The front-end of this profile uses the Uikit 3 library and includes a library of time-saving functions for working with Uikit 3. It stays with the default Uikit styles and we've tried to keep it as generic “Uikit” look as possible. That way, when someone wants to use it to build a site, there is very little they have to reverse engineer or remove. It also means that you should be able to plug in any Uikit 3 theme and have everything adjust perfectly to that theme. We currently have no theme being applied, so you just see the generic Uikit output.
-
This profile includes a blog component and demonstrates how to build a simple blog in ProcessWire.
-
The profile uses Markup Regions and the ProcessWire Functions API.
-
It uses the new Uikit 3 on the front-end in template files and includes a handy PHP library of Uikit-specific functions.
-
One of the template files (
basic-page-edit.php) demonstrates how to implement front-end editing features. When logged in (and page is editable) you can edit any pages using that template on the front-end. -
Uses pagination (after 10+ blog posts) and demonstrates use of comments as well. Includes a
ukPagination()function which tailors ProcessWire's MarkupPagerNav module to deliver Uikit pagination. -
Demonstrates use of a Page reference field, as used by categories in the blog.
-
The template files are easy-to-read and modify, and serve as a good platform to build from. Use of Markup Regions makes them simple to follow in the same way that template files using direct output tend to be simple to follow.
-
Demonstrates implementation of a custom hook function (see in the
/site/ready.phpfile).
This site profile also includes a Uikit 3 PHP function library that simplifies some of the more verbose bits of markup you might need when using Uikit 3 with ProcessWire. For instance, creating a recursive navigation tree using uk-nav, generating a uk-navbar with dropdowns, rendering uk-pagination, or any number of other things. We find it helpful to have a few helper functions to avoid markup redundancy in multiple template files.
You'll see this library included with the site profile, even though it doesn't itself need to use all of the functions that are included.
Depending on your version of ProcessWire, you may already have this site profile included with the core, in which case you do not need to download it. If you find that you do not already have it, follow the instructions below:
-
To use this site profile, you must first have a copy of ProcessWire that has not yet gone through the installation process.
-
Copy the files from this repository into a
/site-regular/directory in your web root (or wherever ProcessWire’sinstall.phpfile is located). -
Open the URL where you've copied ProcessWire's files to in your web browser. The installer should start, and when it asks you what site profile you want to install, you should see this profile there. Select it and continue installation.
