Mihai007 Pop	Thursday 07 February 2008 12:29:57 pm Hi, I am trying my hand at changing the look and feel of the standard webin interface! I am using that package, so I have gone to the following folder: \Exponential\var\storage\packages\eZ-systems. There I saw the site styles ezwebin_design_blue and ezwebin_design_gray. So I copied the ezwebin_design_blue and rename id to ezwebin_design_red! Now I have changed it to a red background! I went to the admin interface under "design/look and feel" There I saw the new style, so I chose it! And presto - my site changed to a red background because it is using the new site style! My question is as follows: I need to make different section/folders with a slight change, or a complete change in look and feel: girls' section is in pink, guy's section is in blue! Can I assign different site styles for different sections/folders? I searched and could not come up with an answer other than creating a totally new pagelayout...! Which could become messy when it comes to maintenance...! Any thoughts on this? Very much appreciated!!!
André R.	Friday 08 February 2008 1:16:27 am Slight change is possible, but you cant use more then on design package, ezwebin (or the template_look class more specifically) is not multi site cable. If you take a look in the generated html source code of a ezwebin / ezflow site you'll see something like this: <div id="page" class="nosidemenu noextrainfo section_id_1 subtree_level_0_node_id_2 current_node_id_2"> using those classes you can specify css styles for subtrees / nodes / sections of the site. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

Hi,

I am trying my hand at changing the look and feel of the standard webin interface! I am using that package, so I have gone to the following folder: \Exponential\var\storage\packages\eZ-systems.

Now I have changed it to a red background! I went to the admin interface under "design/look and feel"

My question is as follows: I need to make different section/folders with a slight change, or a complete change in look and feel: girls' section is in pink, guy's section is in blue!

Slight change is possible, but you cant use more then on design package, ezwebin (or the template_look class more specifically) is not multi site cable.

If you take a look in the generated html source code of a ezwebin / ezflow site you'll see something like this:

<div id="page" class="nosidemenu noextrainfo section_id_1 subtree_level_0_node_id_2 current_node_id_2">

using those classes you can specify css styles for subtrees / nodes / sections of the site.
