Don,
Does theme-zen work with vanilla OACS? If not when is the expected timeframe.

Thanks

The general CSS class scheme is there. The master templates are in a state of transition at the moment, and we'll be changing the way packages pass header information and some other stuff in oacs 5.4, due for release this fall (early, I hope).

Compatibility master templates are provided for existing sites, but eventually we'll probably say "if you wanna upgrade, you gotta upgrade [everything]".

Check out the oacs-5-3 branch and install a test site if you want to get an idea as to where we're going.

Oh, I should make clear that the theme-zen package itself is .LRN only (its master template knows about .LRN navigation toolbars, etc).

But we're working towards a common and simplified and more useful CSS scheme with the goal of (finally) making it easier to "skin" OpenACS as well as .LRN sites.

Some pieces are in common, of course (and always have been). Form and list template CSS are shared between core and .LRN, and both now emit HTML that validates and meets accessibility standards (level 2? is that right? someone who knows this stuff well correct me :)

Form and list template code (as of oacs-5-3) emits html that is level AA compliant.

Avni, I am unsure how your answer relates to my problem. The AA complience is not in doubt at this website I had the problem of manually running the upgrade script at.

I need to retract my statement. There are still some aspects of
form and list template code that is not AA compliant.

For example:
the currency and block widgets.

I am not sure about the richtext and date widgets.
We had tested date widget a while back and I thought it was compliant.

Does anyone know the latest status?
