Feverfew

Code for quickly setting up a simple site. We have taken Sage and stripped it of everything related to WordPress. What we are left with is the excellent handling of assets.

We have also added some optional routing and templating functionality in an, for lack of a better name, "advanced" version.

##Advanced version The advanced version comes with the following features:

• Routing courtsey of Altorouter
• Templating using philo/laravel-blade
• All the above is installed using Composer

Installing advanced version

1. Download the latest version of Feverfew
2. Run composer install
3. Delete index.basic.php
4. Install Sage as described below.
5. Set up some routes in index.php and start coding!

Working with the advanced version

Place your views in blade-views. Read how to create routes at altorouter.com and how to work with the templates in the Readme of PhiloNL/Laravel-Blade.

##Basic version If you are only creating one simple page, this is probably a better option than the advanced one.

Installing basic version

1. Download the latest version of Feverfew
2. Delete blade-cache/, blade-views/, composer.json, composer.lock, index.php, and .htaccess
3. Rename index.basic.php to index.php
4. Install Sage as described below.
5. Start coding!

Working with the basic version

Start each page by requiring functions.php. Once you have done that, you can include an asset like so: <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo Roots\Sage\Assets\asset_path('styles/main.css'); ?>"> where the file name is one specified on assets/manifest.json.

Below is the content of the Readme of the verison of Sage currently used by Feverfew.

Requirements

Prerequisite	How to check	How to install
PHP >= 5.4.x	php -v	php.net
Node.js 0.12.x	node -v	nodejs.org

For more installation notes, refer to the Install gulp and Bower section in this document.

Features

• gulp build script that compiles both Sass and Less, checks for JavaScript errors, optimizes images, and concatenates and minifies files
• BrowserSync for keeping multiple browsers and devices synchronized while testing, along with injecting updated CSS and JS into your browser while you're developing
• Bower for front-end package management
• asset-builder for the JSON file based asset pipeline
• Sass Bootstrap
• Theme wrapper
• ARIA roles and microformats
• Posts use the hNews microformat
• Multilingual ready and over 30 available community translations

Install the Soil plugin to enable additional features:

• Cleaner output of wp_head and enqueued assets
• Cleaner HTML output of navigation menus
• Root relative URLs
• Nice search (/search/query/)
• Google CDN jQuery snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate
• Google Analytics snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate

Installation

Clone the git repo - git clone https://github.com/roots/sage.git and then rename the directory to the name of your theme or website.

If you don't use Bedrock, you'll need to add the following to your wp-config.php on your development installation:

define('WP_ENV', 'development');

Configuration

Edit lib/config.php to enable or disable theme features

Edit lib/init.php to setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars.

Theme development

Sage uses gulp as its build system and Bower to manage front-end packages.

Install gulp and Bower

Building the theme requires node.js. We recommend you update to the latest version of npm: npm install -g npm@latest.

From the command line:

1. Install gulp and Bower globally with npm install -g gulp bower
2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run npm install
3. Run bower install

You now have all the necessary dependencies to run the build process.

Available gulp commands

• gulp — Compile and optimize the files in your assets directory
• gulp watch — Compile assets when file changes are made
• gulp --production — Compile assets for production (no source maps).

Using BrowserSync

To use BrowserSync during gulp watch you need to update devUrl at the bottom of assets/manifest.json to reflect your local development hostname.

For example, if your local development URL is http://project-name.dev you would update the file to read:

...
  "config": {
    "devUrl": "http://project-name.dev"
  }
...

If your local development URL looks like http://localhost:8888/project-name/ you would update the file to read:

...
  "config": {
    "devUrl": "http://localhost:8888/project-name/"
  }
...
