UW Boundless Theme

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.

REQUIREMENTS

1. The Bootstrap 3.x base theme.
2. jQuery 1.10 minimum. Install the jQuery Update module to manage your jQuery version.
3. Your site's primary navigation uses a menu called "Main menu" (main_menu).
4. 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).

Recommendation:

For simplified navigation of the Management menu, install the Administration menu module.

DEVELOPMENT NOTES

• 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.
