Each Tile Group in different div

Thomas - I have a question.

Do you plan in the next version on your template to change code in such a way that each group of tiles would be in different div? What I mean is: single div = single group = many divs inside = many tiles.

This would be a solution to many things like:
-rearranging (would be easier),
-placing group in correct position (i.e. in the center of window),
-hiding single group,
-etc.

I know that last two examples are possible to be done in current version but this idea would clarify order in whole HTML project to more tree data structured:
HTML
-HEAD
-BODY
--HEADER
--CONTAINER
---TILE CONTAINER
----TILE GROUP <--- In current version there is no such a thing and this line and one below are one
-----TILES
--FOOTER
(it's only an example of tree structure to show what I mean)

Re: Each Tile Group in different div

I could do that, but I'm not sure I will since the rearranging of the next version is already finished, and I didn't need the divs. The problem with wrapping divs around the tiles is that they don't adjust their dimensions to the (absolutely positioned) tiles. So they don't really have a use for positioning them.

Many of the things you say can be done with the classes of each tile.

Re: Each Tile Group in different div

Problem with wrapping as far as I searched on Internet can be fixed: 1, 2 but if you already made sth I don't want to ruin the idea and waste your time . It was only an idea.

I mentioned about it because one time I needed sth like that. I don't remember why exacly, perhaps I wanted to create small tool to administrate groups and tiles in sth like CMS. I had a problem with doing it - as far as I remember, the problem was in proper placement of tiles inside a div and, like you said, in size of div.

I'm looking forward to see next version of your template. When can we expect it (more or less precisely)?

Re: Each Tile Group in different div

I hoped to show a demo this week but since I decided to implement a sort of drag n drop tile config page, it has got some delay. Next week I'm going on holiday so it won't be before the middle of August
