Overview

plonetheme.drupal is an installable Plone Theme using plone.app.theming, based on the default Sunburst Plone theme.

Strongly inspired by the Drupal theme Bartik (default theme in Drupal 7), this theme may help sell Plone to PHP guys ;)

To be installed before any demonstration to an audience of Drupal followers ;) !

Or, you can add it as a dependency on your own product setup.py:

    'plonetheme.drupal',
],

plonetheme.drupal's Issues

plonetheme.drupal does not work when copied & modified

I installed plonetheme.drupal V1.1 on a new Plone 4.3.2 site using buildout.
The system is running on a Debian 7 server. In the Diazo theme editor I
created a copy of the theme to be able to modify it. The modifications to the
theme.css file work fine when the site is running in foreground (debug) mode.
When I run the site in production mode, the css falls back to plone default.

When I look into the ZMI / portal_css, I notice that the modified theme.css is
marked as "resource not found or not accessible". This is also seen when
running in debug mode.

As a workaround suggested by Sylvain Boureliou, I created a css file in my portal_skins/custum directory and added an entry into portal_css. This works so far. For this approach I had to deactivate my modified theme in the theme editor and reactivate the original plonetheme.drupal.
