Questions from Designers

 

Q: How do I access the HTML and CSS for my Theme?

A: Please follow the steps below

  • Starting on the black, left side panel, click 'Themes' (or the paintbrush icon).
  • Under the 'Preview and Customize' button is a text link - "Advanced HTML Editor" - click this text link
  • On the left you will see a list of files that contain the HTML, Twig, and CSS instructions for your layout. Click the one you want to affect and make your edits.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is no history for these files. Changes you make are permanent. It is a good idea to save a copy of the original - just in case. 

 

Q: How do I add a style block such as for full justified paragraph text?

A: In general, full justification is not best practice, so we did not include a button for this in our tool bar. If there is a specific need, you can put this in your style sheet to create a block style that will allow you to apply that style to text. To add a style to the editor:

1. Edit Global.less, and in the .su_bootstrap_safe container, add: 

.justify {

   text-align: justify;

   display: block;

}

2. Edit theme.conf and find the "editor" section. Replace with:

"editor": {

     "styles": [

       "button",

       "justify"

     ]

},

 

Q: How do I remove the current page listing from Breadcrumbs/History on each page?

A: In the global.less file (see accessing CSS instructions above), paste the following code at the bottom of the file.

.[breadcrumbs class]:last {

   display: none;

}

 

Q: Are there any additional help documents for designers to customize a theme?

A: Yes! We have produced two documents that will be geeky and yet helpful to a designer who wants to play in the Advanced HTML editor of themes.

1) SimpleUpdates 2017 Variables List

2) SimpleUpdates 2017 System Layouts

3) The SimpleUpdates Twig documentation
