New ContentBox CKTemplates Module

Category CKTemplates, ContentBox, ContentBox Modules, News, Presentations, Releases

Another of my examples from my Theming ContentBox Websites talk during ContentBox Developer Week (CBDW.2) last week was a new ContentBox module I created called CKTemplates. Check out the new module which I have out on ForgeBox and GitHub.


After installation it creates a new icon in your CKEditor toolbar for your templates.


When you click on the templates icon you get a "Content Templates" dialog box where you can choose from the available templates. CKTemplates comes with 8 templates included that are all based on Twitter Bootstraps scaffolding.


After selection of, in this case, the "Hero Unit w/ Three Columns" the WYSIWYG CKEditor displays the page with your Twitter Bootstrap scaffolding applied.


New ContentBox Bootswatch Layout

Category Bootswatch, ContentBox, ContentBox Layouts, News, Presentations, Releases

As an example for my Theming ContentBox Websites talk for ContentBox Developer Week (CBDW.2) this week I put together a new ContentBox layout built on Twitter Bootstrap (of course).  The fun part of the layout development was then adding in Bootswatch enabled theming via the layout settings capabilities now available from within ContentBox layouts.  Another interesting portion of the layout was my integration with the new (as of 1.5.2 of ContentBox) minification and LESS compiling capabilities of my CSS assets.  Check out the new layout which I have out on ForgeBox and GitHub.

The ContentBox FormBuilder module has now been updated a great deal from its original 0.1 initial release to version 1.0.  The new version fixes a significant number of bugs as well as adds reCAPTCHA and style/container hooks to the settings screen.
