Anjolee Pages Live on The Closet Online

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I have been working on my Anjolee pages for the Closet Online site. I put up their press release and pages that display a couple of their blogs, and I got started on some catalog pages. You can view the results at http://www.theclosetonline.com/stores/anjolee/. I will be putting up more catalog pages, but there is a problem with some of the available catalog items that are provided by Anjolee. Some of the descriptions do not match the pictured items. I have notified Anjolee, and they are working on the problem.

I reworked my comment software to display in the left sidebar column on this site. I basically like the way that it came out and will probably use it on other sites. Putting the comments in the sidebar makes them visible without scrolling to the bottom of the page. I think that this might serve my purpose a bit better for some things. I needed to adjust the software because the minimum width did not fit within the space available. I think that I still have a tweak or two, but you can see the current result on the catalog pages of the Anjolee store linked above.

The Sidebar Comment Section Adventure

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I am updating a site and building some catalog pages. I thought that it would be a good use of the space below the sidebar nav section to add a comment section. This proved to be a bit of an adventure. I needed to make changes in both the css file and the index file to accomplish this. In other places on the site I want the standard format for the comment section. I now have two stylesheets and two index pages in this comment section. The linking is not a problem (I don’t think) because the call code is easy to edit. I got the sidebar comments working on my test page so all should be in order when I go live with the site. I will have to check and see if it all works as planned.

I may also get fancy with the catalog nav section. I am thinking of a css drop up or down jump menu. There will be several pages in this catalog. I will have previous and next buttons on the pages, but I am thinking of also having a jump menu to get to other sections and pages in the catalog. If I get this going it will be another tool in my bag of tricks. Be assured that I will post to let you know how this all turns out. I will link to the new pages so that you can look them over.
