Hi!

Results from today's brainstorming session...

Style Editor
============

## Requirements

* Show list of elements for the MidCOM component whose style is being  
edited
* Develop naming conventions for elements:
   - namespacing
   - check if we can use dots and dashes inside style name
* Style editor should be connected to the site hierarchy to enable
   users connect substyles to directories, and to see appropriate  
element
   lists for that directory
* Make importing "web designer" -made styles into Midgard easier

## Style editor

* "Set style" button in edit-this-page
   - "Set style to directory" editor in AIS
     - Selection list of available substyles and option "create new  
style"
     - Checkbox for making the selection inherited
* "Edit style"
   - List all styles of the pages' style stack, and their element
   - Clicking element shows its default value in <pre /> and
     provides textarea for changing, which will create the element
     into the local style
   - CSS classes showing which elements have been overridden

     Mockup:

     de.linkm.newsticker
       * show-list-header (overridden in "Edi's blog")
       * show-article

     template_Kubrick
       * ROOT
       * footer

     Edi's blog
       * show-list-header

## Style importer

* Import zip/tarball containing a style
   - Place the HTML/PHP file as <(ROOT)>
   - Upload images as style attachments, replace all image refs with
     attachment URL
   - Create CSS/JS files as elements, replace URLS
   - Parse the ROOT element via DOM, add "mandatory" elements:
     - HTMLAREA loaders <(head-extra)>, <(bodytag-extra)> or something
     - Look for <div id="content-main"></div>, replace contents with <
(content)>
     - Replace <title /> contents with $_MIDCOM->show_pagetitle();
     - Replace appropriate Microformats with dynamically loaded  
component output
   - Hook hojuruku's Mambo template parser here
