    A General walkthrough?

    Posted 12 years 5 months ago
    • Hi all!

      My request is rather stupid but it seems that i cant find something related.

      I just want to find somewhere the "logic" behind rockettheme templates, which files i should edit and wher i should put them. I am rather confused with the .less files and all the logic behind it.

      I would appreciate if someone point to some direction where i could find out these things.

      Thanks.

    • This is how you create a custom LESS file...
      www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=66...74956&rb_v=viewtopic

      When we release upgrades template files will change and you will have to reapply all your changes again (that's if you can remember where they all are). If you keep your changes in a separate Custom LESS file you'll have no issues upgrading.

    • Thanks!

      when i mean logic i mean something like , where all the stuff is..

      For example i have been searching for the most correct way to "disable" the background on the template, and i was like searching all the files to see how and where it is referenced...

      Logic for me is the conceptual framework behind an idea...After i have this ia can head to gantry site and dig into the sources... 8)

    • Better way is to use Firebug for Firefox or Chrome developer tools to find css definition which you have to override and put that customization in custom less or css file. That way, when you upgrade your template, your customizations will be preserved 8)

    • You can replace it with another image or replace it with just a color

    • As I said, there is no standard location. It really depends on the template (usually). That is why I suggested you to use Firebug for Firefox or Chrome developer tools to find css definition which you have to override and put that customization in custom less or css file

    • Its clear.

      I thought that there were rather "strict" design guidelines that characterize *all* templates , thats why i as searching for logic e.t.c

      Thanks for your time.
