Starter development template for building Zurb Foundation 6 themed October CMS sites.

Includes:

• Latest Foundation Sites 6 source from official repository
• Latest FontAwesome Icons
• Motion UI
• Yarn and Gulp build system for development and production

Add the theme to existing project while logged into OctoberCMS account online, or interactively by searching it inside Settings/System/Updates/Themes in backend, or with the following command-line instructions inside project root:

php artisan theme:install zietbukuel.oktober-foundation
php artisan theme:use oktober-foundation

To be able to use Font Awesome we need to make a small change in our .htaccess file.

Look for:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/themes/.*/(assets|resources)/.*

And change it to:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/themes/.*/(assets|resources|node_modules)/.*

As you can see, we just added "node_modules" after "resources". This should allow us to access any asset inside the "node_modules" folder.

Install NodeJS and Node Package Manager globally. Run the following command-line instructions inside theme root:

npm install -g gulp yarn
yarn install

Custom styles should be in src/scss/style.scss, scripts in src/js/theme.js. Development changes can be automated with command-line instruction inside theme root:

yarn run watch

Build optimized, minified, auto-prefixed assets with command-line instruction inside theme root:

yarn run build -- --production

• yarn run build [-- --production] - Compiles the SCSS and Javascript source code.
• yarn run build-styles [-- --production] - Compiles the SCSS source code.
• yarn run build-scripts [-- --production] - Compiles the Javascript source code.
• yarn run clean - Removes everything inside assets/.
• yarn run watch - Monitors changes inside src/*.

Global Foundation styling parameters should be modified in src/scss/_settings.scss Comment out unwanted styles and scripts for leaner and faster Foundation custom build: src/scss/_foundation6.scss src/js/foundation.js
