Open Framework - update

The Open Framework theme is now in maintenance mode

Joseph G Knox — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 20:19:44 +0000

Since its inception in 2012, The Open Framework Drupal theme has helped power a large number of websites, both internal and external to Stanford. We are all very proud of the work that has gone into the project, and look forward to continuing to watch the growth of website's using the theme.

Now nearly five years into its life, we have decided to place the Open Framework theme in maintenance mode and will no longer be making any enhancements. There are no plans to create a Drupal 8 version of Open Framework.

Version 7.x-2.04 Release of Open Framework

Megan Erin Miller — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:05:49 +0000

We have tagged our first official stable release of Open Framework (7.x-2.04), which will be rolled out to Stanford Sites and the Collaboration Tools Installer on April 9th, 2013.

What's changed since February 4th:

Resolved jQuery conflict
Resolved menu drop-down behavior issue (where it was applying to all menus)
Upgraded to Bootstrap 2.3.1
Created Admin Shortcuts region for logged in users
CSS/template optimization
Added defaults for theme settings
IE testing and fixes
Responsive block behavior and style adjustments
Updated search box styles
Added print styles
Accessibility review and fixes
New logo/screenshot
Revised subtheme kit

And more. See the full commit history online.

Our upcoming release cycle:

We are now working on a quarterly release cycle for Open Framework and the family of Stanford-branded subthemes built on OFW.
Our next release to the Stanford community will be sometime mid-late June.
In the meantime, will be incorporating patches, doing updates to the theme based on the issue queue for Version 2 milestone on Github.

We hope in the coming month(s) to work on releasing Open Framework as a project on Drupal.org. The main thing we need to figure out in order to do this is remove the licensing conflict from including Twitter Bootstrap. We may instead have to not bundle Twitter Bootstrap with the theme, and have uses download it elsewhere.

We continue to welcome your feedback, contributions, patches, and support on Github.

Theme Update February 4. 2013

Megan Erin Miller — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:00:48 +0000

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 December 21, 2012:

Added default drop-down and nested menu behaviors to top navigation and sidebar menus:
- For top nav: Drop-down menus are on click, not hover. Use "show as expanded" checkbox on menu link settings to enable menu flyout behavior.
- For sidebar menus: Force menu to show sublinks by checking the "show as expanded" checkbox on the menu link settings. By default, nested links are shown when you are in that section of the site.
Added Font Awesome icon font
Moved secondary menu links to new region at top of page as additional "help" links area. This only appears when you are logged in.

What's coming up for Open Framework in February/March:

Remove jQuery reference in .info file
- You will need to use the jQuery Update module (7.x-2.x-dev) in order to support the responsive menu drawer behavior in Open Framework and other jQuery-dependent Bootstrap behaviors.
Patch under review to move style includes from .info file to the theme settings options
- This will allow users to enable or disable styles through the theme settings UI instead of having to override the .info in their subtheme
IE testing
Optimization
Full conversion to HTML5

What's coming up for Stanford Framework in February/March:

Fix for SUNet login link positioning [DONE]
Fix for retina display of Stanford logos
Print styles
Image spriting
IE testing
Accessibility review

We have tagged a new release of Open Framework, which is available from the downloads page.

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:
