FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package starter-theme
Starter theme for Timber
The "_s" for Timber: a simple theme that you can build from. The primary purpose of this theme is to provide a file structure rather than a framework for markup or styles. Configure your Sass, scripts, and task runners however you would like!
Installing the theme
Install this theme as you would any other, and be sure the Timber plugin is activated. But hey, let's break it down into some bullets:
- Make sure you have installed the plugin for the Timber Library (and Advanced Custom Fields - they play quite nicely together).
- Download the zip for this theme (or clone it) and move it to
wp-content/themesin your WordPress installation. - Rename the folder to something that makes sense for your website (generally no spaces and all lowercase). You could keep the name
timber-starter-themebut the point of a starter theme is to make it your own! - Activate the theme in Appearance > Themes.
- Do your thing! And read the docs.
What's here?
static/ is where you can keep your static front-end scripts, styles, or images. In other words, your Sass files, JS files, fonts, and SVGs would live here.
theme/ contains all of the PHP and other files needed by WordPress. When using the Timber Starter Theme as a parent theme, you need to include the theme directory in your child theme’s style.css docblock like so: Template: timber-starter-theme/theme
views/ contains all of your Twig templates. These pretty much correspond 1 to 1 with the PHP files that respond to the WordPress template hierarchy. At the end of each PHP template, you’ll notice a Timber::render() function whose first parameter is the Twig file where that data (or $context) will be used. Just an FYI.
tests/ ... basically don't worry about (or remove) these unless you know what they are and want to.
Remove wp-block-library stylesheet
Remove block-library/style.min.css
if your theme does not support the Block Editor aka. Gutenberg.
