Skin development

Are there any documents/guides etc available on the subject of developing skins for CCP7?

Re: Skin development

Thanks for the reply!

I guess what I'm after here (for CCP7) is something along the lines of what you see on some joomla template examples, where they have an outline of where a specific "area" would be on the page - like the header, sidebar, menu and user_x panels that joomla has (just as as example).

I guess nothing like that currently exists?

Are there any demo's of restyled CCP7 skins out there?
Cheers,
Rob

It really doesn't matter if a site is V6 or V7, the look may be changed completely regardless of the version.

We're working on a large custom job that, when completed, will not be recognizable as CCP.  Virtually anything is possible with CCP.

Re: Skin development

Hi,
Thanks for the replies again.
If it doesn't matter if a site is v6 or v7 as far as the skinning capabilities go, can I take it that the structure of the html output by the system has not changed between versions?

I notice that the templates (that I've looked at) are table based layouts, although I have read posts on the forum here about table-less layouts, or at least elements of the layout being table-less.
Is it possible to get rid of tables from the structural layout of the site entirely (using them purely for tabular data where needed)?

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Skin development

You may do as you please with things Rob.  The basic structure didn't really change between 6 and 7 though styling element names did.

There's really no reason to remove the use of tables but you're welcome to if you want to.
