Theme
A Maglev site is referenced by a
theme and a theme includes sections. You can't create a site without a theme.
The MIT version of Maglev comes with a single theme and it's not possible to add another theme.
To enable the multi-sites / multi-themes functionalities, you need the licensed version.
During the Maglev installation, a couple of files were added by our generators.
Rails app root
└── app
├── ...
├── controllers
├── ...
└── theme
├── sections
└── theme.yml
└── views
├── ...
└── theme
├── sections
└── layout.html.erb
The
theme.yml file describes the definition (name, description, ...etc) of the theme.Attribute name | Type | Description |
id | string | Identifier of the theme. You can it but with caution, especially if you've got pages including sections of the previous theme |
name | string | Name of the theme (displayed in the dev panel) |
description | string | Description of the theme (displayed in the dev panel) |
section_categories | array of hashes (id/name) | List of section categories. Required by the editor for the section picker. |
pages | array of hashes | Default pages generated when a site is created. Specifically useful by the PRO version of Maglev |
Quick example:
id: "theme"
name: "Default theme"
description: "The default Maglev theme"
section_categories:
- name: Heroes
id: heroes
- name: Calls to action
id: cta
- name: Carousels
id: carousels
pages:
- title: "Home page"
path: "/index"
The
layout.html.erb is being rendered by the Maglev CMS functionality. The minimal requirement is to have the following ERB code inside this file:
layout.html.erb
<main data-maglev-dropzone>
<%= raw render_maglev_sections site: @site, theme: @theme, page: @page, page_sections: @page_sections %>
</main>
This code is in charge of rendering the list of sections of a page.
