Scaffold

Scaffold provides integration between Drupal and the CSS Scaffold library by Anthony Short.

This module lets themers use the Scaffold framework to write their theme's CSS. Scaffold is a modern CSS framework in the spirit of LESS and SASS based on PHP that allows use of mixins, constants, functions, and grids.

Features

• Constants / variables can be set through the UI to easily customize the theme.
• Compatible with base themes.
• API to add Scaffold stylesheets through a function : scaffold_add_css().
• Ability to add Scaffold stylesheets from the .info file of the theme.
• Ability to call Scaffold files through an URL.
• Compatible with the libraries module.
• Displays parsing errors.
• Works with Drupal aggregation.
• Hooks to provide custom extensions (2.x branch).

Branches

• 1.x : Use with the legacy version located at http://github.com/sunny/csscaffold.
• 2.x : Use with the ongoing rewrite located at http://github.com/anthonyshort/Scaffold.

Installation

• Download and extract Scaffold from location matching your branch (see above).
• 1.x : Use the "scaffold" subfolder.
• 2.x : Rename the extracted folder as "scaffold".
• If you have the libraries module installed, put the "scaffold" folder in sites/all/libraries, otherwise put it directly in the scaffold module folder. Be aware that the Scaffold repository location is likely to change.
• Install & enable the module.

Usage

• To add a Scaffold stylesheet to your theme, just add your stylesheets to the .info file as below :
  

  scaffold[all][] = style.css
  scaffold[print][] = print.css
  

• To add a Scaffold stylesheet from code, use the provided scaffold_add_css() function :
  

  scaffold_add_css($path, $type, $media, $preprocess);
  

• You can also call a Scaffold stylesheet from an url (useful for IE conditional stylesheets) :
  

  <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="'. base_path() .'scaffold/'. path_to_theme() .'/ie-fix.css" />
  

Developers

Additional hooks are provided to add configurable constants / variables and, for the 2.x branch, custom extensions. See the README.txt file for more information on these hooks.
