Quick Start Guide

stevec · November 2009

Just finished going through the quickstart guide (http://vanillaforums.org/page/AppQuickStart) and the Hello World page works, but without the default Vanilla styling.

I read through the View documentation, and my understanding is that without anything specific in my_app/design, it would use the default theme from garden. Is that understanding incorrect?

One possible solution that I haven't tried yet. I looked in the garden/themes folder, and the default theme doesn't actually have any /design folder under it which the README.txt in the skeleton/design folder implies that it would need.

I'm wondering about this myself. Would love more details on how to make this work! :)

Note that all documentation is in progress (most of docs were written a months ago, outdated)

To add default style, your WelcomeController should looks like:

class WelcomeController extends Gdn_Controller{
	
	public function Initialize(){
		if($this->DeliveryType() == DELIVERY_TYPE_ALL){
			$this->Head = new HeadModule($this);
			$this->Head->AddScript('js/library/jquery.js');
			$this->Head->AddScript('js/library/jquery.livequery.js');
			$this->Head->AddScript('js/library/jquery.menu.js');
			$this->Head->AddScript('js/global.js');
		}
		$this->AddCssFile('menu.css');
		$this->AddCssFile('garden.css');
		
		parent::Initialize();
	}
	// See applications\garden\controllers\appcontroller.php
}

@S Thanks for the helpful response! This is working well for me.

Can you tell me how a person gets permissions to update the documentation? I would be happy to add this info (and correct a few other small errors in that Quick Start), but I'm not finding any details on how to contribute.

@bookchiq - I can give you permission!

Howdy, Stranger!
