Use themes to change the look of your site:
We have done some customization, but you are welcome to do more -- and you should if you have basic HTML and CSS knowledge. Responsive sites can be more difficult to use than fixed-width sites, but if you stick with what our WebTeam has configured, this may not be an issue.
Several themes have easy editing of common items including selected colors, backgrounds and images. These are indicated below as easy edit. Easy edit themes have a plugin that controls the major theme settings.
All themes have "components" which allow the editing of items (such as Chapter Name) which are common to all themes.
Available Themes
All themes listed here are mobile friendly
- BG4forFNPS - A variant of BG4 that has been set up with an FNPS look; the header and a home page slider have been set up. Same comments on capabilities and needed skills. Highly recommended if you are fluent with HTML and have some css knowledge
- Monarda -- Huge image as the home page, one-level menu. This theme has some formatting options that are settable when setting up the theme. For example, you change the big image by uploading it to sitedesign and enabling it using a theme setting. The basic color scheme is dark blue, but all the dark colors are editable. Easy edit.
- Martin County Blue - One-level menu across the top. Easy to use. This is a variant of the original Ocean theme, but customized for FNPS. Easy edit.
- NatureCoastPastel.
- FNPSsidemenu -Two level menu on the left side. Theme is similar in appearance to SkrollrGS but does not have the side scrolling (it bahaves normally). Easy edit. Almost complete -- need to add javascript to switch to mobile menu.
- Seaside2 - One-level menu (keep very short) but wraps reasonably well
- SkrollrGS -- Very different, it is a 1-page theme that scrolls to the side. It does some trickery to do this, basically turning all pages into a single page, so not appropriate for large sites. Should work for most chapters. Menu is fixed on the left side. The calendar and meeting location need to be built into their pages (display source, then add the component code manually -- this theme cannot use the calendar and meeting location layouts. If you have a large site, use FNPSsidemenu
- SuncoastDrop - responsive with multi-level menu. Easy edit.
- Transcend - responsive. This is an advanced theme with 5 home page options including 1) default home page that scrolls to have multiple sesctions including slide show, boxes, badges, and photographs. Other options simplify it. Easy edit -- but there are a lot of things that need editing especially if you use the default home page.
Menues and themes: Beware any theme that does not allow submenues and also limits the number of items in a single-level menu structure. Single level menues are fine when the number of items is unrestricted. You may have to change themes if you add too many menu items.
The major header-type images are in an images subdirectory where you can replace them. sitedesign The images are named by what they are followed by the associated theme. If it is an "easy edit" template, you can replace images and set basic colors without editing the theme code.
