Hey Guys,

I'm just trying to understand what the zen framework is. Is this something I can load with any template, bamboo or not? Or I create a template using it?


Still learning this stuff so sorry if the question is obvious and I don't know

Thanks!

Hey Frances,

You can treat Zen Grid like any other template. In the template parameters you will notice that you can create almost any layout with it that you may have previously seen or long desired. As far as template design goes, You can build on the framework of Zen Grid with your designs to build a template which is your own. Hope that shed some light on what it is. You're going to get many more people replying here as to how they see the Zen Grid and what they think it can do for them.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hey Jason,

Thanks for the clarity! So when you say build do I need to create style sheets for everything or just use the css in it to manipulate like a template?

I have been seeing these different frameworks base on the 960 Grid and wasn't sure what it was or how it was used. Still a lot to learn! Thanks again!

Frances

Hey Frances,

Yes, you can build on the existing stylesheets and add any design elements to it. As you can see it is quite a bare scaffold ready to be furnished.
The framework uses the 960 grid method to structure a layout.
Glad you're interested
Cheers,
Jason.

You can also check out the css in the blank theme - its got all of the classes available to style in that css style sheet - /style/blank/theme.css.

If you start to play around with the styles there you should get a feel for whats possible.

Thanks Anthony
