A new demo theme for LocalGov Drupal
This month I gave myself one job to do: redesign the Scarfolk theme.
This month I wanted to work on something big and try get it complete. The task I took on was redesigning the LocalGov Scarfolk theme. I've always been a bit uneasy about it. I wrote that theme a number of years ago quite quickly so we'd have a theme for our demo site. I also deliberately used as little CSS and templates as possible, so we could show how much we could achieve without too much effort.
Now, 5 years later I think it's time for a re-fresh and to let it show off the capabilities of LocalGov Drupal more. Here's how the new design looks:
I worked on some smaller issues too, such as
- Streamlining the JavaScript for the equal-heights-blocks.js file
- A fix for tabledrag being difficult to use if LocalGov Base is your base theme
And I had fun patching into the LocalGov Drupal Dev Days contribution day to help first time contributors. Oh, and helped Holly from Colchester City Council to make her first contribution to Drupal.org.

I send an email once a week with something nice, something quirky, and something else that I think is interesting (all with a web development theme, of course).
