Where is the official JOOMLA (not MAMBO) CSS properties list??

Post by sgallagher » Sat Dec 10, 2005 1:47 pm

strangely enough, there is no *OFFICIAL* CSS prperties sheet anywhere specifically for JOOMLA... at least no where I can find.
I have been dealing with all kids of weirdness in the css class, and psuedo-class areas.
If anyone has an official CSS of ALL accesible class/psuedo class properties, naming conventions, etc... I'd be thrilled to see it.

It'd be nice to know all the things we could access as DESIGNERS and not WebMasters.
It could make a big difference in layout and design for me to know FOR SURE what does what.
I always find these throwbacks to Mambo CSS and Never to Joomla specifics.
I know Joomla comes From MAMBo.... but seriously

nice. that is exactly what I am looking for... BUT it is still titled as a Mambo Doc??
If we are all on Joomla shouldn't this stuff be called "Joomla CSS  definitions" or something??

That was the undertone of my post.

All that aside, that is one comprehensive list and is hopefully to be pinned up in here somewhere.
thanks.

Rebranding... that's funny...

Post by sgallagher » Sat Dec 10, 2005 9:08 pm

Well I plan on taking that post and titling it up as a Joomla CSS definitions doc.
...and then posting it.
I have seen tons of variants of people talking about Mambo Rhuk Solarflare II as example, but it rarely goes in depth to the actual structural naming of the class and psuedo class as it relates to how Joomla PUBLISHES sections, categories, blogs, modules, components, etc.
There seems to be all this focus on a individuals actual template Table or DIV ID and Class... which is also a nightmare to look at sometimes.
it's like reverse engineering horrible HTML design and planning.

Straight up: that churchministriesonline.com or whatever had a pretty no bullshit approach.

Your post is the first really long Doc on the matter that I have seen that actually got into the variety of psuedo-class...

I honestly think that the mbt_macro_blue is the template that covers most of the CSS classes

A template might not include all the css definitions allowed in Joomla. So this is not the absolute guide.
