#Dropstrap

Drupal theme - subtheme of Bootstrap.

• Uses Bootswatch model to override variables etc
• Modified to use sass instead of less, with grunt and compass using recommendations by Deeson:

Forked from https://github.com/tombola/strapping

##Instructions for use

To use the theme as it is, install it and enable it as a normal drupal theme.

##Instructions for maintenance/alteration

This theme is built to use some compiled CSS and allow for some other maintenance easing activities using Grunt to run Compass/SASS to compile the CSS and grunt (and do some other things like script minification).

If you are not already using Runt, SASS or compass get yourself setup

Otherwise, just go to theme root and

sudo npm install

to install the grunt plugins, then

grunt watch

Now go ahead and fiddle with the sass/style.scss and sass/fx_brand/colours.scss to your heart's content (Style Guide to follow).

###Preparing for theme development

Instructions shamelessly stolen. Mac/Linux use assumed for sanity.

To use Grunt you will need node.js and ruby installed on your system. Open up terminal, and type:

node -v
ruby -v

If you don't see a version number, head to the links below to download and install them.

Don’t have node? Download it here

Don’t have ruby? Follow this great tutorial

Now, to install Grunt, open up terminal, and type:

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

This will install the command line interface for Grunt.

Now, to install SASS and Compass, open up terminal, and type:

sudo gem install sass 
sudo gem install compass

Some grunt plugins so grunt can talk to the other bits:

sudo npm install grunt-contrib-watch -save-dev
sudo npm install grunt-contrib-compass -save-dev 
sudo npm install grunt-contrib-sass -save-dev
