Add/remove dummy content to show off the region set

And JohnAlbin has finished it. :-)

See Added sample content toggle to Bartik and Added list of links sample content for footer regions.

This qualifies as "fancy doo-dads that not every core theme will have." Please revert.

@webchick, should the version for this issue be changed to D8? And should it then be applied to all core themes? Or is it too fancy under any circumstances?

It's a real shame about bartik but webchick seemed pretty adamant. This is at least a reasonable feature request for D8 and hopefully someone will step up.

The problem with _all_ core themes to date is that they are all have left-center-right column layouts. So switching from the default theme and its block config to a new theme means you get to see all of the new themes regions.

The same is not true of Bartik. By design it has a unique set of regions that are completely empty and collapsed when you switch to it.

Here's the screenshot of Bartik with its regions filled with dummy content:

And here's the screenshot of Bartik with default blocks and no dummy text:

As you can see, Bartik with default blocks really looks… well… un-compelling would be a nice way to say it.

This qualifies as "fancy doo-dads that not every core theme will have."

I have no problem with writing patches to give all core themes this functionality. :-D

The sample content confused me. Of course I have insider expectations, so that in itself doesn't mean this is a bad idea. I do feel this conflicts with contextual links. With dummy content shown, we get some 'blocks' that are editable, some not. This is what confused me, and I also wondered where the content came from. Yes, that is explained in the actual dummy text, but no, people don't read :)

So I'm not a fan / agree with webchick.

If, *if* this stays:
- It should be off by default. Much nicer to discover this kind of feature instead of having to undo it. Too much in-your-face helpfullness. (I would rather have seen a default node added to the default instal profile but that's another issue)
- The dummy content for the slogan should be shorter.

This can be done by anyone. The original commits that need to be undone are:
http://github.com/JohnAlbin/Bartik/commit/19cb784585db47cb137cf7decb807c...
and
http://github.com/JohnAlbin/Bartik/commit/e68beea194b087c7dc8a990144c47f...

Just manually roll back the code, and create a new CVS patch.

This needs review+testing.

I didn't test it!

change status then :)

This patch failed. So I'm working on it again.

I made the changes and committed straight from my local. John Albin reviewed after and gave it his blessing.
