Ilmenite Framework

The Ilmenite Framework is a custom theme starter framework for WordPress made by Bernskiold Media used as a base for all our themes. The framework is meant to be customized and turned into a fully customized template, removing all references to "Ilmenite Framework".

All functions that extend WordPress are organized neatly in the includes/ directory through subfolders and the theme set up using a base class in includes/class-theme.php.

The framework is currently made to be used with Foundation 6 (CSS Framework) and as such out of the box includes our customization of our workflow based on Foundation 6 by Zurb, however this can be easily changed.

Getting Started

To get started with this starter theme, follow this checklist to turn it into your own:

1. Update style.css with your own information.
2. Update package.json with your own information.
3. Update bower.json with your own information.
4. Replace THEMETEXTDOMAIN across the theme with your own textdomain.
5. Replace the namespace BernskioldMedia\ClientName\Theme with your own namespace across the whole theme.
6. Replace the theme class and init function Ilmenite with your own theme name.
7. Initialize node via npm install
8. Run Gulp using gulp watch
9. Open the main.js file under assets/js/src/main.js and save it to generate the minified JS files.
10. Open the main.scss file in assets/scss/main.scss.

And that's it. You're ready to work!
