Flux CMS DevBlog

Via Svizzer Blog, I learned that Technorati recommends a rel="bookmark" attribute for the permalinks. So I added that to the blog plugin for hopefully better indexing (maybe not only by Technorati).

Complete explanation.

The latest FCKEditor (used for the blog editor) has some problems with Firefox 1.0.x (and Mozilla 1.7). We couldn't track down the problem until now and the FCKEditor website has not released a new version until now. We try to solve the problem as soon as possible, but in the meantime, we recommend to update to Firefox 1.5, which doesn't have the problem.

... in the header, for example like on http://chregu.freeflux.net/

Open master.xsl and search for <div id="banner">, and replace it with

<div id ="banner" >
 <xsl:variable name="rand">
   <xsl:value-of select="php:functionString('bx_helpers_int::getRand', '1','14')"/>
 </xsl:variable>
 <xsl:attribute name="style">background-image: url('/files/header_small/pic<xsl:value-of select="$rand"/>.jpg')</xsl:attribute>

In the example above, you'd now have to upload 14 different pictures into /files/header_small/ with the names pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, pic3.jpg, etc. Adjust the code accordingly :)

Now, a different (randomly selected) background image should appear for the banner-div. You can of course use the same technique for any other element.

Adrian Nussbaum from xpure made his xBlog theme available for all Flux CMS users. You can see, what it more or less looks like on his blog.

Just log into your admin, go to "General Options" and then click "Download more themes" and there you can choose it, besides all other available themes.

We also updated the themes, so that they work nicely with Flux CMS 1.5. It was mainly about adding some new CSS classes.

Thanks to Adrian and if you want to contribute your theme, just get in contact with us.
