We have tagged a new release of Open Framework, which is available from the downloads page.
Here's what's changed, and where we are heading from here:
What's changed in Open Framework since November 30th:
- Added a subtheme kit to Open Framework to make it easier to create subthemes
- New baked-in responsive support (using Bootstrap classes and js) for main menus using template.php instead of jQuery
- Regions updated to all use row-fluid instead of row
- New screenshot for theme in appearance admin page
- Updated Boostrap to version 2.2.2
- Added btn style to search forms
- Added Bootstrap behavior and styles to alert messages (now you can click to close!)
- Changed search box from embedded in theme to using default search form block and search box region (now you have to place this block in the search box region to enable)
What's coming up for Open Framework in January:
- BUG FIX: need to remove Bootstrap dropdown menu behavior from menu blocks (other than main menu)
- Complete style guide documentation (depends on whether we can get support for custom libraries on Sites.stanford.edu so that we can use Geshi filter to show code examples)
- Add documentation for how to use regions and blocks (best practices for site building)
- Demos for Stanford community and vendors
- Investigate jQuery implementation, either using jQuery Update module or ...?
Also, an update on what's new in Stanford Framework:
- New theme options to support the following:
- Stanford Identity Guidelines site title treatments for schools, departments, and admin units (includes options for first line and second line of site title, as well as style and placement)
- Show/hide logo on mobile
- New styles to support:
- Main menu with drop-downs
- Responsive main menu behavior
- Default block menu styles
- Revised Stanford brand bars including new identity marks, fonts, colors, and background gradient specifications
