rather new project. Nethertheless it’s worth mentioning it. This theme is not too complex but its quite enjoyable for the average human eye.

Preserving excellent work on templates

Thursday, January 15th, 2004

For quite a long time there was a beautiful phpMyFAQ installation on http://www.heilmile.de/faq. This work is now gone since the author has switched the whole site.

Anyway, this is just an example for a problem I never really realised until now: Isn’t there any chance to recycle templates?
