We recently relaunched ItaloAmericano.org with a new theme based on Bootstrap. One of our goals was to minimize the need for additional modules and javascript packages, since Bootstrap comes with just about everything we need.

Custom base.php file with Roots Theme
Photo Credit I talk a lot about the Roots theme. It’s our favorite starter theme and comes with our favorite responsive framework. Roots come with its own theme wrapper which makes it a little difficult to understand for people new to WordPress. The base.php takes the place of the usual index.php file in a WordPress […]
Drupal Bootstrap theme does not support IE8 by default. IE8 does not understand HTML5-specific markup and CSS3 media queries. Without support for HTML5 and media queries, you will only see the “mobile” view when you load a Bootstrap theme in IE8. You’ll need to add support for these two features yourself. If you need to […]

A typical loop looks like this, taken from the twentyfourteen theme: if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() ); endwhile; else : get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘none’ […]

No additional CSS or markup required! /** * NAME: Bootstrap 3 Triple Nested Sub-Menus * This script will active Triple level multi drop-down menus in Bootstrap […]
Drupal Bootstrap replaces instances of input type=”submit” into buttons by default. This occasionally breaks other module functionality such as hierarchical select module. Rather than hack the bootstrap module we can declare our own theme_button() call in template.php which would override bootstrap’s bootstrap_button() modification. Enter this in your subtheme’s template.php file and update “YOURTHEME” to your […]
There may be some instances where you may not want your users to change their quantity on the cart page. An example may be where you want to limit an item to one per order. There are many ways to limit in the product’s node page, but the cart page presents a loophole where the […]
Ever have a situation where adding a class or ID to your HTML markup is difficult? This is a common occurrence when working with content management systems or modules/plugins where the code is generated for you.
