This is an HTML5 starter theme for Drupal7. It's based on Less Framework CSS grid and Boron, being it one of the best HTML5 base theme for Drupal7.

Less Framework is a CSS grid system using Media Queries for Responsive Web Design.

You can see it live at the demo site for a more intuitive understanding of this theme and its golas.

It's made to be used as a framework, a starting point for building more complex themes without starting from scratch everytime.

It has not much styling, except enough CSS to arrange the page in a traditional "Header, Sidebars, Content, and Footer" composition in the default (10 columns) layout and to rearrange it for 8, 5 and 3 columns layouts. All this with Responsive Web Design and the Golden Ratio in mind, showing different block regions and the grid in the background. There is no JavaScript involved, at least for now, as it is meant to be a CSS centric theme.

See full description at the Less Framework sandbox project.

I just discovered that apart from our starter theme based on Boron, there is another sandbox project based on Less Framework here. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Now that I've talked to jover (the Fless theme developer) I think we'll work together to merge things and make it even better before making it a full project. Hope to make it possible during Eastern Holidays. Whoever has suggetions, advices, just tell us, we are here for the community

[Stock Response - Missing sandbox reference]

Each project application ticket needs a reference to the sandbox.

Please fix the reported issues. Don't forget to set status to needs review after committed to your sandbox project.

Sure vood002. You could join us and help us developing this theme if you wish. If you want to become a co-mantainer, just ask.
Otherwise you could help testing and reporting, giving feedback. Different points of view are always very valuable.

OK Clemens, I added a clearer reference to the sandbox in my first comment. I couldn't find how to modify the issue description.

You have to remove all of the MIT licensed code, i.e. the Less CSS files.
Just add really good documentation on how to get it.

* You also cannot include the LICENSE.txt file yourself, it will be included by drupal.org packaging itself.
* Also, be sure to replace tabs with 2 spaces, and remove trailing spaces.
* Remove the $Id$ lines, those are left over from CVS
* In your .info file, remove the package and version strings.
* Your README.txt should wrap at 80 characters per line.

Most of that is minor, but you cannot move forward until you remove the 3rd party code.
Once that is done, it shouldn't take too long after that.

Here I am, still alive

...sorry guys, it's been a while since I didn't login into my account here on Drupal. I'm focusing on different projects lately.

I'll try to clean it up following tim.plunkett's instructions as soon as possible.

Then yes, everyone who wants to improve this theme (and hopefully has more time than me to dedicate to it) is more than welcome to bring it forward.

Thank you all for your interest in this theme, this is making me re-evaluating things.

I hope wen can make it become a real drupal theme in a few days/weeks with your help.
Any additional advice is welcome.

MIT licensed code removed, documentation added as suggested for step by step installation, cleaned other minor issues. Let's see if this theme can finally make it to become a full project once and for all.

Waiting for review, thank you all for your help

even if these automated tools are not really good for themes, there are several issues that should be corrected anyway:

It appears you are working in the "master" branch in git. You should really be working in a version specific branch. The most direct documentation on this is Moving from a master branch to a version branch. For additional resources please see the documentation about release naming conventions and creating a branch in git.

Thank you very much patrickd for your very useful tips ...always learning something new here (althoguh I must admit I didn't have time to go through all the docs today ...same goes for the review bonus thing, I'll keep that in mind and try to help reviewing things in the future, but for now I have to postpone it).

  • .DS_Store removed - again! ...what an evil file!
  • Code style issues cleaned - no more "errors" found by the script it seems, which imo has very strict rules by the way...!
  • Master branch cleaned up and project moved to version specific branch (7.x-1.x) ...I hope It's OK like this...?

Thanks, best regards (couldn't make it without you guys, you're awesome!)

Still one issue ... that .DS_Store file is still hiding in your 'master' branch. ;)

Otherwise, the branch setup looks good, and I'm assuming that the code style issues have been cleaned up as stated.

Review of the 7.x-1.x branch:

This automated report was generated with PAReview.sh, your friendly project application review script. You can also use the online version to check your project. Get a review bonus and we will come back to your application sooner.

But that minor style issues should not block this application, so ...

Thanks for your contribution, farsaid! Welcome to the community of project contributors on drupal.org.

I've granted you the git vetted user role which will let you promote this to a full project and also create new projects as either sandbox or "full" projects depending on which you feel is best.

Thanks, also, for your patience with the review process. Anyone is welcome to participate in the review process. Please consider reviewing other projects that are pending review. I encourage you to learn more about that process and join the group of reviewers.

As you continue to work on your module, keep in mind: Commit messages - providing history and credit and Release naming conventions.

Thanks to the dedicated reviewer(s) as well.

You're right, both of you. I'll clean the code again and delete .DS_store files ...it seems that "sometimes they come back" lol.
I assume the PAReview.sh script was updated meanwhile. This can help (me) standardize the code style so I'll do my best to be fully compliant, removing all the minor issues as well before making this starter theme become a full project.

Thank you again, I'm proud to be part of this community and will try to help others as much as I can.

cheers!

.DS_store is a temporary file that is created automatically
I suggest you to create a .gitignore file containing the .gitignore itself and the .DS_store file, so git wont recognize them.
