Views default styles (templating)

[neyworg]

The default views are coded using primarily a style designed for the component not Joomla templating. When using a custom template a lot of the universal items do not match the default template making it so JEM does not have an integrated look/feel. JEM should integrate Joomla templating better without custom overrides.

By changing the code even slightly it will help greatly in helping JEM integrate better.

Things like using class="buttons" for the icons, Use class=actions instead of class="buttons" for moving the icons to the right side.

Use the main and print icons associated with the template NOT ones defined by the component.

This should only affect universal items that all views have such as Title, Hits, icons, creation date, written by, Last Update, Published....

People should not have to override a component template to get back to a default Joomla template look/feel.

The templates have to be reworked definitely, you are right.

Consider using http://schema.org/Event micro-formatting in the tempting within the event detail view

Example of micro formatting:

I think this has been sufficiently addresses with general work on the component. The related issues have been addressed but are separate issues.

I recommend closing this specific issue.

Do things really have changed? It still looks like before, doesn't it?
