Features

Responsive Web Design

Among the most interesting features integrated into Schools Theme you can find responsive web design that allows for easy viewing on mobile devices and tablets. If the device screen size is smaller than 5 inches the website will start to automatically resize and reposition the content to accommodate for the changes.

Customizable logo

Schools diazo theme comes with default Plone logo. You can replace it with your own as you would do it in default Plone: in ZMI customize portal_skins -> sunburst_images -> logo.png.

Configurable left/right column width

Site Setup -> Diazo Theme -> Advanced Settings. In 'Parameter expressions' textarea change the 'columnonewidth' or/and 'columntwowidth' parameters values respectively.

Improved thumbnail display view

To see the changes, in Display drop-down menu select Thumbnail view.

Top image

The theme allows you to replace header image for the whole site or site sections. To have new top image, add image with topimage shortname into desirable location on site. Default image size is 993*107px.

In case you upload higher image, it will not be completely displayed. To change it go to 'Site Setup' -> 'Diazo theme' panel -> and in 'Parameter expressions' textarea set the logo_min_height parameter value from 107 with a new header height.

Top portlet

Right top area is reserved for a portlet. The first portlet from right column is displayed there.

Theme Colors

You can change links colors: links_color, hover_links_color, and visited_links_color. For this, go to Site Setup -> Diazo Theme -> Advanced Settings. In 'Parameter expressions' textarea change the 'links_color' or/and 'hover_links_color' or/and 'visited_links_color' parameters values respectively.

Carousel Banner

Rotating banners can be added in case you install Products.Carousel add-on. Custom Carousel display style applies automatically to carousel banner.

To create a banner on the front page, go to the 'Carousel' tab in the task bar. Set carousel options and select 'Carousel Banner' from 'Add new...' dropdown menu. Upload image that will be used as one rotating banner, type its title and text (will be displayed under the image), and provide web address, image title will be linked to. Add as many carousel banners as you need.

Recommended image dimensions are 397*288px. There are 4 demo images that might be used as demo banners - see 'src' folder within theme package (quintagroup -> theme -> schools).

Editable Slogan

Schools Theme comes with customizable slogan. To change it, go to 'Site Setup' -> 'Diazo theme' settings, open 'Advanced settings' tab.

In 'Parameter expressions' field change 'Free Theme for Plone' slogan in slogan = string:Free Theme for Plone line.

If you need your slogan to be displayed in non-ASCII characters, go to 'Site Setup' -> 'Diazo theme' settings, open 'Advanced settings' tab. In 'Parameter expressions' change the following field

slogan = string:Free Theme for Plone

to

slogan = python:path('context/slogan|string:').decode('utf-8', 'ignore')

and in 'Site Setup' -> 'Zope Management Interface' settings -> 'Properties' tab add a new property 'slogan', type 'string', value 'your slogan' and save.
