Hello all, Don't know how much use this is to anyone, but I spent a while working it out so thought I would share. I have made a full (visual) integration of the "matrix" template with Movable Type 4.1 (should work with all 4.x) that will cope with design changes made in movable type itself. This version is based on the "Univeral Template Set", but can be easily adapted to fit the standard template system (in fact you should only need to change the index page itself) I would be interested to hear if anyone manages to do this using my code, or even if anyone cares! Header include (edit this from existing)
<mt:setvarblock name="html_head" prepend="1">
<MTIf name="main_template">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom" href="<$MTLink template="atom"$>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="<$MTLink template="rss"$>" />
<MTUnless name="main_index">
<link rel="start" href="<$MTBlogURL$>" title="Home" />
</MTUnless>

</MTIf>

Gallery Template (add as a new index template and set the "output file" to gallery/themes/matrix/templates/local/theme.tpl)

<div {g->mainDivAttributes}>
{*
* Some module views (eg slideshow) want the full screen. So for those, we don't draw
* a header, footer, navbar, etc. Those views are responsible for drawing everything.
*}
{if $theme.useFullScreen}
{include file="gallery:`$theme.moduleTemplate`" l10Domain=$theme.moduleL10Domain}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'progressbar'}
{g->theme include="progressbar.tpl"}
{else}
<div id="gsNavBar" class="gcBorder1">

<div class="gbBreadCrumb">

{* Include the appropriate content type for the page we want to draw. *}
{if $theme.pageType == 'album'}
{g->theme include="album.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'photo'}
{g->theme include="photo.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'admin'}
{g->theme include="admin.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'module'}
{g->theme include="module.tpl"}
{/if}
<div id="gsFooter">
{g->logoButton type="validation"}
{g->logoButton type="gallery2"}
{g->logoButton type="gallery2-version"}
{g->logoButton type="donate"}
</div>
{/if} {* end of full screen check *}
</div>
{*
* Give Gallery a chance to output any cleanup code, like javascript that needs to be run
* at the end of the <body> tag. If you take this out, some code won't work properly.
*}
{g->trailer}
{* Put any debugging output here, if debugging is enabled *}
{g->debug}
</div>
<$MTInclude module="Footer"$>
Then edit the base stylesheet for your design (in my case it was in mt-static/themes-base/blog.css but can be base_theme.css) and add the following after "layout-wm #beta"
/* Wide */
.layout-w #alpha {
width: 940px;
}
And there you should have a nice integrated gallery in your movable type install! You can see an example at http://www.chloeandrichard.com/gallery Cheers <edit>Link changed due to "hiding" the gallery until it has pictures in it!</edit> |
