2008-06-03T03:42:20Z FluxBB http://devkick.com/talk/topic/18/recommended-change-to-tripoli-class-convention/ Although I'm not totally convinced yet, probably the way to go it's the one suggested by rhache on the first post: to search and replace. Maybe, this "issue" can be stated on the Tripoli website and on a readme file on the downloaded package. Like: "If you are currently using a class with the name 'content' and don't want Tripoli styles to mess with them, just do a search and replace '.content' with whatever class name you want" Some advantages of keeping the class name as "content": it keeps "backward compatibility" with previous Tripoli releases (ok, Tripoli is still in beta, and not too widespread to worry about breaking backward compatibility). It's more "educative" a class "content" than a class "tripoli", and it certainly look less intrusive (but the same argument can be used for a class name like "tripoli", so this may not be a real "advantage"). It's more semantic than "tripoli" (or whatever). Ok: "tripoli-content" seems to much. "tripoli" isn't that semantic. "tpl-content" is short, but cryptic... maniqui 2008-06-03T03:42:20Z http://devkick.com/talk/post/165/#p165 I second the motion. Riley 2008-06-02T21:56:44Z http://devkick.com/talk/post/161/#p161 Maniqui/David, I'd have to say almost all of them (CMS's that use the content class). I tend to use Drupal more than others -- which is easy enough for me to configure, but not necessarily for newbies. I'm not claiming that it's "collapsing" or breaking a CMS -- that's too strong of a word -- but most CMS come with their own stylesheets, and most use a div with a content class (and often in multiple places). Maybe using a class called "type-tripoli" might be better (or something like that). That indicates the basic function (nice typography defaults) and [b]where[/b] the changes are coming from. There is another advantage to having "tripoli" as part of the class name: it's even more obvious when using a tool like Firebug to know what tripoli is affecting and how at a glance. "Content" as a class name is very generic, and separating what your stylesheet and tripoli's do would be an added bonus. For those that want Tripoli to affect the "content" class/div, you could simply change your div to something like <div class="content type-tripoli">. As a final point, I want to make it clear that it's no biggie. However, it does make more sense from a development point of view for a CMS, [b]which opens the door to Tripoli being even more popular[/b]. If I have to change it manually I will, but I'm an advanced user. Thanks, Rene rhache 2008-05-16T21:12:05Z http://devkick.com/talk/post/46/#p46 Although I can understand rhache's point, I don't totally agree. Having semantic class name is better than visual class name. "Tripoli" doesn't fit in neither those two groups. Also, I prefer having an agnostic CSS "framework". If tomorrow I switch from Tripoli (not saying I would ;), I'm enjoying this), I will have to go through my templates/CMS/whatever and remove the "tripoli" class. I go fo "content", as it is right now. Which are the CMSs that are collapsing with this convention? maniqui 2008-05-16T17:25:27Z http://devkick.com/talk/post/44/#p44 Hi rhache! I really see your point here. I just never thought about it like that, but when you put it that way it actually makes sense. Thank you for your input, I will definitely considerit for the final release. David 2008-05-16T17:14:41Z http://devkick.com/talk/post/43/#p43 To whom it may concern, I really like Tripoli, but I would make one substitution: change the "content" class name to something else. The reason I think this would be useful is because content management systems often use that class, which means that Tripoli will sometimes affects/interferes the built-in CMS stylesheets. My recommendation would be to use a "tripoli" class that one could discreetly add where appropriate. I know that it's easy for me to do a search and replace to the stylesheets provided, but it would be one less step for most CMS users.
