Joe Eckard commented on OFBIZ-241: ---------------------------------- I've just attached a file containing an up-to-date list of the IDs and classes used in the ofbiz ftl files. In the past I've used this list to help clean up / reorganize the ofbiz manager application templates - hopefully this will be helpful for someone working on this issue. The series of commands that generates this list is: find . -name "*.ftl" | xargs perl -ne "if (/ (id|class)=['\"]*([0-9A-Za-z-_]+)['\"]*/) {print ((\$1 eq \"id\") ? '#' : '.');print \"\$2\n\";}" | sort | uniq -c Unfortunately this will miss the ones defined in widgets and those that have bits of freemarker (for example, class="${class}", class="<#if ..."), but it should catch most of them. > CSS Layout and Other Cleanups in the Manager Applications > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-241 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-241 > Project: Apache OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: accounting, content, humanres, manufacturing, marketing, > order, party, product, workeffort > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Reporter: Marco Risaliti > Attachments: style-info.txt > > > Copy of http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-202 from David Jones > ======================================================= > The purpose of this task is to improve the current CSS based layout, and > separate it from the ecommerce application so they do not interfere with > eachother. There are some issues with the layout, and lots of room for > improvement including in some cases chaging table-based layouts to CSS based, > and making styles and HTML structure cleaner and more flexible. This is not > meant to be nearly as aggessive an effort as in ecommerce, and is meant more > for general improvements and not to facilitate extremely flexible > customization and such as is the case in ecommerce. > I would like to propose the removal of all redundant style info... for > example, nearly all <div class="tabletext"> wrappers can be removed, the > exception being where they are used like <p>s - the default text style can be > set on body; all "inputBox", "selectBox", "smallSubmit" styles can be removed > - can style input elements globally; remove embedded style="margin: 0" on > forms, style forms globally; change <div class="head1|head2|head3"> to > <h1|h2|h3>, etc. (Just the ones off the top of my head, I'm sure there are > more.) > I would be happy to help with this, but due to the large number of files > affected, it will probably need to be coordinated with any other css work. > I agree with this approach Joe. It is much more flexible and will reduce the > HTML size a fair bit, and with proper labelling of different areas it can be > very flexible too. This is what I've done with the ofbiz.org home page. > You're right about this requiring a lot of changes in lots of different > files. I'm not sure what the best way to manage this is, but to get it > started it is probably best to choose 2-3 "proof of concept" pages and get > those cleaned up, and then solicit help with others based on those. > Of course, chances are no one except the core group will help anyway, but I > always find it entertaining to try... > I would be willing to help as well, if you like. I have converted my > ecommerce site already to css (www.heatwithsolar.com). Since my goal is to > use OFBiz on my site, I have a strong desire to retain CSS level 1 > capability. I have no real need to go to a higher standard of CSS yet until > it is supported by more browsers. > As soon as I get an SVN up and running well, I'll likely start working on > this anyways. Just let me know.
