I took the 2011.06.08a narative report you released this morning (err... yesterday morning now), and modified it to include support for text menus and/or curvy boxes. Please see attached zip.

I spent a bit of time to implement the changes properly (rather than just hacking them in, as I would if it were just for me) so the options are defined in config.xml for text based menus & curvy boxes, the menu texts are all defined in dictionary.xml, and there are two new subroutines at the end of util.vbs.

Five themes are included which can be used with or without the new options :

There were a couple of code changes too: a couple of incy wincy bugs fixes, and two slight functional changes:

a. The overview map now opens in the detail frame, but individual and family maps still open in the popup frame
b. Entries in contacts.htm, sources.htm, and pictures.htm are now sorted by name (I suspect they were sorted by ID before - it appeared random)

(this is a minor update from last night's post, fixing the help page so it displays help appropriate to the menu choice, and fixing an issue with the bluedna theme - wrong top image was included)

I've published a demo tree with each of the themes

(these are now incorporated in the latest narrative report)

Very nice work indeed!

Thank you very much for the other fixes as well. I will include these and the themes in future versions. 

I will also move the title to the home page for the default theme as well.  This will help accommodate long titles.

This is amazing, but how can I use the new themes and options?
I downloaded the file into a new skin folder, but I didn't see any difference after report generation
What I'm doing wrong?



Thank you
Ronald

Try setting "Use Icon Menu" to "no" - this will show the text menus as per the screenshots.

You could also change "Show borders around frames making up each HTML page" to "always hide borders".

Ron - I have a feeling we looked at changing the frame size for the Icon menu to be the same height as the Text menu option, so both would show the horizontal graphic underneath. Also did we move the report title out of the header and into the main frame?

Strangely I have just been looking into the same thing, i.e. changing the height of the heading to reveal the graphic.  Should be able to post an updated skin sometime later this evening. And yes the report title now appears in the 'home' frame.

ronald.picado I think you have downloaded the skin template attached to this post.  However themes are now part of the standard skin see Latest GenoPro 2011 'Narrative Report' so please download from there.



HarryCaper Could you please edit your earlier post and delete the attachment, perhaps adding a link as above to the latest skin.  Ta.

Thanks, the problem was solved downloading the most recent version and changing the settings as you recommended
  • "Use Icon Menu" to "no".
  • "Show borders around frames making up each HTML page" to "always hide borders".
after the changes it looks....

Now, I'm trying to adjust it to the Spanish dictionary.

Thanks again.

Ronald

Ron,

Finally enough people have migrated to IE9 and above, that we can start to think about simplifying the implementation of the curvy boxes so that it is simply done by the html5 css setting, rather than the cludge we've used in order to support older versions of IE.

box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px 3px #675936;
border-radius: 10px;

Doing it via border-radius will simplify the templates a little, allow us to drop one of the variables, and make it easier for folks to tweak the colour scheme (as the 4 corner image files will no longer be required.)

Of course... there is a part of me that thinks... if it ain't broke...

:-)
Harry
