Some questions on TNG integration:

[omarquet]

Hello,

 

I am setting up my Wordpress-Tng integration, acording to the recommendations of  @klooster and I have some questions:

- How can I limit the width of my TNG pages ? I noticed that some wordpress themes spread out the TNG pages on the full width, while some others keep it neatly in a "box". And I want my TNG pages in a box. Not like it is now: https://neptis.be/tng/getperson.php?personID=I193&tree=tree13
I guess some additional CSS is required, but what are the required  settings ?

- In the Kloosterman Wordpress integration, TNG does not use a theme. But apparently there is a default TNG theme (light and dark blue) that is used in the TNG pages in Wordpress. Where in TNG are these colours  defined ? 

- When you use the media files integration through symbolic links, do you upload the pictures to the symbolic links (in the TNG directory) or to the wordpress directories ? 

- And last question: what is the added value of using a common database for Wordpress and TNG. Does it really speed up the loading of pages ?

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

On my sites, the WPTNG-topmenu.php has the following code:

<?php
include("../wp-load.php");
get_header();
?>
<div style="width: 80%; margin: 2em auto 0 auto;">

The WPTNG-footer.php has the following code:

<!-- End TNG page build Div Container-->
</div>
<?php
get_footer(); 
?>

The extra <div ...> in the topmenu and </div> in the footer allow the TNG contents to display nicely centered and contained. Hope that helps

Thank you very much for your advice. I will try it out.

Just wanted to offer belated thanks to @HeatherFeuer for this little tip, which helped me quickly resolve an issue I'd been struggling with in recent days. Simple, but very helpful!
