2023 Theme

[im-grahammartin]

It would be nice to apply different themes to different editions of the conference – giving each a distinct look and feel.

We already have this capability, but have not utilised it within the FabriCon site.

Guy is designing a FabriCon specific theme for us. This issue is blocked until the design is available

We now have a theme and Rob is working on implementing

Outstanding issues to get the theme live:

General

• Images: We need appropriate images for the masthead and the smaller images. They also need to be made responsive. Assigned to @im-lukeedwards

Holding Page

• Vote functionality (low priority): At the moment the suggestion and vote functionality live in a single modal. As we aren't using Bootstrap in the new design, it will be a bit more work to make it work as before, so may opt for different Suggest and Vote buttons for now. Assigned to @robmeijer

Schedule Page

• Dynamic content: The current design still has everything hard-coded, to have as many schedule examples as possible to work with. This needs to be updated to make it be dynamically pulled from the DB. Assigned to @robmeijer
• Use rem instead of px units: The design still uses px units in a lot of places, where it was just necessary to get it to look right. Would like to update it to use rem units instead. Assigned to @robmeijer
• Font scaling: It would be nice if fonts scaled a bit better on mobile vs desktop. Assigned to @im-lukeedwards
• Talk Location per card: In the old design, the location is noted on each card, so that we are not dependent on the location column at the top. This needs to be carried over to the new design in some form. Assigned to @im-lukeedwards
• Sticky headers: We currently pin the top nav. It would be nice if this was carried over to the new design for both the top nav and the schedule headers. Assigned to @robmeijer

Images: Got hold of the best images I could find and also used the IM instagram for crowd shots. These aren't great but they are the best we have until we get some nicer photos at the next conference!

Font scaling: Got some basic font scaling in. Can be tweaked further as required.

Talk Location per card: Used a map-pin emoji to call out location on mobile.
