Braces Custom Base Theme Generator
Sinatra app that runs wp-braces.com
How the theme building takes place
- Users fill out form fields and submit form
- Takes the braces theme and copies it to a temp directory
- Does a string replace with the fields the user fills out
- Zips the temp folder
- Deletes the temp folder and zip file
- Returns the zipped theme folder for the user to download
Working on the site
All of the logic lies in app.rb
