Adapt Learning Community: Creating my own theme

Hey guys

Tons of great resources on modifying the vanilla theme, as well as renaming the vanilla theme and uploading to the Adapt Authoring Tool. (in bower.json)

Something I feel that is glossed over, however, is if you rename a theme, how to get the Framework (not the builder) to start using it.

I've been able to install other peoples themes using the command "adapt install (the theme)" but I cannot do this with one of my own homebrewed ones. Simply deleting the Vanilla theme and putting my theme in place doesnt seem to work.

Where in the Adapt SRC do we change a setting to point to the new theme, instead of the vanilla one?

thanks

Hi Rob

I'm by no means an expert in the theming aspect of Adapt, but usually such things are determined by bower.json (each plugin must have one of these)... so first I'd double-check that you have configured that properly.

Hi Rob - Please use the below grunt command.

grunt build --theme=adapt-new-theme --menu=adapt-new-menu

Hi Aniket

The --theme switch should only be necessary if you have multiple themes installed and therefore need to specify which one to use.

Hey Rob, I'm in the same boat. I've modified the Vanilla theme a few times, but would like to create a new-named theme, remove Vanilla (via the Adapt CLI) but then install a new locally-hosted, home-brewed theme just from my computer without it needing to be in a plugin registry.

Did you find a solution?

Can somebody confirm that a theme must be a registered plugin hosted on GitHub?
