Front-end Development - Setting Up Foundation Access Theme:

  1. Install dependencies
  2. Git
  3. Node
  4. Npm
  5. SASS
  6. Grunt
  7. Bower
  8. git clone --recursive https://github.com/elmsln/elmsln-developer.git elmsln
  9. cd elmsln/system
  10. git pull origin master (or 1.x.x or whatever branch you want)
  11. cd core/dslmcode/shared/drupal-7.x/themes/elmsln_contrib/foundation_access/legacy
  12. npm install
  13. bower install
  14. grunt
  15. Work from Foundation Access theme directory in SublimeText
  16. SFTP grunt-compiled theme CSS, icons, or [template].tpl.php files into vagrant to make changes
  17. To make template changes to a sub-theme, you must also sftp the desired sub-theme's .tpl files into vagrant

Note: to work on the templates of the various sub-themes, navigate to elmsln/core/dslmcode/profiles/... As of now, due to the Zurb Foundation breakpoints mixins being compiled in Foundation Access, all theme CSS is handled in the Foundation Access theme, and templates (IE - page.tpl.php) are modified in the individual service sub-themes. Compiling SASS in a sub-theme and uploading the CSS would double the amount of CSS loaded for each theme and would override Foundation Access styles back to stock Zurb Foundation. Perhaps a better workflow can be figured out to distribute the css in a more efficient manner.

Service / Authority sub theming

For a starting point Sub-theme to work from, see core/dslmcode/profiles/ulmus-7.x-1.x/themes/SUB_foundation_access. Rename all SUB in the files to whatever the service name is. OR, if you are sub-theming a service's sub-theme then you can name this to whatever make sense for your group. Just make sure that the SUB_foundation_access.info file is updated to reflect it being a sub-theme of a sub-theme.
