Hi All,
I'd like to propose a simple patch to the system allowing the template
developers to add a 'style' option to let the user select an alternative style
within the same template.
Thanks to the great mechanism for templates already in place, the
implementation is trivial.
As you know, a template is mainly composed of two parts: a main.php file that
drives the creation of the page, and a style.ini file that sets the colors and
selects the css files to use.
The idea is that the template developer could provide the template with various
alternative style.ini files called style_whatever1.ini, style_whatever2.ini
etc. When the 'style' option is set for the template, dokuwiki will search for
the corresponding style_selectedStyleName.ini and use that specific file or
revert to the default style.ini if that is not found.
I think this would makes it much easier for the template developer to maintain
the code. We could also avoid duplicate templates: "arctic" and "arctic_dark"
("Modified version of the Arctic DokuWiki template with dark colours") could be
the same template with two styles.
If you're interested, you can have a look to my patch
