Singlebrook Drupal Bootstrap

The Singlebrook Drupal Bootstrap is a starting point for new Drupal projects. Highlights include:

• A base structure ready for deployment to Acquia
• Some handy bash scripts for project initialization, rebuilding and seamless integration with theming tools like Sass and LiveReload
• A ready-to-go profile and theme with standard project conveniences
• A custom Dev module that wraps useful dev tools like devel, diff and field_ui

New Project Setup

You can read more about the bash scripts in the readme of the bin folder. Typical setup is as follows:

1. Download the zipped version of the project
2. Configure your vhost, if necessary
3. Create your db
4. Create a sites/default/settings.php file or run installer up to the "Configure site" pane.
5. Run $ bin/init from the project root and answer questions

Your responses to the questions in the init script will set up the site for the new client and replace a bunch of placholder variables in the profile and theme. It will also rename this readme and create a new, blank readme and initialize the new git repo, before running a drush site-install. The Drupal username post-install is 'admin' and the password is 'testing'.

Theming with Guard and Livereload

This project is configured with guard to watch for changes to the scss and js files and compile them. There is a an executable script in the bin folder which starts both the guardfile and the livereload server.

Requirements

• Ruby
• Bundler
• run $ bundle install once from the project root to download guard and livereload utilities

To start theming, run $ bin/themify from the project root and edited Sass and js files will automagically reload in the browser. To stop the guard and livereload processes, hit ^c (control + c).

Local Development to SB Drupal Bootstrap

It is not advised to run the init script if you're updating the bootstrap itself. Instead, run the project with the sb_client profile and sb_template theme. Themify will work out of the box, and simplify updates to the bootstrap.
