Re: [WSG CMS] Etomite CMS
Hi everyone, this list is very quiet. I would like to hear from those who have plenty of CMSs experiences or who are CMS developers, how do you think of Etomite CMS. Many months, I tried different type of Opensource CMS but cannot find one that I really think works for me. I need something that is web standard compliant, that can generate clean code with strict doctype and has full CSS support, more importantly, a CMS that doesn't offer too much and easy to learn to use it. Finally, I found Etomite which suites my need very well and would like to use it for all future projects. http://www.etomite.org/ tee * The CMS discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ * I currently use Etomite on my personal site, finding it very flexible. Currently the site validates to XHTML strict and CSS standards. I would be interested in comments regarding rendering in various browsers, as this is the next thing I need to check.

Re: [WSG] Print style sheets
Designer wrote: I am still battling with print style sheets - In particular, I have several property descriptions on the holiday site, [1], and I'm failing to get a decent print out. Some are OK, some are awful, and I can't see what the difference is. If you go to the site, pick 'holiday homes', then 'Constantine', then 'Curlews' and look at 'full details', you will find that the print style produces a reasonable print-out from firefox, but rubbish from IE. The problem is all tied up with the images being floated left and right: in FF there is no problem, but in IE I don't get any word wrap and the images stand alone. It's a mess. The two style sheets for these details are at [2] and [3]. If anyone has had experience of this and how to overcome it, I'd be really, really, thrilled.

The screen version has the paragraph text justified, and this confuses the floats in the print version. Changing to text-align : left in the print style cures the problem!

However in Opera 8.52 build 1631 your div id=innerContentColumnh1 Welcome to Holt Online Info /h1 section looks very blocky on all pages (1280 x 1024 screen res) at any zoom level. I will be keeping an eye on Etomite - I currently use phpWebSite for my CMS but it only produces XHTML transitional text/html. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 _ ... (0) ... / / \ .. / / . ) ..

Here is an example page from a site I'd been working on that uses XHTM strict 1.0, the contents there are generated from snippets and chunks and the page is validated. http://www.decorsit.com.my/index.php?id=17 As a new CMS user, I am very impressed as I spent countless hours playing with Mamboo, Joolmla, phpWebsite and a few more that I can't even remember their names now, all of them either offer too much or generate codes that can't validate and of table layouts. tee * The CMS discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
RE: [WSG] Accessibility standards - for commercial consumption
Hi I would like to say - just to clear any misconceptions - that I am not on the WCAG samurai list. Gian -Original Message- From: listdad@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lachlan Hunt Sent: Monday, 29 May 2006 10:28 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Accessibility standards - for commercial consumption Tony Crockford wrote: My suggestion and hope, was that this community could create a document(s) that advised the web design community at large in a pragmatic and specific way how to *implement* the guidelines. ... Of course the Academic approach dictates one generic document that covers all technologies - easier to maintain and future-proof, and that's the answer I suspect the WAI will give when asked to extend WCAG2 to include real-life specific and pragmatic examples. Real life examples is supposedly what Techniques for WCAG 2.0 is all about, though it's not very good or complete. I think this illustrates what the web developer community should be focussing on. Rather than trying to translate a technical specification to make it readable by average joe developers, it would be more helpful to focus on the actual techniques that can be easily applied by others. Much like Position is Everything focuses on practical examples and explanations of CSS techniques and related issues, a site that does the same for accessibility would be very useful. There are several sites and resources that do offer accessibility tools and advice, such as Juicy Studio and WATS.ca, but when it comes to something that really walks a developer through accessibility from designing and building with modern, accessible techniques; coping with browser limitations, through to actually testing it with (and understanding how a disabled person uses) assistive technology, there really isn't all that much readily available. How many people here actually test their sites with a screen reader (or other assistive technology) regularly? One of the major problems is the price (JAWS, HPR and Windows-Eyes start from around $US800 or more), but even using a trial version, I expect most of us wouldn't really know where to begin. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
