Basic Theme
Features
- reset css: ensures the styling is consequent amongst all browsers
- uses separate css files for different rendering situations: reset, base, print, handheld, ..., and the regular style.css which is similar to the one used in all other themes
- concatenation and minification ability for the css, js and json files:
- This is disabled by default, and will need to be enabled in the configuration
- The IncludePageMeta has been extended to generate URL's to the concatenated version of all css files using the same media tag (if enabled in config)
- The ConcatenationReader has been created to return concatenated and minified versions of the css and js files
- This is built to use the list of included css files, last modification timestamps, ... for caching purposes.
- In order to enable this for any of the existing themes, the theme sitemap must be altered as well
- javascript loading if jquery is moved to bottom of page for fast loading
- uses new dri2xhtml-alt, and everything which is replaced in the theme, is included using the exact same hierarchy, for a good overview
- the rendering of item display and item lists has been completely redesigned
- the browser is no longer determined using the sitemap, but is determined in the page-structure.xsl: this is supposed to be more reliable
