Flow Theme

General Information

Flow is a responsive theme for all OXID eShop editions from version 4.10 (Community Edition, Professional Edition) or 5.3 (Enterprise Edition) on. It will become the default theme from OXID eShop version 6 on, and will replace the Azure theme.

##Installation

Step 1: Select the appropriate branch

Currently there are two main branches for Flow:

Branch b-1.0 contains Flow for OXID eShop version 4.10/5.3
Branch master contain Flow for OXID eShop version 6.0 or higher

Step 2: Get the source code

Check out the appropriate branch for your OXID eShop version into the shop's Application/views directory:

cd DOCUMENT_ROOT/Application/views/
git clone -b BRANCH_NAME https://github.com/OXID-eSales/flow_theme.git flow

You should now have a new folder DOCUMENT_ROOT/Application/views/flow.

Step 3: Prepare the `out` folder

The out folder can be prepared in two possible ways. The first option is to use symbolic links, the second is to copy. Using a symbolic link is strongly recommended, as otherwise you would have do the copying everytime Flow is updated.

Option 1: Symbolic Linking

Link the theme's out directory to the out directory of the shop:

cd DOCUMENT_ROOT
ln -s ../Application/views/flow/out/flow out/flow

Option 2: Copying

Copy theme's out directory to shop:

cd DOCUMENT_ROOT
cp -r Application/views/flow/out/flow out/flow

You now should be able to do cd DOCUMENT_ROOT/out/flow.

Step 4: Prepare the database

In order to install the theme options, import the setup.sql into your database.

cd DOCUMENT_ROOT/Application/views/flow

mysql -u MYSQL_USER -p SHOP_DATABASE < setup.sql

Step 5: Activate theme

Log into the admin panel, go to Extensions → Themes → Flow and press the Activate button. Clean the cache and off you go, my friend!

Development

All Flow theme related CSS/Javascript files can be found in theme's build directory. To regenerate the theme's assets, the grunt tasks should be used. Please install grunt and run grunt's default task to regenerate all minimized css and js files:

To use grunt, npm is required. Check nodejs website for installation instructions (https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/). Example of Installation on ubuntu system:
```
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
```
Install grunt globally. Example:
```
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
```
Go to "flow" theme's directory and install all related grunt plugins:
```
cd DOCUMENT_ROOT/Application/views/flow/
sudo npm install
```
Now its possible to regenerate "flow" theme assets by running grunt default task while being in "flow" directory:
```
grunt
```
