Blankly - the style guide for Build.r and Zen Grid Framework v5

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let you know that I have published the style guide for the Build.r template.

It's in it's own downloadable quickstart package called Blank.ly. You can see it on the demo site here:

demo.joomlabamboo.com/?theme=blankly

Blank.ly essentially covers the tools that sit underneath the Buildr template. So you can use them in your content and when developing your own templates.

We use it as a test bed to test new themes on and so I wanted to share it with you so you can use it as a guide for developing new sites.
Enjoy!

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the style guide (I was planning to ask about this).
Wanted to let you know that I don't think there's a link anywhere on the site for the online blank.ly demo, besides here (had to hunt for it) - not sure if this was your intention or not.

Cheers

On a side note, for this template and other build.r templates, I believe the menus get cut off if there are many menu items and you have a smaller screen/resolution with the sticky menu enabled (screenshot attached).
Using windows 10, latest firefox and resolution of 1024x768.

I'll check but I think a media query would be the way to adjust this

Hey Aadil - thanks and glad it's going to be helpful :)

I will be linking to it from the Buildr page - just haven't quite got around to it yet :) Hopefully today.

Re nav yeah thats a product of the sticky nav. The menu gets fixed so it overflows but you cant scroll past it. I suppose we could add a height media query to disable sticky nav based on screen height. Would have to be a media setting given that it's not going to apply to all cases. Ill add it to the list.

Hi,

Wanted to point out that a download link for Blankly still hasn't been put up - I'm unable to find the link as I need to download it again.

Hi Paul,

Thanks - thought it was in a blog post but didn't find it there. I'm sure I looked in that spot, under sownloads, but I guessed I missed it.

Regards,
Aadil
