Theme Roller

Version 1.0.1 23 May 2016

Theme Roller creates CSS style sheets on the fly. Palettes for the chosen theme are created, as well as "all-color" palettes.

Components to make Theme Roller work: * themeRoller.class.php - the class file * sample.php - sample script to test functionality * sample2.php - sample script to test functionality * theme.php - the generated CSS style sheet (output as a CSS string) * themeStrings.php - like theme.php, but this file exposes certain variables that may come in handy in debugging * themeContent.php - the CSS directives go here; used by theme.php and themeStrings.php * readme.md - instructions

themeRoller.class.php

There are 2 static functions for use: * selectTheme() - checks $_SESSION['theme']['choice'] to get the desired theme code; if not found, the designated default code is returned. * themeOptionSelect() - returns a list of theme options to select from

Instantiate the Theme Roller object like this:

> $roller = new ThemeRoller($theme, 'Colour theme: {{theme-title}}');

where $theme is the theme code (can be obtained from selectTheme() or set specifically) and the second parameter is the title that will go in the CSS file.

Functions available:

• ->addSelector(selector, comment) * selector, like 'body', '.className', or '#idName' * comment (optional), selector comment
• ->addRule(rule, value) * rule, like 'color', or 'background-color' * value, like '#E8ECFF'
• ->getThemeDefValue(definition) * definition, like 'color', or 'background-color'
• ->generateCSS() * generates CSS, and palette files

themeContent.php

This file contains the rules to generate the CSS styles.

Debug functionality

Comprehensive debug functionality is built in. This is also useful for learning how the class works internally. Make sure the debug directory is writeable. Currently set to /data/debug/, you may change that to suit your needs.
