Say you want to modify news.

Go to this folder - https://github.com/PHPFusion/PHPFusion/tree/9.00/infusions/news/templates , copy everything.

Say your new theme is called "NewThemeV9". (just example).

Your theme looks like this:
/themes/ ---
- /NewThemeV9/
-- index.php
-- theme.php
-- news.php (Copy and Paste everything from https://github.com/PHPFusion/PHPFusion/tree/9.00/infusions/news/templates)
-- articles.php (Copy and Paste whole file from https://github.com/PHPFusion/PHPFusion/blob/9.00/infusions/articles/templates/articles.php
--- Repeat for Forum, Downloads, Blog, etc

Now in your theme.php file,

Code Download source


<?php
// File: NewThemev9/theme.php

include "news.php"; // your news design
include "articles.php"; // your articles design
include "forums.php"; // your forum design
include "blog.php"; // your blog design
include "gallery.php"; // your galery design
include "downloads.php"; // your download design
include "weblinks.php"; // your weblink design

function render_page($license = false) {
.... your theme design
}
?>

Go to each of your copied files, and edit them, but make sure you do not change the function name and it's parameter. What is inside, you can modify to your hearts content.

When PHPFusion 9 loads. The FIRST thing it register is your theme, and any function that is included in your theme. Only after that maincore is loaded, panels, users, etc. If your theme has these custom templates function already loaded in your theme, the default template that is attached together inside the infusion will not be used.

But if your theme do not have any of these function required v9 will automatically use the one that comes with the infusion for your theme. it has a function exist detector.

A small reminder.

We enforce a no support by Private Messages policy as a part of your expected behavior. The support you possibly can receive should be available to everyone and hopefully not repeated to many times. This makes the forums the only natural place for support.

I'm going to show how much PHPFusion 9 can do in the repository.

You need basic PHP knowledge and have basic experience in V7 theme.

Many have wondered if PHPFusion is bootstrapped, can it go Semantic or not? The answer is with Semantic Developers, not us, as we are only integrator. But in my guidance tutorial, I'll show how any framework works with PHPFusion 9. Also part of everyone's experience.

Ok, Semantic has 160 files. Lets do it. Copy everything inside dist folder and copy to our new theme folder.

Lets call it "Tutorial-With-Semantic".

Here, I committed the basic theme folder (exactly same as V7).

This is a git of a basic package that will work in both V7 and V9.

So inside render_page() function in theme.php file, I just go to Semantic Docs website, and view source, copy , paste , save, upload.

view-source:http://semantic-ui.com/examples/fixed.html

That's my first step. Because I am new to whole Semantic UI, and I don't understand a single thing yet, I will just copy a boilerplate and git.

When I activate my this theme, yep, I got it. Full Semantic UI Running on V9.

https://github.com/PHPFusion/PHPFusion/commit/7bfbbfb25ec9ff07c7e5a8886895e54e5ed04da8

I will change the site links later. Just follow this log for all steps in modification and learning process. I'll create an issue and attach.

This is the official log for this tutorial - https://github.com/PHPFusion/PHPFusion/issues/487

For all developers who wants to know what is Semantic UI, please head over to Semantic Website.

Any question, just ask here. When we reach the end of the tutorial, we will delete the theme.

I will not do anything further than this.

Please use this theme when you are asking questions. Make a request of how-to-do, and I will show and reply with the git commit.

Is there any actual PHP-Fusion 9 Theme Creation/Update Tutorials out there? This one simply isn't sufficient. An Infusion Development & Update Tutorial would also be FANTASTIC!
