Using the Starter theme

• Copy the theme into the themes/ directory of your SilverStripe project. If you've named it correctly, there should be a directory called themes/[your-theme]/templates.
• Add the following to your app/config/theme.yml file.

SilverStripe\View\SSViewer:
 themes:
   - '$public'
   - '[your-theme]'
   - '$default'

• Update composer.json to fit your new theme name.
• Copy src/StarterPageExtension.php to app/src and make your page uses it

SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree:
 extensions:
   - StarterPageExtension

• Happy hacking!

Features

This theme is basically build around recommendations made in this article https://www.matuzo.at/blog/html-boilerplate/ which is a brilliant introduction for
a modern boilerplate.

It is bundled with bootstrap 5 but feel free to use whatever you like.

Favicon

Favicon needs to be set in /images folder. Use https://realfavicongenerator.net/ to create your icon. Please use a svg icon.
Provided icon has been made with https://www.blobmaker.app/.

Fonts

Please use https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts/ to create a local version of your google fonts or use your own.
Use only woff/woff2 fonts.

Fonts needs to be preloaded for best results, see StarterPageExtension::PreloadResources

Search form

By default, the search form works on all pages. But this leads to a lot of problems.
In general, I'd rather use a custom search controller to display results. This should be provided with $SearchControllerLink.

You can use https://github.com/lekoala/silverstripe-simple-search to enable this.

Misc

• SiteConfig.ThemeColor to be defined

Todo

• Find a way to support js modules properly with requirements backend
