Project notes for a forgetful mind

Project maintained by milesgwood Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgraham

To even start working with the templates, I need the template engine to tell me what templates are being used to display the page. I want to add a white bar to the top of the homepage with the name of the Unit on it. Turn on Twid Debugging in sites/default/services.yml Also turn on auto template reloading by setting auto_reload to true . Both of these changes need to be turned off in production as they destroy performance.

Overriding the Front page Template

What content do i want to add to the Braindead Designs homepage?

• Add a New Banding region to the theme
• Make a Top section for Site logo and search bar. Call it Branding
• Make a Slider section below the menu

What Styling do I want to add to the homepage?

• Bigger Menubar
• Better Colors #191919 yellow menu #e8e8e8 Headers #ffcc00 text #80c959 green highlight

Adding a New Region

1. Add a new region by adding to the THEMENAME.info.yml
2. Then add wherever you want the region to actually print out. I’ve added branding and slider but only to the front page.

Instead of learning Twig, I’m going to focus on styling because the Paragraphs module has handled much of the twig work. All I need to really do is cut and paste the code of the templates that Paragraphs provides.

I found out that I can mix SASS and SCSS. I just have to make sure the file watchers are running in phpStorm.
