New theme product based on NuPlone

[Kevin Harvey]

Hello Ploners,

I'm building a new theme product and it would make my life easier if I could base it on the existing NuPlone skin. Is this possible with the paster script? I've tried setting "skinbase" to "NuPlone" and "Enter empty_files" to "False", but I still wind up with empty CSS sheets in my new product skeleton. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Some general instructions for setting a base of NuPlone would be awesome. Thanks as always.

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

If you have some sort of find/replace you could duplicate the nuplone theme and search replace all occurencies of nuplone = nwplone (remember to rename the folders/filenames and not just the content.

Hi Kevin,

I know at one point there was a bug in the paster recipe where even if you
specified "false" to the empty scripts question, it would still add them to
your theme.

Just delete the empty files from your skins/styles directory, and that
should help. It also wouldn't hurt to get the latest ZopeSkel.

As far as setting a base of NuPlone, I haven't tried that, but it sounds
like you're somewhat on the right track...

Cheers,

- Veda

Here's where I am on this: I've created a new skin based on NuPlone
but with empty style sheets. Then I added this to the configure.zcml:

  <include package="NuPlone" />

And this to Extensions/install.py

 PRODUCT_DEPENDENCIES = ('NuPlone',)

This seems to force NuPlone to be installed when I install my new
theme product. Now I'm making changes (as overrides) only to browser/
main.css. Does that sound reasonable?

That sounds like it will probably work. The other option is to modify
NuPlone itself, but since you've already started on this path, you might as
well continue.
