No 3-column structure

Post by calande »

I think we could use a different layout structure maybe. I'm having problems when images are too wide. They overlap the right border. I'm aware I could resize the images, but there will always be small screens (800x600) on which images will still be too wide. For instance here: http://osresources.com/3_15_en.html I have the problem when I don't maximize my browser, it overlaps the right column. Maybe we could display the right column only on the homepage to solve this problem?

Also I suggest putting the latest entries above the news on the home page. And in the right column, I would put only the top 10. Just my 0.002 cents :wink:

Hi,

you're right, but what would be a better layout positioning?

Hi Thorsten :)
As I said, for the home page, I would take the latest entries and put them above the "News" section, the right column would only have the top ten entries. Then, for pages other than the home page, I would use a two-column layout (left column + content).

Another option, would be having a two-column layout for the home page also: take both latest and top-ten entries from the right column and put them above the news. Then remove the right column.

What do you think?

Just a suggestion :wink:

Hi,

not a bad idea.... but what about the tagcloud and the entries from the same category?

What do you mean by tagcloud? When we list the entries from the same category (ie, here: http://faqs.pcbsd.org/category19.html) there are no images, and we can have a two-column layout too :)

Edit: It seems there will be a tagcloud in future versions, this can be in the left pane. I forgot! I'd like to have the search box larger, and underneath the upper-right menu like on my FAQ page (see link above) :)

Hi,

version 2.0 has a tagcloud next to the records instead the Top10 all the time.
