Do you find Drupal's theming layer to be intimidating? Does PHP scare you? It doesn't have to be this way! Create your first theme in Drupal and learn how to make customizations and overrides using Drupal's theming best practices.

This event is going to be an half day training event on the morning of May 15th, 2014 in one of UMN's excellent active learning classrooms.

Agenda:

  • Discover the building blocks of a Drupal theme and how to override them.

  • Learn how to create responsive sub-themes with an exercise using the Zen theme.

  • Override markup, create custom regions, template (tpl.php) files, css, and scripts.

  • Watch a quick introduction to Compass & SASS and how it will save you headaches.

  • Leave with a theme that you can build into what you want.

Only local images are allowed.
