Re: Further Customisations - .pm files

1) I am unable to define styles for the input boxes on all the pages. Which boxes? If you give a couple of examples, it's easier to assist. (Btw, I noticed that your modified CSS for the input.button class is not correct.) 2) the buttons on the left. I would prefer to be able to incorporate ringlink more seamlessly, ie get rid of the buttons completely. If you would be able to tell me which variables I could use to generate text/graphics links, that would be much appreciated. There are no such variables. You'd need to modify parts of admin.pl, ring.pm and site.pm. this is a hobby - and sometimes real work/study takes precedence!
for people who aren't completely au fey with cgi etc like me that want to customize the .pm files further, it really is hard. What makes it hard? I mean, to customize mainhtml.pm, admhtml.pm, and mailhtml.pm you need to know some HTML and CSS, and you need a text editor. For those who don't know enough of that, or choose to stick with the original layout, there is a simple customization feature in 'Ring admin - Customize'. You sure don't need to be "au fey with cgi", do you? Perhaps (and only if you feel it necessary) in future versions some kind of template customization built in to admin.pl might be something to think of? If you're not sure what I mean, think the template customizations in weblog software such as moveable type or greymatter. The variables are listed there, it's just a matter of putting your html/css around the variables. Well, I have to say that I don't feel it's necessary. But Ringlink is an open source project, and those who are of a different opinion are welcome to join as Ringlink developers and start working with it. / Gunnar
