first of all I want to tell the developers that I love joomla!
Joomla is a beautifully peace of software!
The page class suffix is a fine functionality,
but it could be more efficient, if there won't be new classnames for
several elements but only one id for each body tag!
Actually it takes me more time,
to define special formats like:
.bloghomepage {...}
.contenpanopenhomepage {...}
.contentheadinghompage {...}
...
.blogmysitexyz {...}
.contentheadingmysitexyz {...}
.contenpanopenmysitexyz {...}
...
Hey, why so complicated?
The names grow longer and in spite of comments it is not easy to recover the right
style definition in a complex css file.
The actual effectiveness is not what Cascading Style Sheets really means!
Why not use the full power of CSS?
The effect of this solution would be, that my css-files are clearer and the HTML-sourcecode would be slimmer!
The Handling of a unique id for the body would be more flexible and entirely sufficient!
Here an example:
In my CSS-File now I can wrote:
#homepage .blog {...}
#homepage .contentheading {...}
#homepage .contenpanopen {...}
...
#news .blog {...}
#news .contentheading {...}
#news .contenpanopen {...}
...
With this id, we can style every element in the body with the reference to unique id!
#homepage #whatever {display: none;}
Do you understand the difference?
It would be really nice, if the developers could notice my advice for the next release.
This little thing it is not very complicated but really effective!
