Plone Themes with plone.app.theming and Diazo Approach

Quintagroup uses different approaches to developing themes for Plone sites. We have been actively using standard Plone approach to theming/skinning for several years and produced many custom Plone filesystem themes in the past.

After diazo approach introduction to the Plone theming world we have started producing our themes using plone.app.theming. Our quintagroup.com website itself uses plone.app.theming (former collective.xdv) as a base for its theme. Quintagroup supports diazo approach to Plone theming and offers custom diazo themes development on the basis of plone.app.theming package. We take any website design PSD files and create XHTML/CSS template on its basis. Then we write diazo rules that map this look into a ready-to-use Plone theme.

Plone diazo Themes

Currently Quintagroup is producing diazo themes for Plone (based on plone.app.theming) as well as classic Plone themes.

Subsite Theming

What is meant by Subsite Theming is the ability to apply a different theme (colors, fonts, logos, navigation, portlets etc.) to a section of a Plone site. Subsite theming might be useful for projects that want to have one site containing several subsites rather than having many sites. This enables easy sharing of material between subsites, e.g. when several projects share one set of people and events, it would be easier to have them all on one website, but each one has its own subsite designed differently, with certain logo and navigation.

Plone Themes on Subsites

For those who can't use different Plone sites (even on the same instance) because they need to be able to do some operation that only a single Plone site can do - subsite theming can be a good solution. Not only does subsite theming allow for easy information sharing, but it also potentially allows users to have access to new site sections (other subsites).

If you want to have a number of subsites within a Plone instance, each subsite looking and acting like an independent portal, having some design customizations (colors, logo, banner, css) - Plone Subsite Theming is right for you.

Subsite Theming Project Examples

Quintagroup has done several projects over the years with subsite themes. Here are some bright examples: Baker Institute.

James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy website contains two subsites: The Americas Project and Energy Forum.

These are examples of Baker Institute programs, but in contrast to all other programs being pages with several reference fields (key people, program description, associated publications, and associated events), these two are developed as independent subsites. They have their own designs, different from the root Baker Institute's, possess their own navigation, and contain a number of documents and subfolders.

Example: DIS Denmark. DIS Denmark website includes several subsites: DIS-Sydfyn, DIS-Faxe, DIS-Helsingør, DIS-Odense, and more.

Subsite support on DIS Denmark website was enabled with the help of collective.lineage package that allows site’s subfolders to behave as autonomous Plone sites. The package was extended with the ability to set color scheme and add logo for each subsite.
