Currently in production, Mobility is a theme specificallty targeted for mobile devices utilizing jQuery Mobile. Using mobile device detection, Mobility can be automatically displayed to mobile users, while all other visitors will view your standard "desktop" theme.

One of the coolest features on jQuery Mobile is the built in AJAX-powered navigation system, which is really what makes the framework viable in a mobile context. This allows mobile users, often with cache restrictions, to not have to re-download all the dependencies (JavaScript and CSS files) for each page visit.

Look for a Mobility beta sometime late 2012 to early 2013. and we'll keep you informed with updates along the way.

Optionally display "News" style previews of up to 5 of your latest content pages, in a CSS based and SEO friendly layout that can be customized by theme. Many other features, including jQuery truncation, Disqus integration, Tags Manager to help optimize your content plus tags, Icon Manager to help spice up your "News" style previews with images, and more.

Update: June 2012 - The cTopics module was nearly completed for RavenNuke 2.4, but changes to the disqus integration and improvements to the administration section are still pending. Hope to finish this module and make available to the public at some time in the coming weeks. With several other projects going, can't really give a specific timeline, but will add that it is a priority... For the time being, the download button below is deactivated.

Update: June 2012 -  This document was intended to be a supporting document for a yet unfinished "style switching" theme which has been delayed until 2013; after the release of RavenNuke 3.0. Our apologies, but this document will remain incomplete until then...

In preparation for the upcoming release of our style switching theme Chameleon, we would like to give a quick overview of how alternate stylesheets work; so that others can modify, customize, and build upon the Chameleon framework. CSS stylesheets can relate to your document in several different ways; but for now let's concern ourselves with persistent and alternate stylesheets.

Persistent stylesheets are your normal, everyday stylesheets that are always enabled. They are defined by setting the rel attribute to “StyleSheet” and have NO title attribute.
 

While there are countless SEO tips for improving the visibility of your website to search engines; one concept any web developer should consider we'll call the "Three Headed Monster". Simply put, get your most important keyword phrase in the TITLE, URL, and prominently used within the CONTENT of the the page. Of course, nothing is that simple, and the best tip will always be well written content utilizing important and related keywords.

To improve your SEO rankings even more, also include well crafted meta keywords and descriptions. Did we mention that the RavenNuke™ CMS can generate meta keywords and descriptions dynamically based on the content of your page (nukeDH)?

So with that, let's show you how to modify Content Plus™ to include the title of categories and content pages in the URL, i.e.

http://www.yoursite.com/content-5-your-excellent-keywords.html

Update: June 2012 - This module is nearly completed although needs some updates for full compatibility with RavenNuke v2.5. I'll look to fit this in sometime in the coming weeks, as time allows... Noting that there are several other projects currently in the works that may take precedence.

Kudos to Tutorialzine for their excellent tutorial Google Powered Site Search with jQuery, as we have ported this as a ready to go theme-able module for your RavenNuke powered website. Use the power of Google Ajax Search to dynamically search your site for content, images, and/or video. See the included install.txt for setup instructions and additional info.

Update: June 2012 - This project has been delayed as it should be much easier to accomplish a "style switching" theme after the release of RavenNuke 3.0. With a variety of other projects on the board look for work to resume on Chameleon some time in 2013.

Currently in production, our upcoming free theme Chameleon will introduce several new features which many webmasters might enjoy and benefit from. Built around a flexible CSS based template, Chameleon can adapt to just about any fluid or fixed size layout that one may desire. Alternate Stylesheet support for on-demand style and layout changes without a page reload. Media Targeted Stylesheet Support for attractive site-wide printable layouts; and styling targeted to specific devices such as handheld, braille, and aural.

One of the great things about RavenNuke™ is that it's easy to customize without an extensive knowledge of PHP or proprietary code. So as we build our site, we thought we would share how we achieved some of the customizations we needed. Being able to highlight code was one of our first needs, so we tried out several options.

GeSHi, Chili, prettify, Syntax Highlighter, and a few others where solid candidates; but in the end we decided on Highlight by software maniacs. Relatively easy to use with dynamic language detection, a nice selection of included themes, and it highlighted code within our forums more reliably than Chili or prettify.
