Here’s the public release of my TXP admin interface mod.

Download TXP Admin Mod

v1.1 Updates (06-25-2009):

• Added hover effects on Edit, HTML, and Preview icons.
• Styled mini help buttons.
• Form fields inside fieldsets are white instead of gray.

v1.0 Updates (02-10-2009):

• Slight navigation style changes.
• Rounded some form buttons (in Firefox and Safari).
• Styled legend and fieldset tags.
• Added new images for the text, html and preview button on the Write page.

I didn’t want to add any images to this mod, but the more I looked at those tabs the more I thought they looked out of place. Thanks, -sam.

Simple Instructions:

1. Install the hpw_admincss plugin.
2. Download and unzip my TXP Admin Mod.
3. Upload the 3 .png images to your /textpattern/txp_img/ folder.
4. Paste the contents of admin.css into the “admin” style on the Presentation | Style page.

txplib_head.php Edits:

For best results you will need to edit some of the base TXP code. These edits were originally devised by Mr. Jon Hicks.

1. Open /textpattern/lib/txplib_head.php in your favorite text editor…

2. Replace line 165-ish (as of 4.0.8) with the following:

<tr id="branding">
<td>
<h2><a href="http://<? echo $GLOBALS['prefs']['siteurl']; ?>"><? echo $GLOBALS['prefs']['sitename']; ?></a> &nbsp;|&nbsp; textpattern</h2>
</td>
<td id="navpop"><?php echo navPop(1); ?></td>
</tr>

3. Comment out line 185-ish (as of 4.0.8) so it looks like this:

//'<td class="tabdown"><a href="'.hu.'" class="plain" ...

This TXP Admin Interface would not exist were it not for Jon Hicks’ original TXP Admin Mod.
