Tales Union's New (Temp) Layout
30 August 2009 by ShawnWelcome to Tales Union's new (temporary) layout (codenamed Tales 3.5)! We've been working on this new layout over the last month, along with a bunch of other changes. ;)
Before I begin talking about the changes, note that this layout is "temporary" to a certain degree. We were working on this on another area on the server, but the code was still accessing the database that the old site used, so to revamp sections like Imagery and Video, it would have required a bunch of workarounds to keep them separate, thus, we decided to launch this layout somewhat early to make the transition easier and faster. This is also why the banner/color scheme is not finalized as one would expect, since the artist who is doing the new design is busy at the moment.
The new code is much more easier to manage and should load slightly faster since we are using a custom-made CMS and not a pre-built one (with its own overhead). This is the new code that the Union sites will be using, so expect this layout design to be used elsewhere on the Union in the next few months.
Due to the immense changes in this move, we are expecting issues and bugs to pop up. Please feel free to contact us if you encounter any issues. We'll be using Twitter to alert when work on Video and Imagery is being done, so be sure to follow us for any updates.
