Container Box Styles

Shado7.7 uses new styles to colour-code the workflow status of a container (Published, Awaiting Publishing, Checked Out, Reedit). Not all of them have changed but the most commone ones i.e. Published and Awaiting Publishing. The screenshot below shows these new colours:

New Container Box Styles

 Some existing users may find this change confusing after using Shado in its pre-7.7 days. This blog post will show you how to configure Shado to use a stylesheet with the pre-7.7 container box styles. These old styles can be seen in the following screenshot.

Old Container Box Styles

 By default Shado7.7 will use the new container box styles. If you want to revert back to the old container box styles you will need to add a global variable:

In Shado Central navigate to System->Add New Variable.
Add a new global variable with the following values:

 Name: request.themeStyle
 Value: /css/containerboxstyles_old.cfm

The old container box styles should now be used on the front-end of your site.

Note(s):
As mentioned earlier request.themeStyle should be a path which starts from the the value of the global variable request.themePath. By default the value of request.themePath is /shadomx/ui/ufo/themes/blue. So the full path of the stylesheet which gets included is /shadomx/ui/ufo/themes/blue/css/containerboxstyles_old.cfm.

The stylesheet file is a .cfm file which contains the container box styles. If this file does not exist the file will not be included.
