Converting frontend themes using HTML5/CSS framework/s [was Re: Converting frontend themes to Twitter Bootstrap]

2013-05-10 Thread Jacques Le Roux
frontend themes to Twitter Bootstrap here is a new branch for that. Actually the thread subject was misleading since we agreed that Twitter Bootstrap is not the only solution. The idea is though to introduce and use a HTML5/CSS framework, Bootstrap, H5Boilerplate and Zurb Foundation will be tried

I agree in principle with this reply. Very few shops use the OFBiz eCommerce front-end - it wasn't intended to be used as-is, instead its there for demonstration purposes. Each business will have a preference for styling their site, so choosing one theme over all others seems presumptuous.

Hi Adrian, Thanks a lot for your input. I agree with you that OFBiz is not an eCommerce platform and also that the current themes are there for demonstration but that doesn't change the fact that it needs a complete rework. So what I'm referring to is more about to adapt all of the ftls and

I see your point. Maybe you are right, probably there's no need to use an external framework. I proposed to use Bootstrap because that will make the task much easier. I'm not against the idea of creating a new styling and such on our own, but that will require much more effort imo. Also I don't
