Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
am about to start using the Lullabot Videola profile which has a Omega 6 sub-theme as its default
I asked Lullabot the question: should I sub-theme their sub-theme?
https://github.com/Lullabot/videola/issues/10
ideally I'd like to sub-theme the sub-theme - for upgrade purposes ...
any thoughts from the Omega community would be most welcome

niccolox CreditAttribution: niccolox commentedhave been told by a lullabot that sub-theming the sub-theme has been done before... will try that, but any pointers most welcome
Comment #2
niccolox CreditAttribution: niccolox commentedtried the textbook procedure for sub-theming a theme and got errors
http://omega.developmentgeeks.com/documentation/subthemes/creating-omega...
do the theme-settings.php and template.php need additional logic to chain sub-theme sub-themes?
in short, can Omega do this ? http://drupal.org/node/225125
Comment #3
niccolox CreditAttribution: niccolox commentedencountered errors, and logged on videola's github queue
I can see a simple, light-weight way to do it by adding extra style sheets that override the sub-theme
but making a full chained, sub-theme of a sub-theme of a base theme doesn't look easy to my dull eyes

himerus CreditAttribution: himerus commentedIn Drupal 6 version of Omega, if you properly create your subtheme(s) it will work... the code in the template.php and theme-settings.php all need to be adjusted accordingly with the appropriate name of the theme you are working with...
As long as that is in place, Omega works fine with sub-sub-sub-sub-themes

niccolox CreditAttribution: niccolox commentednot sure if this is relevant to omega
but found this example sub-sub-theme

patty.fresonke CreditAttribution: patty.fresonke commentedDoes anyone know if this type of sub-theming a sub-theme works properly in Drupal 7 version of Omega? (The one referred to here http://drupal.org/node/225125)

mattyohe CreditAttribution: mattyohe commentedOmega is no different. In fact, when you sub-theme Omega to make your own theme, you are in fact sub-theming a sub-theme! This is because Omega sub-themes alpha.
Unless there are any other questions here...
