ABOUT SASS AND COMPASS
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
This directory includes Sass versions of Zen's CSS files. (If you are wondering
|
|
how these Sass files are organized, read the css/README.txt file.)
|
|
|
|
Sass is a language that is just normal CSS plus some extra features, like
|
|
variables, nested rules, math, mixins, etc. If your stylesheets are written in
|
|
Sass, helper applications can convert them to standard CSS so that you can
|
|
include the CSS in the normal ways with your theme.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Compass is a helper library for Sass. It includes libraries of shared mixins, a
|
|
package manager to add additional extension libraries, and an executable that
|
|
can easily convert Sass files into CSS.

DEVELOPING WITH SASS AND COMPASS
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To automatically generate the CSS versions of the scss while you are doing theme
|
|
development, you'll need to tell Compass to "watch" the sass directory so that
|
|
any time a .scss file is changed it will automatically place a generated CSS
|
|
file into your sub-theme's css directory:
|
|
|
|
compass watch <path to your sub-theme's directory>
|
|
|
|
If you are already in the root of your sub-theme's directory, you can simply
|
|
type: compass watch
|
|
|
|
While using generated CSS with Firebug, the line numbers it reports will be
|
|
wrong since it will be showing the generated CSS file's line numbers and not the
|
|
line numbers of the source Sass files. To correct this problem, you can install
|
|
the FireSass plug-in into Firefox and then edit your sub-theme's config.rb file
|
|
to set: firesass = true
|
|

|
|

|
MOVING YOUR CSS TO PRODUCTION
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you have finished your sub-theme development and are ready to move your CSS
|
|
files to your production server, you'll need to tell sass to update all your CSS
|
|
files and to compress them (to improve performance). Note: the Compass command
|
|
will only generate CSS for .scss files that have recently changed; in order to
|
|
force it to regenerate all the CSS files, you can use the Compass' clean command
|
|
to delete all the generated CSS files.
|
|
|
|
- Delete all CSS files by running: compass clean
|
|
- Edit the config.rb file in your theme's directory and uncomment this line by
|
|
deleting the "#" from the beginning:
|
|
#environment = :production
|
|
- Regenerate all the CSS files by running: compass compile
|
|
|
|
And don't forget to turn on Drupal's CSS aggregation. :-)
