Releases for AdaptiveTheme

This is the first official release of AT7.

The 6.x-3.x branch is a transitional version to D7, where we'll try to back-port improvements from the D7 version and bridge the upgrade process, nothing too radical is going to happen though, we might start dropping some features.

Found an undefined variable in /template.theme-js.inc, so lets just fix this right away.

Hooray, I made it! Eight months of development and countless late nights hacking away and Adaptivetheme is finally released.

This stable version does not change much from RC1, although there are some notable subtractions and additions:

- search form overrides have been removed (conflicted with modules ability to use hook_form_alter)

- "user not verified" theme setting removed, was pretty useless anyway and didn't really do anything

- Added theme setting to modify the output of primary and secondary links as normal drupal menus - this was necessary to support the mobile themes (and the new Adaptivetheme Mobile subtheme)

- Added theme setting to add or remove .title & .title-[type] classes for block, node, comment headings.

I also did a lot of cleaning up:

- maintenance page cleanup - logo and site name HTML was wrong in RC1 and removed redundant DIV wrappers

- modded edit links, cleaner implementation

- wrapped everything in template.php with db_is_active() to stop errors in maintenance page when the db was down

- body classes got another overhaul, I started using the Context module and few others that added body classes and I needed to bring back the old explode method of 6.x-1.x and then add some tricky logic to strip out classes based on theme settings. Its not so pretty but it works and in D7 we can do this the right way

NOTE: Before Upgrading to this version you should disable the core Adaptivetheme (switch to Garland) and clear all caches or else you will get a WSOD.

This release is just a refinement of existing features, bug fixes and smoothing over the rough edges.

Main changes:

1. Simplification of the directory structure. The original structure was based on the old "hack the core" principal of the 6.x-1.x branch, with subthemes being the new paradigm in the 6.x-2.x series this deep directory structure no longer makes much sense.

Initial beta release of the 6.x-2.x branch.

This version of the theme is all about subtheming. Its includes two subthemes - a basic starter subtheme and the Admin theme (now abstracted into a proper subtheme).

There are many new features and the code base was 100% rewritten. The focus on accessibility and clean semantic code has been taken another step also.

Skinr features bit time in the new version as does Panels, both modules are required to leverage the many advanced features.

Due a bug introduced in 1.4 where the admin theme persisted when disabled on some pages there is a new release.

Also
- cleaned up some dev code for teh color settings which was left in last time around (my bad).
- made all stuff run for the admin theme conditional to the theme settings, should be slightly more efficient now
- added some margin to the main column area of the admin pages
- fixed missing RTL class for header blocks (admin theme only)

Apologies for this additional release; yesterday I made a mistake in CVS which resulted in dead files being included in the 6.x-1.2 release. I thought I had removed the files correctly but I did not remove them from the correct tag - which I assumed I could do...

So, not much has changed, a few minor tweaks to CSS, rock on.

And lets hope this release does not have dead files in it!

The daily snap-shot, normally stable but use at your own risk.

There are a few minor bug fixes in this, the first stable release, nothing major just a few CSS updates and fixing a few issues I introduced in earlier commits that were never released (were only in dev).

Good luck and lets here those bug reports, and now we start writing some documentation... yeah right ;)

RC6 ushers in a few significant changes and new features. The two biggest are support for RTL and a new layout system that aligns everything to a 16 column 960px grid, although this is for the most part still a conventional content source ordered layout (not a grids framework), although a grids-like framework is used for aligning blocks using the new Skinr classes

- RTL support in core theme, lots of work here to fully support RTL layouts (proper mirror effect) although to achieve this we pretty much abandon IE6 although it will work its not perfect.

- completely overhauled layout values - the default width is now 960px and everything is aligned to a 16 column 960px grid. Blocks can now be nested in sidebars and everything still holds to the grid.

- full support for Skinr module in nodes, blocks and modules - this time we include a full set of grids classes (16 column 60 px cols) that can be applied to blocks to align and nest them in regions and sidebars (and gpanels). You need to download and install http://drupal.org/project/skinr as of writing this page use the DEV version

- gpanels layout method modified to work with 960 grid concept, and now two layout values are included: a strait pixel based method for use with the default 960px layout and fluid grids for fluid or elastic layouts.

- edit link icons now included & title attributes

OK, thats it, I'm freezing it here for features - now we shift to maintainence mode/bug fixes only, at least one month and then maybe we can roll and official release.

NEW:

Clean separation of Core theme files and custom theme files, Please read the docs and if you are developing themes for us definitely read the docs - http://adaptivethemes.com/documentation/base-theme, a big upshot of that is the loss of modularization, but less stylesheets to load is a bonus, I think this should work well as it frees the themer to do it how you want.

Solved issues with path_to_theme so now all unsetting and setting of stylesheets for the admin theme are automagic UNLESS you add additional stylesheets for your theme, then you *should* unset them, see the docs.

Support for Skinr module - node (via preprocess), block (via preprocess), comment-wrapper.tpl.php and views-view.tpl.php the variable is in the template (views-view.tpl.php has been added and is in the templates/views directory).

Support for Blockclass module, all via preprocess and Blocktheme module also.

Compressed the dark and at-admin stylesheets and moved the uncompressed sheets to css/core/uncompressed.

Added attribution link to all page templates by default, easy to remove and should be for *our* themes.

New release with AT Admin!
