Maybe someone out to PM beat or Nick to see if their is a way to pull an individual styled plugin, I was looking into the code but got confused.

I think the method (function) is in one of the class files under administrator/components/com_comprofiler/

I think it is getViewPlugins or something. If anyone want to try it, let me know how it works, because that would make this perfect.

Hi Chuck,

Just go to my profile and select "Send PM", this function is open to all members.

Actually, a lot of these things can already be done using CB templates and clever CSS instructions in its template.css file.

E.g. position differently the CB positions to suit your needs, without any hacks in CB core, using CB template plugins.

Work on CB 1.1 has already started even before CB 1.0.2 was released, and includes already quite some further templating possibilities.

You should really get a good book or tutorial on CSS, as it really allows a lot of these changes without recoding php html generation. Check for CSS keywords "position", "display", etc.

All of that said, i'm not sure if it's really the site layout which is determinant to the success of a site, more than the community on it, the site usabilitiy, and information that can be found, and finally the possibilities that it offers to users to interact with each other...

But the feature request for greater templating possibilities has been heard, and contributions and suggestions using CB template plugin architecture are always welcome.

In a future release, we will very probably use the MVC paradigm introduced in Joomla! 1.5 in the CB template plugins, allowing for full templating. So any experimental work on CB into that direction will certainly help us.
