Layouting help

Hi Thomas,

Just thought I'd flick you an image of what I'm working on so see attached.

At the moment I'm including a css file within my layout eg I now have a tableflat.php, a tableFlat.xml and a tableFlat.css . Do you have any better suggestions as to how this could be done? I guess theoretically given that the css is relatively minimal I could do it inline? But you're the developer so I thought I'd ask you

Anyway this is becoming quite fun!

Cheers
Rowan

PS I might also try to work on some module layouts for the latest sermons module when I get the time.

You forgot the attachement

I wouldn't use inline CSS. I would put the CSS file into a subdirectory of the /media folder and load it in your layout using For example you could put it into /media/sermonspeakerlayout/css/tableFlat.css and load it using
This has several advantages: First your file will be cached by the browser and only loaded once, reducing the bandwith needed to load your page.
Second it allows to override the file in a template if someone else wants to use your layout.

Have a look how I do it with the example layouts. The manifest puts the file into the media folder here: github.com/Bakual/SermonSpeaker/blob/mas...lumns-layout.xml#L25
And it's loaded in the layout here: github.com/Bakual/SermonSpeaker/blob/mas...tmpl/columns.php#L15

Yeah the attachment thing went a bit haywire, something stupid I did on my end!

Thanks for the tips re the stylesheet, I'll give that a whirl.

Cheers

Looks nice indeed!
