What this talk is all about
- planning the frontend
- Drupal base themes
- Drupal frontend from scratch
- BITV in Drupal
- Tipps for frontend development
- Advanced: backbone.js
Client says:
“The website should work on all tablets and smartphones, be pixel perfect with that PSD-Layout, fully functional on all web browsers, SEO optimized and BITV2.0 compliant. And editing text and images should be a piece of cake. By the way, IE7 is a must. ”Yes, it's hard.
You do not have to be afraid ;)
Plan the frontend
Know the requirements: Browsers, Platforms, Devices, Requirements (BITV?) According to this: Choose your tools carefully!
With Drupal the first question is:
Base theme or from scratch?
What is a base theme?
What is a grid system?
Base theme (list of)
How to set up a base theme
Base theme or from scratch?
When to use a base theme
- base theme if you are working close with the designer - if the designer had a grid systems in mind while designing - a base theme can be very fast, for example form-elements are really hard to adapt to all devices / platforms - if you want to develop fast and you are not bound to a layout - if you do not have a layout and have to make up one
When to start from scratch
- if the layout is already done and does not fit into a grid system - if the layout does look completly different from any grid system - IE 7 support is needed
Vertical Slides
Slides can be nested inside of other slides, try pressing down.
Basement Level 1
Press down or up to navigate.
Basement Level 2
Cornify
Basement Level 3
That's it, time to go back up.
Slides
Not a coder? No problem. There's a fully-featured visual editor for authoring these, try it out at http://slid.es.
Point of View
Press ESC to enter the slide overview.
Hold down alt and click on any element to zoom in on it using zoom.js. Alt + click anywhere to zoom back out.
Works in Mobile Safari
Try it out! You can swipe through the slides and pinch your way to the overview.

Transition Styles
You can select from different transitions, like: Cube - Page - Concave - Zoom - Linear - Fade - None - Default
Themes
Reveal.js comes with a few themes built in: Default - Sky - Beige - Simple - Serif - Night Moon - Simple - Solarized
* Theme demos are loaded after the presentation which leads to flicker. In production you should load your theme in the <head> using a <link>.
Global State
Set data-state="something" on a slide and "something" will be added as a class to the document element when the slide is open. This lets you apply broader style changes, like switching the background.
Custom Events
Additionally custom events can be triggered on a per slide basis by binding to the data-state name.
Reveal.addEventListener( 'customevent', function() {
console.log( '"customevent" has fired' );
} );
Slide Backgrounds
Set data-background="#007777" on a slide to change the full page background to the given color. All CSS color formats are supported.
Image Backgrounds
<section data-background="image.png">
Repeated Image Backgrounds
<section data-background="image.png" data-background-repeat="repeat" data-background-size="100px">
Background Transitions
Pass reveal.js the backgroundTransition: 'slide' config argument to make backgrounds slide rather than fade.
Background Transition Override
You can override background transitions per slide by using data-background-transition="slide".
Clever Quotes
These guys come in two forms, inline: “The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from” and block:
“For years there has been a theory that millions of monkeys typing at random on millions of typewriters would reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. The Internet has proven this theory to be untrue.”Pretty Code
function linkify( selector ) {
if( supports3DTransforms ) {
var nodes = document.querySelectorAll( selector );
for( var i = 0, len = nodes.length; i < len; i++ ) {
var node = nodes[i];
if( !node.className ) {
node.className += ' roll';
}
}
}
}
