OM Subthemer

A power tool that creates subthemes for all base themes. By default, it is using OM Base Theme (version 2) and it has also an option to make standalone themes.

This module demonstrates the power of PHP recursion when applied to custom layouting and automates processing of important classes, such as:

• Wrapper Level - styling by wrapper depth
• Row/Column - styling blocks vertically or horizontally
• Number of Rows/Columns - for applying width and height depending on the number rows and columns, ex. 1 column gets 100%, 2 columns get 50%, and so on
• First/Last - styling first div or last div differently
• Wrapper/Region - styling wrapper divs and region divs differently

Features

• Ability to create custom layouts and regions
• Creating regions and wrappers is as easy as dragging the elements
• Wrapper Element: an element, with other elements nested below it, becomes a wrapper
• Region Element: an element, without other elements nested below it, becomes a region
• Variable Element: an element is automatically identified as variable if its tag is using reserved Drupal page.tpl.php variables or Theme variables
• Customize Layout, unlimited regions
• Export/Import Layout - sharing your layout or getting other layouts is easy
• Layout and Skin - layout and skin/design are done separately.
• Base Themes - you can choose all base themes you like. (these base themes must be installed in your system, OM Suthemer is using OM Base Theme (version 2) by default), or you can choose none for no base theme.
• Preview Layout and Skin
• Generates Downloadable Subthemes - you can create your own site workshop of web templates
• Add your custom Skins (css and image files)
• Export/Import Settings

Workflow

1. Assign content type to use OM Subthemer
2. Each content type can have default base theme and skin
3. Click on the settings of each content type with OMS, these settings can be imported or exported
4. Creating a node from OMS content type will generate an automatic subtheme, which can be modified later on.
5. Choose Skin
6. Edit and save Layout, this will then generate regions
7. Regions will appear on OM Blocks tab, add some dummy blocks for regions to have content on preview
8. Preview subtheme, you may have to click on full screen and refresh your browser to see the updated preview
9. Download subtheme
10. Export to or Import Layout from other sites which are using OM Subthemer
