[geeklog-devel] Non table layout (was Geeklog 1.9.0 or Geeklog 2.0.0?)

[Tom]

Hey Tani,

I think we are all in agreement with you, the head element and the footer
(where we place JavaScript) needs to be pretty much the last thing decided
before Geeklog displays something. Reworking this properly most likely would
require changes that would not make Geeklog backwards compatible with most
plugins.

The thing is this we plan on releasing Geeklog 2.0 soon and we do not want
to push the release back for these changes (it already has been pushed back
a number of months now :-)

We also hope to update the template engine so there may be other changes
required as well for plugins. Once Geeklog 2.0.0 is released I hope to see a
discussion happen on what the best way is to solve these problems so we can
work these changes into the next version of Geeklog.

Tom

Hi all.

 I consider that the essence of this problem is that the element
(ex.right_block) needed for a whole layout is not decided, before making a
HEAD element in COM_siteHeader().

 If the element needed for a whole layout at the time of execution of
COM_siteHeader() is decided, I think that we can switch style.css or etc.,
if needed.

 Supposing this problem is solved, I believe that use of a much more dynamic
and flexible layout is enabled in Geeklog.
It's is not limited to CSS layaut, in case Table layout too.


 My question is, why not change those functions forever? B)


 I think it is difficulte to keeping back-compatibility, but it's necessary
to get Geeklog's bright future. :)

But I don't have good idea, maybe someone have good idea.
