pressroom

a simple neat theme structured as a boilerplate for PressRoom

Starterr is built with the support of Node, Bower and Grunt.

Quick start

Starterr is meant to be used as a strating point to develop your own theme:

  1. Download
  2. Unzip
  3. Rename the unzipped folder and start customizing the config.xml file
  4. To edit the Starterr source files just open a terminal window at the root folder, and type:
npm i && bower i

Then just start watching:

grunt watch

Theme file structure:

While developing PressRoom themes you're not bound to a specific directory structure, the only strict requirement is to declare your layout files in config.xml

Here we decided to place all of our layout files inside a layout/ folder. We also opted to create a components/ folder to hold special fragments and a partial/ folder to hold fragment commonly shared between files. As said, this act just as an example.
