Favicons folder by default

Posted by Torsten Fabricius posts: 1529 ☆ ☆ ☆

Hello Bernard, Gary, Brendan (and all),

I am not sure, if I find it makes sense to have a themes folder, but to
put custom themes to another folder _custom.

For years we had to spread themes related files to various places and to
now have it at one place is just awesome.

For a new theme designer we need only to tell:

"go to the tikiroot to the folder themes, create or copy a theme
'themes/mythemename', put themespecific css to the css subfolder, js to
the js subfolder, templates to the templates subfolder" etcetera.

From my point of view the current setup is awesome and self-explaining
to a high extent. We should not lose that simple logic.

on the other hand I find it a good plan to collect all
non-theme-specific custom files in a central folder custom or _custom.

My 2 cent.

Torsten

Hello,

…
I agree with you Torsten that the actual setup is great but this is a kind of another discussion.
If someone want to talk about this please open a create a thread.


I don't suggest changing anything about the setup or the way Tiki work.
Actually we have a feature that work using "themes/themeName/favicons"

Unlike the folder fonts or icons this folder has to be created manually.

My proposal is to create this with an index.php file by default.
Used or not it won't change the existing just avoiding an exception.

Bernard
