You can change the background of the content in the Catalyst template parameters. Just click on profiles and set the "Content" Paramter to "White Texture".

We added this feature to the War6 blog template for ZOO. There is now also an option how the date should show up so it looks exactly like the Joomla blog style.

Yes, and please do the same for the product catalog app.

Other template clubs include K2 templates in their Joomla templates but you don't do the same for all ZOO apps, your own products.

Here's another comparison based on the style of the new theme. The differences are too many and obvious. I hope that Mustaq or YOOtheme team should ensure as soon as possible to fix this discrepancy.

Please vote this implementation!

Voting initial request UP. The attached image in the initial post by maxita says it all. NONE of the answers provide a suitable solution The Zoo apps are not styled per theme. I am not using Catalyst ONLY for this very reason. My client could not understand why the Zoo apps where in white instad of black, and why the fonts for all the Zoo apps were different families.

Zoo Blog has a new template system for a while now. It is called Zoo Warp6 Template. You should enable it in the configuration of the Zoo blog.

The goal was to create a mechanism in Zoo Template system where it inherits the Joomla Default Template made by YT. Since the release of that important function, you will not need to have any Zoo templates made customized anymore.

This was an important milestone in the Zoo Journey, and thanks to the guys in YT that they worked hard and made it available.

Try to enable Warp6 Template in Zoo.

Please can you show me some example or explain exactly how do that or a link of some tutorial about that? Because talking with mustaq this fuction its not implemented and you can't stylize the zoo blog apps as the joomla news modification done by yooteam... Thanks!

Yes please. I intend to use the Zoo Blog, Business Directory and Documentation apps on a YT based website.

But ( as has been pointed out ), currently only the Blog app inherits the YT Template style when using Warp6 template.

Would be awesome capability for ALL Zoo apps.

Thank you for the support.

Sascha, what about the templates of the product catalog app?

Here is a workaround by Jan:

Goto :

media/zoo/applications/blog/templates/war6/renderer/item/full.php and teaser.php

find

<h1 class="title"><?php echo $this->renderPosition('title'); ?></h1>

and insert

<time datetime="<?php echo substr($item->created, 0,10); ?>" pubdate>  
<span class="month"><?php echo $this->app->html->_('date', $item->created, $this->app->date->format('%b'), $this->app->date->getOffset()); ?></span>  
<span class="day"><?php echo $this->app->html->_('date', $item->created, $this->app->date->format('%d'), $this->app->date->getOffset()); ?></span>  
</time>

right before that line.

Regards,
Jan

sacha thanks for your reply. The problem is not the texture of the background but the intire style of the ZOO blog that is not personalized with the theme style as for the news of Joomla. Some moths ago mustaq have started to release some pakage for fix this things, the last pakage is for Air template and this is from description:

Are you looking for a Theme for your ZOO Blog App that perfectly compliments the YOOtheme Air Joomla template ?
Do you miss the styling on your ZOO Blog App that is the same as the Joomla Blog styling included with the YOO Air template ?
What's that you say ? You do ? Ok, your search is over, download this package and install it easily via the Joomla Extension Installer, go to your Blog App instance and assign the theme to your Blog and Enjoy !

mustaq website

But for lack of time was unable to continue the project. Why not consider releasing an option to customize the style of ZOO blog apps ?

ralharithi thanks for your answer but your instructions are only partially solve the problem, for example in themes such as "cloud" the bedge of the news section, does not appear in zoo blog, in my opinion should be created a skin for each specific topic, also suitable for zoo applications and in particular at the zoo blog.

this is sample blog new style : http://www.werilia.com/

@ david.aparicio

I remember Jan saying Warp 6.1 will have this functionality.

The issue is that these apps has just one default template, and that is limited to it. However, when looking at the blog App you can see that there is a templating system in place. Yes it is not perfect, but it is coming through "slowly".

I hope that they will deliver on this issue and allow for a template system for all Apps, once for all, you have descibed a very valid basic requirement.

I also hope that they would give comprehensible tutorials on how to generate new customized templates. This comes very handy once doing a PSD to WARP and Zoo.

ive done this successfully for Blog (warp6 on a YT)
, but when going to the Product Catalog, it seems there's only 1 template (Default) in the list?

is there a possibility to style the Product Catalog as well?
Especially since im having a black background, but with a white Zoo instance now..

Try to enable Warp6 Template in Zoo.

Updated:
Go to >Zoo
Then > Blog
Then > Config
You will see: Details - Click on >Template
Then > Warp6

That's it.
