Pull Request

Purpose

Comprehensive template modernization addressing language constant issues, CSS variable architecture, theme management, and user experience improvements across configuration and styling systems.

Change Summary

Language & Translation System

  • Fixed language constant references: COM_TEMPLATES_*TPL_MOKOCASSIOPEIA_*
  • Normalized all constant names to UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (removed hyphens)
  • Added missing sys.ini translations for fieldset labels
  • Updated copyright dates: 2025 → 2026 across all files

Asset & Resource Loading

  • Fixed asset registry error: template.global.basetemplate.base
  • Removed non-existent script references (theme-init.js, darkmode-toggle.js)
  • Conditional Bootstrap component loading (Offcanvas only when drawers present)
  • Fixed CSS path references: /css/global//css/colors/
  • Added Osaka font asset loading for site titles

CSS Variable Architecture (200+ variables)

  • Reorganized into 20 logical sections with clear headers
  • Added missing variables: navbar (17), offcanvas (3), cards (17), breakpoints (5), VirtueMart (61), Gable (7)
  • Standardized structure across all color scheme files
  • Updated docs/CSS_VARIABLES.md (495 → 1,240 lines)
/* Before: scattered, no organization */
:root { --color-primary: #0d6efd; }

/* After: 20 sections with headers */
/* ========================================
   1. BRAND & THEME COLORS
   ======================================== */
:root[data-bs-theme="light"] {
  --color-primary: #0d6efd;
  --accent-color-primary: #0d6efd;
  --nav-bg-color: #001d3d;
  /* ... organized by category ... */
}

Theme & Color Management

  • Set Roboto (local) as default font scheme
  • Removed Alternative theme from dropdown (kept files for compatibility)
  • Enhanced theme selection with Standard/Custom explanations
  • Added custom color implementation instructions to template description
  • Global padding: 1rem → 0.15rem
  • Converted field descriptions to tooltips (hint attribute)

Component Styling

  • Added variable-based Bootstrap buttons (8 variants + outlines)
  • Added variable-based alerts (8 Bootstrap + 4 Joomla mappings)
  • Search button styling with theme color integration
  • Input fields now properly follow dark theme
  • Fixed .icon-white to use --body-bg (was --body-color)
  • Site title uses Osaka font with --nav-bg-color

Template Configuration

  • Removed default logo path (requires explicit configuration)
  • Added descriptions to font scheme and color palette fields
  • Logo display logic: show title if no logo file present
  • Default title: "MokoCassiopeia"
  • Fluid container parameter added to error.php

Code Cleanup

  • Removed redundant Bootstrap behavior calls (handled by WAM)
  • Removed inline TOC code from template.js (~1.5KB reduction)
  • Removed TOC styles from template.css (~145 lines)
  • Conditional TOC asset loading (only in TOC layouts)
  • Fixed drawer initialization (removed conflicting manual init)

Testing Evidence

All changes tested across:

  • Light/Dark theme switching
  • Standard/Custom color palette selection
  • Responsive breakpoints (mobile/desktop)
  • Form inputs and buttons in both themes
  • Template configuration UI in Joomla admin

Risk and Rollback

Medium Risk:

  • CSS variable reorganization changes file structure but maintains all definitions
  • Removing Alternative theme option may affect existing installations (files retained)
  • Global padding reduction (1rem → 0.15rem) affects spacing throughout template

Rollback: All changes are additive or reorganizational. Reverting commit restores previous state. Alternative theme files remain for manual selection if needed.

Checklist

  • Follows Conventional Commits
  • Tests added or updated (no test infrastructure)
  • Documentation updated (CSS_VARIABLES.md, template descriptions)
  • License header present where applicable
  • Linked issue(s) referenced

Reviewer Notes

Focus areas:

  1. CSS variable organization in src/media/css/colors/*/ - verify all variables present and properly scoped
  2. Component styles at end of template.css - test button/alert theming
  3. Template configuration fields in templateDetails.xml - verify tooltips display correctly
  4. Language constant updates - check for any broken translations

Breaking changes:

  • Alternative theme no longer in dropdown (intentional)
  • Global padding reduced significantly (0.15rem vs 1rem)
  • Asset loading now conditional (may affect custom implementations)

Review and Approval

Technical review requested for:

  • CSS variable architecture decisions
  • Component styling approach with color-mix()
  • Template configuration UX changes

Pull request overview

This PR modernizes the MokoCassiopeia Joomla template by standardizing language constants, restructuring theme/color assets around CSS variables, and improving admin UX and frontend styling (buttons/alerts/forms/search/header branding).

Changes:

  • Reworked theme/color palette infrastructure (CSS variables, palette selection UX, asset loading paths, removal of Alternative palette option).
  • Updated template asset registry and template PHP entrypoints (WAM keys, conditional Bootstrap Offcanvas loading, removed unused scripts, Osaka font loading).
  • Expanded documentation and translations to reflect the new variable architecture and configuration UI.

  • After removing the Alternative palette from the UI and deleting the light alternative asset entries, the asset registry still registers dark alternative assets later in this same list. Since the alternative CSS files are removed in this PR, those remaining asset entries will point to missing files (and existing sites configured to use the alternative dark palette will break). Either retain the alternative CSS assets/files for compatibility, or remove the remaining alternative asset registrations too.

The custom palette template instructs users to copy this file for both light and dark custom palettes, but the file only defines variables under :root[data-bs-theme='dark']. If copied to the light palette location, it will have no effect in light mode. Consider including both a light and dark :root block in this template (or provide separate light/dark template files and update the instructions accordingly).
