-----------------------------------
Menu Widget Refactor Guidelines
This document describes the steps needed to refactor the back-office components
to use the new menu widget. Steps are to be applied to the menu widget xml
files.
-----------------------------------------------------
Delete references to the tabButton style.
Change all
default-selected-style="tabButtonSelected"
to
default-selected-style="selected".
Delete orientation="horizontal" and orientation="vertical". The menu widget
renders a simple unordered list, so the menus are vertical by default.
Horizontal menus must be styled with a horizontal menu CSS style (see the
maincss.css file). You can specify a horizontal menu style by using the
menu-container-style property.
Delete default-widget-style, default-tooltip-style.
Example - before refactor:
<menu name="ProfileTabBar" default-menu-item-name="viewprofile"
default-selected-style="tabButtonSelected"
default-title-style="tabButton" default-tooltip-style="tooltip"
default-widget-style="tabButton"
orientation="horizontal" type="simple">
...
</menu>
Example - after refactor:
<menu name="ProfileTabBar" default-menu-item-name="viewprofile"
default-selected-style="selected"
type="simple" menu-container-style="button-bar button-style-1">
...
</menu>

> =======================================================
> The purpose of this task is to improve the current CSS based layout, and
> separate it from the ecommerce application so they do not interfere with
> eachother. There are some issues with the layout, and lots of room for
> improvement including in some cases chaging table-based layouts to CSS based,
> and making styles and HTML structure cleaner and more flexible. This is not
> meant to be nearly as aggessive an effort as in ecommerce, and is meant more
> for general improvements and not to facilitate extremely flexible
> customization and such as is the case in ecommerce.
> I would like to propose the removal of all redundant style info... for
> example, nearly all <div class="tabletext"> wrappers can be removed, the
> exception being where they are used like <p>s - the default text style can be
> set on body; all "inputBox", "selectBox", "smallSubmit" styles can be removed
> - can style input elements globally; remove embedded style="margin: 0" on
> forms, style forms globally; change <div class="head1|head2|head3"> to
> <h1|h2|h3>, etc. (Just the ones off the top of my head, I'm sure there are
> more.)
> I would be happy to help with this, but due to the large number of files
> affected, it will probably need to be coordinated with any other css work.
> I agree with this approach Joe. It is much more flexible and will reduce the
> HTML size a fair bit, and with proper labelling of different areas it can be
> very flexible too. This is what I've done with the ofbiz.org home page.
> You're right about this requiring a lot of changes in lots of different
> files. I'm not sure what the best way to manage this is, but to get it
> started it is probably best to choose 2-3 "proof of concept" pages and get
> those cleaned up, and then solicit help with others based on those.
> Of course, chances are no one except the core group will help anyway, but I
> always find it entertaining to try...
> I would be willing to help as well, if you like. I have converted my
> ecommerce site already to css (www.heatwithsolar.com). Since my goal is to
> use OFBiz on my site, I have a strong desire to retain CSS level 1
> capability. I have no real need to go to a higher standard of CSS yet until
> it is supported by more browsers.
> As soon as I get an SVN up and running well, I'll likely start working on
> this anyways. Just let me know. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
