Hi,
It sure makes sense to use STK, for any new project you usually have
to have you own site and templates, using STK you take advantage of
STK features like the models in the templates/paragraphs, the
rendering...
The documentation is under way, i can explain quickly how the theme
works:
files:
in jar: /templating-kit/themes/<name> (subfolder imgs and css)
in Magnolia: Images: in the dms --> /templating-kit/themes/<name>/img
Css files: in the resources /templating-kit/thems/
<name>/css
custom theme: For this purpose we will create a new module (Copy
theme-pop structure or follow the steps in http://wiki.magnolia.info/display/WIKI/Module+QuickStart)
.
In the module descriptor META-INF/magnolia/nameoftheme.xml you must
define the theme version handler:
<
versionHandler
>info.magnolia.module.templatingkit.setup.ThemeVersionHandler</
versionHandler>
Note: your theme requires a config bootstrap file in order to get
bootstrapped correctly. It's important to use the following location
and filename within your module JAR for this file: /mgnl-bootstrap/
theme-<themeName>/config.modules.standard-templating-
kit.config.themes.<themeName>.xml (especially note the theme- prefix
for the folder name in mgnl-bootstrap).

Probably, I should ask things different way.
Does it make sense to use the standard templating kit if I have to
develop my own set of templates and site organisation?
Thx

Ok, I think my problem is that they can't be accessed from the
filesystem. I have checked in the stk configuration, it's right
there and I selceted the right Site Definition from the page info.
Thx, I think that it will help me investigate any further.
That would be great to get a tutorial from magnolia on "Create your
own theme from scratch"
Cheers

Yes,
I understand that but, is it just a matter of creating nodes?
well, yes, the resources is a different workspace, you need to
create the new nodes there although is not necessary, they can be
accessed from the file system. If your theme is not loaded could be
that is missing form the stk configuration, or you didnt select it
in the page info of the home page.
Waht's the difference between CSS and Processed CSS etc. ?
processed js and css means that you can use freemarker in this
files, also define model class and access the methods there from
inside css or js.
Anyway thx for the update

Hi,
The way we recommend to develop new themes is to create a new
module, inside the module descriptor you need to specify the
version handler:
<
versionHandler
>info.magnolia.module.templatingkit.setup.ThemeVersionHandler</
versionHandler>
The version handler calls InstallThemeTask that you could probalby
call directly from your version handler if you are not using a
separate module for the theme.

Hi Magnolians,
I'm about to develop my brand new theme from scratch to
understand the hassles of getting that working.
When I deploy my module magnolia doesn't install the css files as
resources despite that it is present in the bundle under path:
/templating-kit/themes/myTheme/css/mycss.css
I mean I can't see them in the Resources section of the
Templating Kit menu (Admin Central) and when rendering the page
they're not there.
Shall I do something specific to get them installed?
Thx in advance for help
Cheers
