Fulton Schools Divi Theme

A child theme for WordPress in use by various publications from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.

The theme has several enhancements that make it specific to the Fulton Schools of Engineering. It has been made public in the hopes that other organizations within ASU will benefit from the work as WordPress adoption on campus continues to increase.

Requirements

The parent theme for the FSDT is the excellent Divi Theme from Elegant Themes. If you intend to use the theme to build your own WordPress site, a separate license for the Divi Theme is necessary.

Please also note that this repository contains a child theme and not a stand-alone theme designed for use with The Divi Builder plugin also from Elegant Themes.

Enhancements

Version 1.9.0 (Iago)

This version of the FSDT begins with a refactoring of the global ASU Header and Footer elements to conform more closely with the code choices made in the ASU Divi theme. This is also an official recognition of ASU Divi as an eventual replacement for this product. A sunset plan is forthcoming.

• Refactored CSS and included styles to directly call ASU header and footer elements from the original UTO repository.
• Removed unused global header and footer elements within the theme's assets folder.
• Footer elements updated to include the 2019 Innovation badge.

"When devils will the blackest sins put on / They do suggest at first with heavenly shows" -- Iago, Othello (1503-1504)

Version 1.9.1

• Updates the ASU Header and Footer elements to the latest versions (v4.8)

Version 1.8 (Balthasar)

Two new widgets for the super-footer were created with this release to accommodate the new Fulton Schools of Engineering logo and more closely conform to ASU Brand Guide standards.

• The new ASU Engineering Footer Widget automatically includes the new FSE endorsed logo, complete with link to the Engineering home page. No need to add it to the media library.
• The new ASU Social Media Icons Footer Widget centralizes the location of all URL entries for social media channels to one widget.

This release also depreciates two older widgets from an older FSDT release. See wp-admin/admin.php?page=asu_social_media_editor and wp-admin/admin.php?page=asu_social_media_editor within your install for more details.

Further improvements also include:

• Proper handling/styling of linked images and external links.
• Improvements to the Divi Portfolio module to align the filter bar and other module elements to ASU Brand Standards.

Version 1.6 (Costard)

Version 1.6 focused on the proper implementation of ASU Global Header and Footer assets. All assets are included with the the theme, and we continue to watch the ASU Web Standards page (and eventual repo) for changes and apply them as needed.

Much credit given to the (Global Institute of Sustainability)[https://github.com/gios-asu] and the associated authors of the ASU Web Standards WordPress Theme, from which most of the code for this release was borrowed.
