Zurbs website now directs people to download and install the compass extension foundation 3.2

Foundation 4.0 should be out in January and will be a big change, so that probably needs to be included in the roadmap.

Maybe we should create the versions 7.x-3.x for foundation 3.x and 7.x-4.x for foundation 4.

That would allow a foundation 7.x-2.x branch using foundation 2 to be created that would allow people that need IE6 support to use foundation.

Hi micheas,

Please keep up with what's being committed, see http://drupalcode.org/project/zurb-foundation.git/commit/bb29329. I don't plan to support legacy IE versions; Google Apps and Facebook don't so I'm not, even the Foundation 3 doesn't. A themer can downgrade the framework if they want legacy IE support in their sub theme.

Thanks,
Ishmael

I was more thinking about what to do about foundation 4.

The foundation 2 stuff was sort of a bonus of sorts, if anyone wanted to contribute the code.

I have run into many small issues going from foundation 3.0 -> 3.1 -> 3.2 So I am anticipating pain going from 3.2 -> 4.0

Especially as a lot of pixel math is going to be replaced with em math.

You make a good point, I guess I just don't want to deal with tons of versions or branches to maintain, that's why I have this dev branch. I guess let's wait and see what happens when 4.0 comes out and they we can decide what to do.

Since Foundation 4 should be coming out soon I'm changing this title and the focus of this issue to that. The current theme is up to date and running Foundation 3.2

What is the update process for foundation? Or is there an update process? Just copying files over?

micheas’s picture

micheas commented

I am in the middle of figuring out how to have two versions of foundation installed at the same time and reliably chose the correct version.

It doesn't look like there is a clean way to do an upgrade from 3.2 -> 4.0. Especially if you use orbit or offcanvas.

I would think that this depends Jquery update getting this issue fixed: http://drupal.org/node/1901672 (support jQuery 1.9)

And that issue is being blocked by adding support for a different version of jquery for admin themes. http://drupal.org/node/1766240 which is almost done.

Overall, I think delaying the upgrade until those two issues are resolved will reduce the amount of work by about 50% and the amount of documentation and support by even more.

I didn't flag it as postponed because both of the jquery_update issues are in the state of needing patches rerolled.

@micheas thanks for the suggestion. Only thing I'm waiting to see is I skimmed a post that was talking about Foundation dropping support for jQuery and using another library (Zepto.js) so that throws a wrench into implementing the theme. I guess I will have to see how that all plays out along with the jQuery update issues.

I'm almost done porting my theme to Foundation 4.0. I LOOOOOOVEEEE foundation 4! It wasn't hard for me to get zepto/jquery working properly. I even was able to get off-canvas working :). I'll post code when I'm done.

micheas commented

@ishmael-sanchez Foundation is not dropping support for jQuery, it is using zepto.js by default which does not support IE (any version) and loads jquery instead of zepto if the browser self identifies as IE.

zepto.js is a subset of jquery that the overlap is completely compatible.

@bensnyder do you have anypages that rely on ctools? I'm curious to know how compatible with drupal zepto is.

I had issues as well, I'm exciting for this but I'm wait for the dust to settle before I ripping parts of the theme a part.

Knarf31 commented

Before ripping parts of the theme apart, please lets consider to make a different version of this theme for Foundation 4.

I don't know how you think about it, but the fact that Foundation4 drops support for IE8 will become a big issue for me and my clients. (Because i'm not quite sure how to explain this to them)

According to browser statistics found across the web, IE8 is still in the top 5 of the most commonly used browserversions.

Is there a chance to have a Foundation 3.25 version of this theme along with a Foundation 4 version?

chrisjlee commented

@sweenyy

I was going to bring that up as well. I think at this point we should release what we have as an alpha release candidate. This version still needs some work; but it's very useable.

I like the idea of making zurb-foundation-4 a separate theme altogether — even a separate Drupal project. Then it would be possible to have foundation 3 and foundation 4 on the same multi-site install without disturbing any legacy sub themes. Just move all new development to zurb-foundation-4.

+1 for separate themes.

chrisjlee commented

I think different themes seem counterproductive in efforts and could cause some confusion.

I think we should just associate the 1.x branch release as the foundation 3. As alpha candidate.
Foundation 4 would live on a 2.x (rough dev) branch and we all know this is no different than how drupal core development is done.

On another note they've released a migration guide: http://foundation.zurb.com/migration.php

I completely agree with Chris about the 1.x and 2.x branch. I don't really like the idea of making different themes for this just my 2cents.

timani commented

I vote for keeping them as branches. Managing and tracking the project will be a lot easier if it is one place.

Would this apply in this case?:

summit commented

I think two branches is also the best solution with the remark that changes should be implemented in both branches, and not that branch 2.x would be the favourable one.
Thanks for bringing Foundation to drupal!
Greetings, Martijn

Great. I think we should start work soon and create seperate branches.

@bojhan Yes. I created separate branches to work from.

We have just started to clean up and upgrade the theme. I'm doing it in whatever free time or capacity i have.
