The Ultimate Oxylus Template (feature requests)

[richpearson]

I have been asked by Oxylus to supply my features requests for this new Robust Template. However I thought it would be easier to start a thread to discuss what end users would like to see as the ultimate template.

It is in no doubt that Oxylus has provided us with 3 amazing templates all of which have there own awesome features, however would it be good to see a template with all the feature requests in one.

My list below is just a starter for 10 please feel free to add to it and lets see what happens.

Homepage

• Add the ability to have a search bar for the whole site in the header
  
• Add the ability to have a log in system for clients/users etc (already supplied you with a link to excellent code)
  
• Add the ability to change the homepage banner from small to full HD width (like Vision)
  
• Add the ability to add text into the banner (like In Focus)
  
• Add the abilty to add colour style at will

Definitely the ability to add any kind of rss feed. Or can you do that now? I'm still playing with it.

Comprehensive list there Rich. Well done.

Cheers mate, just hoping E can add some of these ideas to a new template, imagine a template that had everything init, tell you what I would pay double the fee to see all that

[richpearson]

Hey dehnger2u, I have bought Vision and love it, but to me it lacks the features Robust has, but robust lacks a few of the designer features vision has LOL typical me designer never happy :-) So thinking of getting Robust as well and developing it to suit my needs...

What's your site looking like now or haven't you got that far with it yet?

[willevo]

Right now... I can move pages around but when I create a list of items in categories I don't have the option to move them around...

this is for the links module...


also... when I use that module and don't put a url into the menu it forces me to do that... whereas I think it would be cool if the "visit site" button would just disappear if you didn't add the link... that is just me... i will try and go into the code and turn that button off manually.. and then cry on the forum when I screw something up...

[willevo]

it would also be cool to be able to change a page(module) later if you wanted..

ex. I have a news page but I want to turn it into a blog page so maybe have a dropdown for the page change instead of deleting the page and starting a new one...


and please note I am just adding my two cents.. not complaining at all... this template is pretty damn cool...

just want to try and help make it better in the future.. .

thanks for all the work on it.

How about an MP3 module? Wouldn't mind working one of those in.....

Here's me first use of the template:

Great Template. It works very neatly - have been able to customise it very effectively without it falling apart on me - even when I've tinkered 'under the hood'!

The only think I can think of that I do need and can't make is a log in.
I want to make a recruitment site and allow Job Seekers to log in and amend their CV online, or allow someone who has a job to amend their Job Spec.
