Hi,

First, thank you for Boron. I have a side project and I am experimenting with HTML5 and Drupal 7 and using Boron makes this possible.

I notice a few common UI elements are missing from Boron. I am creating this post more as a way to see what your plans are for this theme than to say, "Hey this is broken." But, well, hey this is broken:

  • I do not see a way to disable breadcrumbs through the Theme's UI. At this stage I guess one would have to edit their page.tpl.php and remove if ($breadcrumb): print $breadcrumb?

    When I set The Navigation Block Title to in the Block Administration panel (at admin/structure/block/manage/system/navigation/configure), it still appears as "Main menu". In fact, I cannot seem to change it at all.

    • I hope these notes help you make Boron the preeminent HTML5 theme.

    Thanks for the suggestions - they sound good, and I'll see if I can get them into the next update.

    Alrighty, I was able to do half of what you wanted.

    1) breadcrumbs. You're absolutely right, there's no way to disable breadcrumbs in core without editing template files. Technically, this is in violation of my "change as little as possible" philosophy, but this feels like a clear oversight by the core team to me, and it's included in Zen, so I've added it here. You'll find the option on the theme settings page for Boron.

    2) Renaming Main Menu. I think we've got a bit of a misunderstanding here. You can absolutely rename the Main Menu block, and it should display just fine. There's nothing in Boron that would prevent that. What's probably confusing you, though, is that Boron also includes the Main (and secondary) menu by default, with a hard-coded title of "Main Menu." This is exactly the same as core, but I can see how it's confusing. To get around it, just uncheck the Main Menu and Secondary Menu options on the Boron theme settings page, and then the hard coded ones will disappear, and you can place your block (with its custom title) anywhere you want.

    Hi spaceninja,

    I saw the link to your blog post on Twitter and figured it was in response to this.

    I actually solved #2 by just creating a new menu and using that as my primary navigation. I wonder if there is anything "wrong" with this under HTML5. I mean, I wonder if it is supposed to be strictly called Main Menu.

    For the first issue, I pulled the breadcrumbs code out of my page.tpl,php as I suggested. But the check box solution is very nice.

    By the way, I am inspired to do this whole D7 + HTML5 experiment thanks to you and your presentation at DrupalCamp LA. It really got me thinking about the best way to integrate video and make it iPad/iPhone accessible. I have experimented with the MediaFront module a bit. And now I am looking at integrating the VideoJS solution from http://videojs.com into my pages.

    Right now it is not really tied into the CMS, but (if you are not on Internet Explorer) you can see the video at:

    Have you guys at Metal Toad integrated video into Boron or any of your D7/HTML5 sites? What approach are you using?
