I'm looking to pay someone to convert my AutoTheme to Xanthia. I'm using PostNuke 0.800 RC3.

The site is www.winsnort.com

Thanks...

Are you sure that it is ok to convert the theme as such? It originates from webvidia as a commercial theme or not? Are you using any module specific templates in AutoTheme?
You don't want to step over to a non-table based design along the way?

* Are you sure that it is ok to convert the theme as such? It originates from Webvida as a commercial theme or not?

There is no problem for my own use.

* Are you using any module specific templates in AutoTheme?

The theme is designed for AutoTheme and it does require AutoTheme to function.

* You don't want to step over to a non-table based design along the way?

I am open to any suggestions. The theme as it is now only functions on the stable PostNuke and I need to move foreward to .8. I can give you access to the them if you need something specific.

Thanks...

Hi,
what time scale do you see for the conversion? Looked through the source code of the page and a conversion from the current table based design to CSS design would require off course some effort. Testing will be important. Just getting the table based design up and running for Theme (xanthia rename that is being used in pn0.8), without converting to tableless is easier.

What I meant by module specific templates is, if I remember correctly, in AutoTheme you can define different theme templates for different PN modules. But from your reaction I suspect you don't use that.
You wont need AutoTheme after conversion to Theme and also all block positions and that kind of stuff has to be placed at the correct blockposition in the theme template.
You can also think about a redesign of the menus, You have one on the left. On the top and on the bottom. The webpage would be more subtle when you clean it up a little.

I pretty flexable, and cost is a factor.

Maybe priced both ways. Will it be more portable with Tableless? What would be the advantage using Tableless?

I use widetheme to remove all the blocks on the left. When you go to forums, that's the widetheme, and the frontpage is the defaulttheme.

Sounds good but a mockup would be good to see what would change?

Thanks...
