This Bootstrap 3.x sub-theme replicates the WordPress theme developed by UW Marketing & Communications.
Maintaining this theme is currently a volunteer effort provided by the UW Drupal Community. We do our best to keep the theme up to date with the UMAC version.
Questions? Contact the maintainers at drupal-theme@uw.edu.
- The Bootstrap 3.x base theme.
- jQuery 1.10 minimum. Install the jQuery Update module to manage your jQuery version.
- Your site's primary navigation uses a menu called "Main menu" (main_menu).
- Drupal core Search module. (If you use a different search module, you may need to customize the styles, either with a sub-theme or JS injector + CSS injector).
For simplified navigation of the Management menu, install the Administration menu module.
- The UW Boundless theme uses local bootstrap source files using the LESS Starterkit.
- The style sheet (css/style.css) is compiled using LESS CSS preprocessor.
- Scripts are not compiled and merely declared in the uw_boundless.info file.
