what version of vanilla 2.1 do you run?

zar3x

Hi.
I wonder what version do you guys use when you tesymting vanilla 2.1? and what version is the most stable one of 2.1?

peregrine

I am testing on 2.1a33. I figure you might as well use the latest.

I am using 2.1a26 on my local machine for making a new theme. Its stable for me uptil now

@peregrine, well I'm using 2.1a33 to bec I think it is the latest one and it should be the best one :P

Kasper

As always, I use the latest version for everything I do. For theme devs who are tired of the new asset handler, this is a great workaround:

public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
    if ($Sender->MasterView == '' || $Sender->MasterView == 'default') {
        $Sender->AddCssFile("your-stylesheet.css");
    }
}

@kasperisager Where do I add this code?

Kasper

Your theme hooks (class.themehooks.php)

@kasperisager I don't know if I'm blind, but when i looked, the only files that I can see is either (class.theme.php) or (class.hooks.php)

@zar3x
I bleive kasper was saying....
you create your own file themehooksfile in your theme folder.

with the code he suggested.

class.yourthemethemehooks.php

class.themehooks.php

The version is less important than the branch. Use 'master' for stability. Sometimes, like right now, not even the dev team is running the 'develop' branch on live sites because it's super unstable. If it's in master, we (mostly) trust it for our servers, anyway.

Also... if you put a design/custom.css file in your theme it will get auto-included...

...and concatenated with the rest of the stylesheets - I like this feature, but it quickly becomes annoying when you have to delete the cache files every time you make changes to your stylesheets. What I therefore personally do when developing themes locally, is add the stylesheets directly using the method I described earlier :-)

@kasperisager Set 'DebugAssets' = TRUE in your config to stop the new asset handler from running while you're theming.

Kasper

Awesomesauce, thanks!

Many thanks @Lincoln because it seems bugged at this point, in my case (2.1a33)
