Template sources
Most skins came from http://www.styleshout.com/, with the exception of the gh_default skin, which was created with GitHub's automatic page generator.
TBD
- Templatized skins
- gh_default
- sparrow
- keepitsimple
- Still need to be templatized
- pageone
- freshpick
- After templatizing a skin, remove its branch.
All skins, including the ones that have been templatized, have a large amount of boilerplate/lorem text that needs to be swapped out for real text.
Dump website with a different skin
Edit make.pl -- uncomment the $skin = 'SKIN_YOU_WANT'; and be sure the other $skin
assignments are commented. Then run make.pl. All current .html files will be replaced by
files using that skin.
Set up a new skin
- Name it.
- For consistency, go with one word, all lc
- mkdir tmpl/NAME
- mkdir skins/NAME
- Create or download your template from wherever. Put it into tmpl/NAME/
- Move all of the media (images, css, js, etc) into skins/NAME/
- You're usually going to be moving a whole directory.
mv images/ ../../skins/NAME/
mv css/ ../../skins/NAME/
etc
- Make sure the template-specific variables in make.pl include an 'inc'
key, which must be set to "skins/NAME/"
- No slash at the beginning, must have slash at the end.
- All links to media files within your new template set must link to
here. eg:
- <img src="skins/NAME/images/foo.jpg">
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="skins/NAME/css/default.css">
- <script src="skins/NAME/js/script.js"></script>
- Any image links in data ($vars in make.pl) should NOT include the
"skins/NAME/" prefix. Let the templates add those.
