Porting a theme to RedWord

Thanks to the WordPress Theme API not much work is to be usually done for porting a Redmine theme to RedWord.

RedWord customization

The RedWord theme does its best to make any Redmine theme run smoothly under WordPress. Yet still the RedWord theme considers the peculiarity of WordPress and preserves many specific features like usage of the <article> HTML tag. So, compatibility issues are still possible while, on practice, I did not see many of them for a usual Redmine theme.

Anyway, a Redmine theme can be easily customized especially for WordPress. And such customization won’t effect the theme, when it is used under Redmine!

To implement this the RedWord theme supports the special redword.css file, which is loaded only into WordPress. This file must be put into the stylesheets directory of the theme.

For examples check:

Recommendations

  • It’s a good idea to slightly modify something in the theme especially for WordPress (throw redword.css) to let users know, that they are using the different system. Thus in Red-Andy I modified the background color of the heading (click the Blog link to see it in action).
