How To: Making a Custom NodeBB Theme

divi

@pichalite sadly nodeBB v0.6.x version didn't support grunt
below is my message.

`grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.13)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

I am thinking of creating a new theme for myself as I need a bit specific design to match the rest of my website.
But a lot of the links from above don't work Does anyone have any tips how to get into NodeBB theming at this point?

Ive checked out the quickstart theming repo but it seems quite empty and I'm confused. I would expect to see some template files and less/sass files I could modify.

Thanks for any guidance

btw. I am checking this forum after few months and it looks even more awesome than before. Did not think it could be possible

Any updated docs for creating a theme from scratch?

Nodebb is using Bootstrap 3.x and less now right? Will there be an update to Bootstrap 4.x and scss soon?

I would like to build a theme where I can create webpages from the Adm. like this one for Wordpress.

I would search at the official documentation: https://docs.nodebb.org/development/themes/

In regards to the support of Bootstrap 4 and/or SCSS, I wouldn't expect anything too soon. See also this issue on Github: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/5874#issuecomment-380469427

@Fiiily Ah yes... you'll probably just want to fork this repo instead: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-quickstart
