SilverStripe Foundation Theme
=============================

[](#silverstripe-foundation-theme)

Foundation 5 + Compass/Grunt, packaged up into a clean SilverStripe theme suitable for rapid prototyping or as a solid base for your own responsive theme.

Based on the [Foundation Compass Template](https://github.com/zurb/foundation-compass-template)and [Foundation libsass template](https://github.com/zurb/foundation-libsass-template).

Live Theme Demo

Working with the Theme
======================

[](#working-with-the-theme)

You can use the theme in two distinct ways.

1. **Manage the theme using Composer** and update using `composer update`. This method should be used if you are using the theme for prototyping and do not need to edit the theme files directly.
2. Use the theme as a starting point for your own custom theme. In this case, you're best off **installing with git and committing changes to your git repo**.

Composer Installation
=====================

[](#composer-installation)

`"require": { "rywa/silverstripe-foundation": "1.1.*" }`

Add `themes/foundation` to your `.gitignore`

Git Installation
================

[](#git-installation)

`cd themes`

`git clone git://github.com/ryanwachtl/silverstripe-foundation-theme.git foundation`

Enable Theme
============

[](#enable-theme)

```
SSViewer:
  theme: 'foundation'

```

in `/mysite/_config/config.yml`

Using Compass and Bower
=======================

[](#using-compass-and-bower)

If you're editing the Sass files, just run the following command:

```
compass watch
```

If you'd like to upgrade to a newer version of Foundation down the road just run:

```
bower update
```

Using Grunt &amp; Libsass (instead of Compass)
==============================================

[](#using-grunt--libsass-instead-of-compass)

Instead of using Compass, you can use Grunt and Libsass.

You need the npm packages set up, in order to do so do, cd into the theme directory and run:

```
npm install
```

Now, run:

```
grunt
```

Requirements
============

[](#requirements)

[SilverStripe](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework) 3.1.x

Optional
========

[](#optional)

- [Node.js](http://nodejs.org)
- [bower](http://bower.io): `npm install bower -g`

For using Compass:

- Ruby 1.9+
- [compass](http://compass-style.org/): `gem install compass`

Recommended
===========

[](#recommended)

While not required, you'll get the best experience with this theme by installing the `foundationforms` module below. The Foundation Forms module is also compatible with, and makes a great companion to, the [User Forms module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-userforms).

Use .ss templates with Interchange

The Gist linked below is a custom Editor Config that I use. It is a single line of buttons with Foundation specific styles.

About Foundation 5
==================

[](#about-foundation-5)

Foundation is the most advanced responsive front-end framework in the world. With Foundation you can quickly prototype and build sites or apps that work on any kind of device, with tons of included layout constructs (like a full responsive grid), elements and best practices.
