This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
FIX: Disallow renaming of system badges
FIX: Disallow renaming/deleting of system badge groupings
UX: Use "modern" button style in badge groupings dialog
Note this commit leaves out the biggest occurrence of the editor
which is the post/topic composer.
To avoid major breakage, this replaces it everywhere else it was
used:
* User preferences (About Me)
* Admin Customizations > Text Content
* Category Templates
* Editing Queued Posts
A future commit will replace the main composer with this editor
and will remove the unused pagedown code.
- Move "New Category" and "Reorder Categories" into a dropdown
- Always show "New Topic" on categories page, even for admins
- Make category reorder modal full-height (.full-height-modal)
- Move category reorder stylesheet out of admin stylesheet
