That gives me some confidence in going forward with this project. I'll take a look at the screencast.</p> <p>LAM </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/skills-needed-to-modify-theme#post-668 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:56:32 +0000 DaveLester 668@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Hi Lincoln,</p> <p>We've designed the theme API to require minimal knowledge of PHP in order to design your Omeka site. So if you're comfortable opening up a WordPress theme and hacking away at CSS, you'll feel comfortable working with an Omeka theme. We currently have 10 themes available to download (http://omeka.org/download/themes/), and I'd suggest working off one of these pre-built themes to get started.</p> <p>To learn more about the structure of a theme and how to edit one, we've released a screencast (http://omeka.org/codex/Theme_File_Structure) that you'll find helpful.</p> <p>Best,<br /> Dave </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/skills-needed-to-modify-theme#post-666 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:44:33 +0000 lmullen 666@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>I may be developing a website powered by Omeka, for which I would need to customize one of the existing Omeka themes. How difficult is it to customize a theme? </p> <p>For example, I'm comfortable modifying a Wordpress theme. Modifying the CSS for an Omeka theme seems doable to me. But would customizing an Omeka theme require extensive knowledge of PHP? What's the minimum skill set needed? </p>
