| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Installing an Advanced Theme. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to install an advanced theme. |
| 00:11 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox Web browser. You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
| 00:26 | Adaptive theme and Omega are 2 amazing Theme frameworks. |
| 00:32 | Let's take a look at Adaptive theme. |
| 00:35 | Note that Adaptive theme is a Basic Theme. |
| 00:39 | You need to use a Sub-Theme for Adaptive Theme. |
| 00:42 | Let us install Adaptive Theme. |
| 00:46 | Depending on when you are watching this video, you might see Drupal 8 up here in green. |
| 00:52 | Take the Drupal 8 that's in the green and not in red. |
| 00:57 | Right-click on the tar.gz link. |
| 01:01 | Select Copy link option. |
| 01:04 | Let's come back to our website. |
| 01:06 | Click on Appearance and Install new theme. |
| 01:11 | Paste the link here and click on Install. |
| 01:15 | Now, we don't turn this one ON because Adaptive Theme is a Base Theme. |
| 01:21 | Let's now get a Sub-Theme "Pixture Reloaded". |
| 01:25 | Scroll down and locate the Drupal 8 version. |
| 01:29 | When you watch this tutorial, it will be up here in the green section. |
| 01:34 | Right-click on the tar.gz link and select Copy link. |
| 01:40 | Back to the site. |
| 01:42 | Click on Install new theme button. |
| 01:45 | Paste the link here and click on Install. |
| 01:50 | Now, click on Install newly added themes. |
| 01:55 | Scroll down. |
| 01:56 | We will find Adaptive Generator and Adaptive Sub-theme called Pixture Reloaded. |
| 02:03 | Click on Install and set as default. |
| 02:07 | Click on Settings. |
| 02:09 | There is a difference between a simple theme and a base theme with its own sub-theme. |
| 02:15 | There are settings for almost everything here. |
| 02:19 | We can change just about anything. |
| 02:22 | For instance, we can have Responsive menus, |
| 02:26 | Fonts from Google or Typekit, |
| 02:30 | Separate styles for Titles, |
| 02:32 | Image alignment, |
| 02:35 | Shortcode CSS Classes, |
| 02:38 | Mobile Blocks - which allow us to hide blocks on mobile devices. |
| 02:42 | Slideshows are supported. |
| 02:45 | Touch icons, Custom CSS, more Developer tools and Legacy browser settings for IE 6 to 8. |
| 02:55 | Please use these with caution. Don't enable them unless you need them. |
| 03:01 | Under Extensions, in the left panel, we have Responsive menus, Fonts, |
| 03:08 | Image Settings for-
ARTICLE BOOK PAGE EVENTS. |
| 03:13 | It recognizes all of those Content types. |
| 03:17 | Let me click on EVENTS. |
| 03:20 | This allows us to align our images in our Events Content type. |
| 03:25 | For instance, whether we want them always to be floated to the left or to the right. |
| 03:32 | Back to the left panel- Shortcodes and Markup Overrides. |
| 03:37 | There are more options here, below. |
| 03:40 | Click on LAYOUTS and then on PAGE (DEFAULT). |
| 03:44 | Now, click on WIDE option. |
| 03:47 | This allows us to set up all the layouts with the Block regions and
also to define the Media queries right here, inside the theme. |
| 03:56 | We will need some time to set this up properly. |
| 04:01 | Now, click on COLOR SCHEME. |
| 04:03 | There are many predefined color schemes. |
| 04:07 | But if you don't like the ones that come with it, then you can build your own color scheme. |
| 04:13 | Lastly, there are the normal Basic settings. |
| 04:17 | This is an amazing base theme and sub-theme for our Drupal site. |
| 04:23 | We have not really made any changes here. |
| 04:26 | But let's go and take a look at our Home page. |
| 04:30 | We see a brand new look and feel for our Home page. |
| 04:33 | We will need to go into Structure and check our Block layout. |
| 04:38 | We have used the Sub-Theme "Pixture Reloaded". |
| 04:42 | There are no Sidebar regions here. |
| 04:45 | Everything in Pixture Reloaded is just listed this way. |
| 04:50 | Maybe it was not the best choice for our demonstration. But you get the idea of how powerful it is. |
| 04:58 | We can just go in and set up all of those options using this advanced theming engine. |
| 05:04 | That's the theme framework – Adaptive theme and Pixture Reloaded. |
| 05:10 | You can play around with these to understand them thoroughly. |
| 05:15 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. |
| 05:17 | Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we have learnt to install an advanced theme. |
