Reply with quote

I'd like to request an addition to the admin area functions pagehead() and pagefoot()

In pagehead() add this just below <body> above <div class="header">
Code:
<div id="adminwrapper">


In pagefoot() add this just above </body>
Code:
         <!-- content / quickmenu container -->
         <div class="clear"></div>    <!-- new -->
         </div>

         <!-- adminwrapper -->    <!-- new -->
         </div>     <!-- new -->
         </body>



The reason is obvious: greater controll of the admin area trough CSS tweaking.
By adding this, we can still allow those who want a "fluid" page to keep that intact, but we can also allow those who want to style their admin area to a more fixed width, greater controll over the layout.

By adding these lines, I've managed to style the admin area to resemble the front-page of my site, thus making the end-user feel more "at home" when doing administrative actions. And it's XHTML 1.0 Strict valid.

Just a thought Smile



Edit: Here's a peak at what can be accomplished with the aditions above

Seems like an easy and innocuous addition. I'll put it on my list.

Also, I think it may be useful to have a configuration setting that sets the name of the css file being used. So during an upgrade, custom changes to the css file aren't lost. Maybe I should see how the japanese plugins (resetAdmin, etc... function first).
