Just testing with WonderCMS

[Luuk]

I was looking for a SimpleCMS, and did find WonderCMS, which looked good enough to give it a start....

After looking at some Themes, I decided to have "Sky", but wanted a small change, so I followed next steps

• 1. copy "wondercms\themes\Sky" to "wondercms\themes\MySky"
  2. Changed "wondercms\themes\MySky\wcms-modules.json to:

  Code: Select all

  {
      "version": 1,
      "themes": {
          "MySky": {
              "name": "MySky",
              "repo": "https://github.com/robiso/sky/tree/master",
              "zip": "https://github.com/robiso/sky/archive/master.zip",
              "summary": "Default WonderCMS theme (2022). Theme works without Bootstrap and jQuery. (with local changes)",
              "version": "3.2.4",
              "image": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robiso/sky/master/preview.jpg"
          }
      }
  }
  

After this I logged on, clicked on Settings/Themes, but did not find "MySky".

What did I miss?

If you're just making changes for your own site, rather than intending to develop a new theme to be shared with other users, I'd just alter the theme.php and style.css files as required - and, of course, ignore any prompts to update the theme if they appear.

If you do want to make your theme truly independent of the original Sky theme then I would follow all the steps in the Theme tutorial.

(Regret haven't made time to check the changes in your json file.)

Hello Luuk,

what NorfolkGreg said is a good advice.

If you want to activate your custom theme MySky, open data/database.js and under first entry "config", change:
"theme": "Sky" to "theme": "MySky"

I will go, for now, to change te files in the themes\sky folder, and hopefully I do not forget I manually changed something in `theme.php` when I press UPDATE some time in the future .....
