This package contains diazo implementations of plonetheme.classic and plonetheme.sunburst, to be used with theme base "(unstyled)". It also has a theme to responsify plonetheme.sunburst through diazo, to be used with theme base "Sunburst theme".
Any of the three theme folders can be used to create your own child theme, based on diazoframework.plone. You can either wrap the theme up in a package or you can create a zip file of the folder and upload that to the theme panel.
There are two ways of creating a child theme.
For this example, lets assume we are creating a package called diazotheme.newtheme and we will copy the 'responsive' theme in this package.
-
Created the diazotheme.newtheme package (for instance through paster).
-
Copy diazotheme.plone/diazotheme/plone/responsive to diazotheme.newtheme/diazotheme/newtheme/responsive.
-
Rename diazotheme.newtheme/diazotheme/newtheme/responsive to diazotheme.newtheme/diazotheme/newtheme/static (arbitrary name).
-
Add
<plone:static directory="static" name="newtheme" type="theme"/>to diazotheme.newtheme/diazotheme/newtheme/configure.zcml. -
Change diazotheme.newtheme/diazotheme/newtheme/static/manifest.cfg to reflect the changes, so:
[theme] title = New theme description = Describe the new theme rules = /++theme++newtheme/rules.xml prefix = /++theme++newtheme doctype = <!DOCTYPE html> preview = preview.png
Again, lets assume we use the 'responsive' theme and we want to end up with the 'newtheme' name.
-
Copy diazotheme.plone/diazotheme/plone/responsive to your file system.
-
Rename 'responsive' to 'newtheme' (the folder name wil become the theme name in the theme panel)
-
Change newtheme/manifest.cfg to reflect the changes, so:
[theme] title = New theme description = Describe the new theme rules = /++theme++newtheme/rules.xml prefix = /++theme++newtheme doctype = <!DOCTYPE html> preview = preview.png -
Customize your theme.
-
When you are finished customizing, create a zip archive of the 'newtheme' folder.
-
Upload the newtheme.zip in the plone theme panel.
