Henry Ford College Base Theme

The HFC Base theme (originally HFCCBase) is a starter theme originally derived from the Drupal 5 version Basic theme by Raincity Studios. Since that time, these two themes have diverged widely, as new features have been added to Basic, while this theme has gone its own way.

This theme is intended to be a base theme for multiple projects. Styles placed in this theme should not be opinionated, and should be applicable for most cases on any site. These global definitions can be overridden by site themes or for specific uses by using more precise selectors.

The HFC Base theme is starting point for Drupal theme work at Henry Ford College and for other sites I've built outside of HFC. The goal of this theme is to extend the stable9 them to provide just enough stable, reusable components to provide a starting point for new design work. Many of the changes provided by the current version of this theme were copied or derived from classy.

When creating a sub-theme, themers will generally want to copy some of the CSS files and overwrite them completely, adding new CSS files in the sub-theme to style the headers, footers and menus, etc.

6.x-1.x Branch

This branch is basically the Drupal 6 derivative of my original theme, and didn't have too many fundamental changes to its structure over the years. I have several production sites running with this theme as its base.

6.x-2.x Branch

This version was a major overhaul. I cleaned up a lot of cruft without worrying about supporting existing sites, and changed the templates over to a responsive, mobile-first layout using the Gridless HTML5 and CSS3 boilerplate.

7.x-1.x Branch

This is a straight port from the 6.x-2.x branch, but I ripped out a lot of stuff because much of what the old theme did is now provided by core. The biggest thing this is missing is the username formatting that was based on Drupal 6 core Profile module. Other than that, it's basically ready for use.

1.4.x Branch

The 1.4.x branch for Drupal ^10 || ^11 is being maintained as relevant changes are made to HFC's in-house base theme. This theme is built on stable9 and is intended to be a replacement option for classy.
