Template Screenshots

Posted on 05-28-2008

If you have been waiting for screenshots they are finally here!  You can view screenshots from every template I have converted to date!  All screenshots are taken from the demo site running the MODx versions of the templates.

Yea, it would likely be smarter to use html and not have the modx overhead, but the ability to say what you see is fully MODx functional is worth more to me than the server overhead.

If you have some free time and can help tag and fix the names for the screenshots please send me an email.  There are a ton of screenshots and I don't have the time to tag them all, edit the titles, replace any missing/bad screenshots, and still convert more templates.

It's a free service what can you say?  Oh, yea the link! http://demo.amdbuilder.net/screenshots/

Templates

Posted on 05-27-2008

Well after several weeks of catching up I finally had some time to convert over a few more templates and do a full 40+ browser screenshot run!  Yes, that's right I have screenshots of all my current template conversions in some 40+ browsers.

The screenshots will likely find themselves in a gallery with the title showing the OS, Browser, and such.  Mainly becuse I would rather work on more templates and i'm semi lazy and don't plan to edit in the browser/os for all the screenshots.  You do the math it's a TON of screenshots!

Sure i'm a long way from all the originally promised templates, but I just crossed off three...

• Andreas 05 v2.5
• Clover Leaf
• Elements

Sure it's not a massive template stock load or anything crazy like that, but it's three more 1/2 way decent choices for use with MODx!  (Oh, if you don't already know this site is powered by MODx)

Summer

Posted on 05-03-2008

I'm happy to announce it's now offically my summer break and over the next few months of freedom I hope to catch up on alot of projects.

I have at least 4 more templates ready to go, but they will likely be delayed for a month or two as I finish a few other projects for clients and redesign the demo site so it's more expandable.

Depending on my free time I hope to convert all of the updated Andreas templates and most if not all of the Free CSS Templates.  There are only 214 or so templates at last count and about 8 updated Andreas templates so I will likely be very busy working on this should time permit.

If you need one a template from one of the two above sites let me know and I will try to fastrack them.

Demo Site

Posted on 04-11-2008

I have just added another template to the demo site.  Leaves 1.0 is the latest addition with several configuration options.

I have also finished the first stage of the demo site rehaul and all template demos now have information regarding the templates source, tested browsers, and link back notes.

Down the road I plan to include screenshots of all templates in the 4 common browsers:

• Firefox 2
• Firefox 3
• Internet Explorer 6
• Internet Explorer 7
• Internet Explorer 8
• Opera
  
• Safari

I may only include a few of the browsers in the first release so I can provide screenshots for every template or I may cover all the screenshots and only a few templates.  I may also use Lightbox v2 for demo purposes only.  Sorry you will need to install that yourself.

In another stage I hope to do a full thumbnail gallery with download links so you don't need to open each template and click the download link to get to the repository.

For those wondering why I don't offer the downloads on my site it's not due to space or bandwidth restrictions.  I like having everything in one location and being tracked.  I also want to ensure MODx users can find my conversion without needing to know to visit my site.

MODx 0.9.7 Support - I will convert all my templates once RC1 has been released.  Also if skingraft is included in the default package I will convert all my templates for use with skingraft at the same time.  If you want to use my conversions for either purpose before then your welcome to make the needed adjustments.  I only ask you add the adjusted version to the MODx repository as an extra to the original template.

I will be removing the template pages from my site in the near future.  All Multiflex 5 add-ons will be moved to the demo site at that point in time.

Multiflex 5

Posted on 04-03-2008

If you havn't already seen the update in the MODx Repository I have converted the latest version of Multiflex 5.4 for use with MODx.  This new release offers increased flexability by now supporting a two level side menu, optional side column (1 and 2 column layouts) and some other code improvements and such.  You can read more about the improvements here: http://www.1234.info/webtemplates/multiflex5/

All add-ons now work with Multiflex 5.4.  If you have a broken add-on please update your code.

Conversion Notes:

If you are upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 please note some of the chunk names have changed to allow for the use of other versions of Multiflex at the same time.

Some of the extras posted on my site may not work as I havn't had the time to update the code.  If you need help shoot me an email.

The TinyMCE fix is also included in the conversion by default now.

As with prior releases the extra media is not included in the zip file.   If you want access to the extra media you will need to download the template from the creators website.

Other News / Template News

In other news I have just finished upgrading this site to Multiflex 5.4.  This site is also running xHTML Strict now instead of Transitional.  Strict make multi browser testing easier and the target="_blank" element is starting to become pointless.

Also later this week 3 more templates will be released on my demo site.  I also hope to expand the demo site a little further over the next few weeks or whatever time I have to include information about the templates, a standard example page, and an extra examples page for templates that have additional styles and such beyond the standard example page.

The standard examples will also be required going forward.  This mean all my conversion will have styles for all examples on the page.  If they don't have the style it will be added or the template might not be converted.

Conversion in Use

If you use one of my template conversions let me know.  Going forward I hope to keep a list of sites using my conversion.  Call it MODx promotion or a reason for me to keep converting templates.  Whatever works for you.  Just use the Contact Me page to let me know.
