Maybe it's a choice to write everything to only one or two pages, or a plugin like acDIVs might be a option.
done. Makes page loading a little slower, but otherwise looks much more orderly. Also the links to certain acDIVs (from the newsboxes) work nicely.
All in all it's an improvement IMO. However, when JavaScript is disabled the headings are a bit inconspicuous and the links from the newsboxes don't really work. While this may be acceptable, it seems the links in the newsboxes have to be manually adjusted for every new entry, because they're numerically ordered from top to bottom.
I found the disadvantages for visitors with disabled JavaScript, and also having to adjust links after adding a new entry too much. So for the time being it's back to subpages.

Maybe acDIV could get an additional config option, to have anchor number in countdown mode, so that Links wouldn't change after adding a point. (Sorry couldn't find the time to do it myself.) Also the <noscript> could be slightly enlarged as

Code: Select all

$o .= "<noscript><span>" . $a_acDIVs_Content[$i] . "</span></noscript>";

Perhaps it's even possible to use the heading itself as anchor?

Really like the changes on de website, logo and wiki. More modern and fresh. This way one is more invited to come back again.

One thing I personally would change.... the green area at the top of the website. I would some nice simple picture for that area.

Another remark... it seems like there are 2 wiki's, it is confusing... one on top in the top menu of the website. And another at the right in the bottom under the text 'plugins'. Is the last one mentioned only a wiki for plugins?

The CMSimple Wiki is a Wiki related to all variants of CMSimple, while the CMSimple_XH Wiki is concerned with CMSimple_XH only. There's plenty of useful information to be found on the CMSimple Wiki, but some of it is out-dated, unfortunately, and at least at present this Wiki is somewhat unmaintained.

Have alook at this design. If there would be an interest in using it for one of our official websites, I am ready to finish and polish the code and also to make it fully responsive (or deliver it to someone more skilled in this).

Of course, it's only a question of taste, and changing the colors is the simplest thing to do. I'll make some more versions. But I've been warned that the slider script doesn't work on iPads. Have you any experience with CMSimple like sliders? I have no iPad to test it.

Now ble, green, orange and silver themes are available.
