Whats next for Xenbase?

[kaieivindm]

@Russ and @Steve

I am curious about the next big thing for Xenbase? Want to share some secrets? Some teasers of what we can expect?

 

[Russ]

There's a few things going into the next Xenbase:

A little customizable top bar,

You can make it look pretty nice with minimal work.

We've also revisited the navigation a little:

You can easily adjust the sub-nav with it's own property(height wise), and it's way easier to style the different states(hover/popupopen)

We also putting this in:

Just a quick easy way to get to various things.

Then a bunch of little fixes we've found over the course of the next two months. It's not a big release but it brings lots of little improvements

Nice!

Like the new admin cp there. Looks clean!

Awesome news Russ! As always

 

[Russ]

We're always open to suggestions too , we've add-on quite a bit of features over the past few releases(we feel) and while there's always room to improve we rarely get suggestions.

 

[Rigney]

Thanks for your comment. I want to know more about Xenbase.

 

[DarkMaGiicS_]

That is actually quiet impressive!

Me too!

It's a nice framework.

 

[Russ]

Thanks for the kind comments everyone

I would like to see more breadcrumb options. Like some controls for admins to choose different styling options to suit their tastes. That would be a unique feature among the style choices out there.

Have any specific ideas? We have a few properties specific to the breadcrumb which make styling it much easier, but I'm always open to new suggestions. If you want to link to any examples that'd be fine as well

Awesome, these look great! Leave it to PixelExit to add in things I didn't even know I wanted (quick access to Admin Control Panel pages)!

We should update the post you quoted, it has been moved to an add-on rather than a part of XenBase as it requires more detailed coding (permissions) and such that it isn't possible to do with just templates.

Ahh, I see. I'd still be interested in seeing it added somewhere as a resource!

You guys have an eta on launch for this?

 

[Steve]

To be completely honest, we have been slammed with custom work with little time to polish off XenBase to the point we're satisfied. We also wanted to get a few things in besides just some bug fixes but we're going to push features back and get a release ready for the weekend *hopefully* - I hate giving times but I know you all have been patiently waiting.

You guys do a superb job at the themes. It is a no brainer why you re getting slammed

You guys put this in my custom theme. However, don't know where you go to edit it xD

On my phone but we have some basic properties : [xb] top bar

We kept them simple because we figured not everyone would keep the same setup so also check out I think the template xb_top_bar for further, advance customizations
