Using it for a Child Theme errors

[chrisbarnes]

@GerritKuilder Can you provide a little more detail for this one?

[GerritKuilder]

If you try to set up a child theme with this theme you get a few errors:

require_once([...]\wordpress/wp-content/themes/bootstrapChild/admin/options-framework.php

See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_directory
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
a child theme has the advantage of making additional changes to a theme without the need to modify the original code.

Also the style.css of a child theme is used to pull in the theme css's and I think at the moment this does not happen.

I don't know how it will work in regards in pulling in lib stuff if they are also in a child theme.

I think it is best I make a separate wordpress setup for this and see how far I can get.

Looked at the latest download and had issues with the admin part:

changed code: in options-framework.php, the only way to get it to work.

if ( STYLESHEETPATH == TEMPLATEPATH ) {
define('OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_URL', TEMPLATEPATH . '/admin/');
define('OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_DIRECTORY', get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/admin/');
} else {
define('OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_URL', STYLESHEETPATH . '/admin/');
define('OPTIONS_FRAMEWORK_DIRECTORY', get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/admin/');
}
require_once (get_template_directory() . '/admin/options-framework.php');

Changed the header.php: lots of styles (css/js) where hardcoded to the template directory. For child themes this is not very convenient. Most styles use only wp_head function and add_action(wp_head,....).
Could not find the details..... but most likely doe some clever stuff to see if a child theme is used and/or files exist.

As the bootstrap.css set some backgrounds it would be convenient to be able to override all css/js etc in a child theme. (although a better solution would be to import them in child/style.css)

header.php:

Site: devel.kuilder.net/bootstrap

I've run into this too. For now I've worked around it like this:

• Created symlinks to the admin and library folders in the master theme in the child folder
• Changed this in Header.php:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>">
  
  

Then imported the master style sheet from inside my child theme's style.css.
This is all very hacky though, not a proper fix!

[chrisbarnes]

Please have a look at the latest commit and let me know how things work.

I've confirmed that it now works as a child theme, without the symlinks I created before. This is great as it now means I can just git pull in the master theme folder and not worry about breaking anything. Thanks for pushing the fix.
