Quickstart

Create a virtual environment for your project and activate it:

$ virtualenv mysite-env
$ source mysite-env/bin/activate
(mysite-env)$

Next install Pinax:

(mysite-env)$ pip install Pinax

Once Pinax is installed use pinax-admin to create a project for your site

(mysite-env)$ pinax-admin setup_project mysite -b basic mysite

The example above will create a starter Django project in the mysite folder based on the Pinax basic project. Of course you can use any of the Pinax starter Projects. The basic project provides features such as account management, user profiles and notifications. The starter project also comes with a theme or a collection css, javascript files. The default theme is based on Twitter Bootstrap.

To use the Foundation theme in the project, include “pinax-theme-foundation” in requirements/project.txt. Either install the package individually.

pip install pinax-theme-foundation

Or use the requirements file:

pip install -r requirements/project.txt

Next edit the settings.py file and comment out the entry for “pinax_theme_bootstrap” and add “pinax_theme_foundation” in your INSTALLED APPS:

# theme
#"pinax_theme_bootstrap",
"pinax_theme_foundation",

Inside your project run:

(mysite-env)$ python manage.py syncdb
(mysite-env)$ python manage.py runserver

 {% block nav %}
             {% if user.is_authenticated %}
             <ul>{% spaceless %}
                     <li id="tab_profile"><a href="{% url profile_detail user.username %}">{% trans "Profile" %}</a></li>
                     <li id="tab_notices"><a href="{% url notification_notices %}">{% trans "Notices" %}{% if notice_unseen_count %} ({{ notice_unseen_count }}){% endif %}</a></li>
                     {% endspaceless %}
              </ul>
             {% endif %}
{% endblock %}

{% block nav %}
       {% if user.is_authenticated %}
               <li id="tab_profile"><a href="{% url profile_detail user.username %}">{% trans "Profile" %}</a></li>
               <li id="tab_notices"><a href="{% url notification_notices %}">{% trans "Notices" %}{% if notice_unseen_count %} ({{ notice_unseen_count }}){% endif %}</a></li>
       {% endif %}
 % endblock %}

Upgrading Previous Version

To upgrade you site start by upgrading to the latest version on pinax-theme-foundation

pip install -- upgrade pinax-theme-foundation

The big change between Foundation 2 to 3 is the grid. In Foundation 3 you no longer have to use .container to define the grid. In Foundation 2 the grid was built around .container > .row > .columns in Foundation 3 you now just have to use .row > .columns. In Foundation 3 padding and borders no longer increase the width of an element, they only go inward so for example in Foundation 3 .three.columns always has a width of 25% with a 15px padding on the left and right. You can find the Foundation 3 migration guide here Remove all max-width from css sytling
