== !BluePrint CSS ==

This page hosts the detailed specification for the [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sahanapy/+spec/css Blueprint for the CSS Cleanup].

The CSS could do with cleaning up to remove unused styles & some updating to give us maximal usability.

=== Filesystem Layout ===
The overall Layout is determined by: {{{views/layout.html}}}.

The main CSS file is: {{{static/styles/S3/sahana.css}}} with some supplementary styles in {{{static/styles}}}.


The styles are separated into different folders depending on which layer they come from, to ease debugging & maintenance as framework components get updated.


For production installs ({{{t2.debug==False}}}), they get consolidated into two file for faster downloads:
 * {{{static/styles/S3/sahana.min.css}}}
 * {{{static/styles/gis/gis.min.css}}}
This consolidation is done as part of the [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesReleaseProcess Release Process].

=== appadmin ===
 * http://127.0.0.1:8000/sahana/appadmin/
Web2Py's appadmin (Database administration) inherits the Layout of the application.[[BR]]
Our layout isn't designed to accomodate the 3 menu options in the top-right: design, state, db[[BR]]
2 possible solutions here:
 * rewrite {{{controllers/appadmin.py}}} so that these 3 are the module options & return these & the list of enabled modules.
  * means more maintenance work whenever this is updated upstream
 * rewrite {{{views/layout.html}}} & {{{static/styles/S3/sahana.css}}} to move the appadmin way of doing things

=== Sub-menus ===
Currently the left-hand navbar has only 2 levels of hierarchy: Modules & Module Options[[BR]]
Some modules (e.g. DVI) need more.[[BR]]
This is also discussed in the BluePrintFramework
