Unable to edit theme in dugway #94

Closed jbigelow1 closed 10 years ago

jbigelow1 commented 10 years ago

I'm trying to bring my current theme down to dugway so I can make some changes to the website. I was able to create a new theme using dugway but I'd like to make the changes from the current theme that I have set up. I downloaded and unzipped my theme from Big Cartel and just plugged the html and CSS files into the source folder but that didn't work. Is there something else that has to be done? How do I work on my current design offline while being able to view it using dugway?

Sorry this went neglected for so long @jbigelow1.

At the moment the theme zip file download from Big Cartel is not the same as the format that dugway uses (as you've noticed). For the most part dugway just has a few additional files and the approach you took could work. I suspect the problem is the base theme. For instance, say your theme was customized from sexy as a starting point I'd suggest cloning the sexy repo (https://github.com/bigcartel-themes/sexy) then doing as you did previously by copying the files from the BC theme download over the top of the files in sexy's source folder. If that doesn't work let me know what specific issues you're having and I'll try to help out further.
