New to Orchard in that I just started to play around with it in the past few days. My question is about customising a theme (in this instance the Bootstrap one that can be installed from the gallery)
I tried to have a look and see if there was a non-source code way of doing it but was unable to find this way of doing it so I went spelunking through the theme folder and edited the Layout.cshtml file myself. Is this 'wrong' or is there another 'supported' way of doing it?
What I specifically wanted to do was to have the logo to the left and the menu to the right (see here for the OOB behaviour) and this was the way that I achieved it.
I'm sure if there are any updates to this theme then the customisations will be overwritten hence the question about a supported way to achieve this.
What you may want to do is look up Derived themes, you should create a new theme based off the theme you're modifying, then you can just modify the parts you want, and if the original theme needs updates or w/e you can update it without overwritting all your changes. I'm pretty sure this is the way you should be doing it.
This page should describe how that is done
http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Customizing-the-default-theme
This is how themes are customized.

How to disable aui.css for custom pages in Liferay 7. Is it possible to do this somehow via portal-notmal.ftl
aui.css is coming in through the unstyled theme, which typically is the basis for every theme there is. That being said, you can override it and remove it this way. It's refined in the styled theme, and also in the classic theme (in the same github repo, you'll find it).
If you do so, note that you'll still have to deal with a lot of formatting on your own - the classes and other DOM elements will be generated, but it looks like aui now includes the Lexicon CSS that you'll have to simulate if you get rid of it. Why you'd want to do so, instead of accepting the defaults and overriding what you don't like, is beyond me.
Edit, answering to your comment:
You'd simply create your own theme (Linking to 7.1 here, see below) with any overrides that you'd like to have. There's not a single file with an option, as this configuration file would be too complex and unmanageable.
Also, you sound like you've just started building your site - my recommendation would be to always go with the latest release and use 7.1 (at this time) and note that 7.2 is around the corner, Beta 3 has just been released
I see that asciidoctor.org itself has a navigation (top) bar. I'm guessing that the website was written using asciidoctor source files. Either way, how do I add a navigation bar using asciidoctor?
Update
This is possibly the wrong question to ask. Perhaps the right way to go is to use awestruct, Middleman, or Jekyll. Advice/suggestions are welcome.
Yes, the source is asciidoctor, but the site is using awestruct for the structure around the content. If you're looking at doing the same kind of thing, we recommend using some other site generation tool for the structure around the content.
Of course if you really want to do this in asciidoctor, you could. You'd need to create your own theme and craft the header that way, but it isn't really recommended because it ties your output to a medium.
I have been looking at the new Bootstrap theme from Wiggleware, which goes well beyond any other Orchard Theme I have seen. There is quite a bit of code associated with this theme but I have not been able to figure out how this is compiled. There is no Themes\bin directory and no Themes.dll that I can find anywhere. So where does the code end up?
I ask because I need to do something similar but whenever I try to set up a theme the same way it only works under the debugger and won't deploy correctly (namespace name missing).
This is a stupid question that arises only because I didn't understand how Orchard Themes are laid out in VS. For the sake of anyone else making this mistake, please note that there are two types of Orchard theme:
'Ordinary' themes live under the 'Themes' Theme and so appear in the Solution Explorer under Themes/Themes. These themes do not have their own project and just share the 'Themes' project.
'Project' themes have their own project and in the Solution Explorer they appear as Themes/MyNewTheme. These themes compile just like a module.
Hope that helps
Okay, this could be a stupid question but I'm kind of new to this Drupal-stuff so I have to ask it anyway :)
I'm trying to implement the FBSS-module (FaceBook Style Status). It all works just fine. I was even able to change some colors and stuff in the CSS-file.
The thing is that I want to do some changes to the template, need to add and remove some stuff. I could hide stuff with CSS, but that sounds like a crappy solution.
I tried to edit:
/sites/all/modules/facebook_status/templates/facebook-status-item.tpl.php
But it has no effect what so ever. I tried to move it to my theme-folder. Same thing.
And yes, I've cleared the cache.
Update: Is there any way to find out if the module is actually using this template-file?
first, move it back to the module page - I bet this template is used by module.
secondly, if you change templates, it might require theme registry cache reset, so
go to /admin/build/themes.
You don't have to actually switch themes.
Do you have cache enabled? while developing, it's would be helpful to do 2 things:
1) disable cache
2) go to theme settings, and turn on "rebuild theme registry on every page load" or something that sounds like this.
and to be 100% sure, if you added new template you need to:
1) clear cache
2) go to admin/build/modules (that will rescan template files, etc)
3) go to admin/build/modules (that will rescan info about theme).
in the case of editing existing template, this also can help.
I've found, and I'm not sure if this solution would suit, that I apply a different theme and then re-apply my adjusted theme and all the changes propagate. No idea why but sometimes I don't see any changes until I do this.
Like I said, this may be isolated to myself, but it's worth a try to help you hit your deadline!
How do I go about changing the My Site and My Profile text on everyone's My Site within SharePoint 2007?
I can't seem to find anywhere where these are set in any of the master pages.
12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\SPSPERS\default.aspx is the page where you will be able to change it. But it is not recommanded to touch this file for editing. One of the best recommaned approach to achive what you want is defined here
To solve this problem rather than create my own My Site Host as was suggested on another forum I used jQuery to find the tabs and change their name on the fly. Not the greatest fix but it works flawlessly
