Bugzilla made more qooxdoo-ish

It was a lot of work. But today I would like to announce, that our bugzilla is fully integrated inside the new qooxdoo portal now. This means that it uses the same header, footer and colors. I have also tried to make the templates a bit more conforming to our site-wide used standard XHTML 1.1. This was quite complicated, because the default templates contain old style unclosed br- and hr-tags, deprecated font-tags, align- and valign-attributes and some other '98-style HTML code.
To search for a better base template is not so easy because with the general search term "bugzilla" the results are the mostly from other bugzilla installations and not really related to a bugzilla problem itself. So it was a big chunk of work. But the result looks quite nice and I think we could keep it this way, at least for the next few months.

You did pretty nice work there. Is it possible to release those basic templates, without the qooxdoo specific stuff? In the best case, all qooxdoo stuff is in the CSS files anyway

Sorry, it's more than just CSS. I have patches many dozens files. This was needed because of bugzilla antique HTML code. If have removed all "font", "b", "i", "center" tags and cleaned up many other stuff to better conform to current standards. Yes, there is also much CSS. But it's not only CSS.August 28, 2006 11:25 am
