Item11740: Create pattern theme for jquery elements

Currently trunk only.

-- ArthurClemens - 09 Apr 2012

You added some files to the MANIFEST, but you forgot to check them in

-- PaulHarvey - 10 Apr 2012

Sorry Arthur, I've reverted so that I could work done on trunk.

• We were missing the .css/pngs which the theme requires
• Created Item11741 to separate out the jsonpreferences zone stuff
• Let's not hijack benign tasks (add a theme) with work that drastically changes the way we do prefs in Foswiki (I assume it was by accident)

Let me know if you want some help

-- PaulHarvey - 10 Apr 2012

Argh what a mess. FOSWIKI.pm changes should not have been committed except for the version number. I totally forgot it had more changes.

Why don't you add the theme to the PatternSkin instead? Themes are pluggable like any other jquery plugin is. Themes can be packaged as a contrib. So ...

-- MichaelDaum - 10 Apr 2012

That is a possibility. But is it better?

-- ArthurClemens - 10 Apr 2012

Add this to PatternSkin's Config.spec:

# ---++ JQueryPlugin
# ---+++ Extra themes

# **STRING**
$Foswiki::cfg{JQueryPlugin}{Themes}{Pattern}{Url} = '%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/jquery-ui.css';

# **BOOLEAN**
$Foswiki::cfg{JQueryPlugin}{Themes}{Pattern}{Enabled} = 1;

That's better because the PatternSkin design will stay in sync with its own jquery ui theme. So when you change something in the design that needs changes to the ui theme as well, you can release both in one chunk instead of having to release a new JQueryPlugin as well. If you decide not to ship PatternSkin with foswiki any more, you won't need the pattern ui theme either, would you?

How can I make this theme selectable? If it is in "Extra themes", it is not in the dropdown at {JQueryTheme}.

Is this ready for 1.1.6? The JQuery commits have been merged to 1.1.6, where does pattern skin stand? Waiting for release?

Hi Arthur/Michael,

We're still missing a few files according the MANIFEST,

WARNING: Cannot find source file for /usr/local/src/github.com/foswiki/PatternSkin/pub/System/PatternSkinTheme/jquery-ui.css
WARNING: Cannot find source file for /usr/local/src/github.com/foswiki/PatternSkin/pub/System/PatternSkinTheme/jquery-ui.css.gz

For release branch this is included in Item12220.
