What This Plugin Adds

Section titled “What This Plugin Adds”

Foundation Theme is an Available, No schema impact Capell theme in the Capell Themes product group. It ships as capell-app/theme-foundation and extends these surfaces: admin, frontend.

Theme Foundation provides the shared public layouts, runtime design tokens, layout defaults, and override contracts used by Capell themes. It renders host-owned page data and does not introduce a separate content model.

Sites can use Foundation directly or extend it with a child theme, while public pages share predictable layout and token rendering without frontend authoring state.

Child Theme Override Contract

Section titled “Child Theme Override Contract”

Foundation Theme owns the stable child theme override surface for Capell themes. Child themes should declare extends: 'default' and override documented sections, views, tokens, and chrome areas instead of replacing the whole public rendering path.

Stable contract points:

  • Theme Studio sections: navigation, hero, features, proof, content-listing, search, pagination, form, contact-split, cta, footer.
  • Shared views: capell::theme.page, capell::layout.area, capell::media.svg.
  • Runtime tokens: --foundation-page-bg, --foundation-section-spacing, --foundation-widget-gap.
  • Layout Builder chrome areas: header.
  • Public-output rule: child themes must not expose authoring metadata, editor controls, model IDs, field paths, permissions, or signed editor URLs.

Data Model

Section titled “Data Model”

This theme has no schema impact. It relies on core Capell site, page, locale, and theme records instead of declaring package-owned tables.

Common Pitfalls

Section titled “Common Pitfalls”
  • Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases: capell-app/core, capell-app/frontend, capell-app/layout-builder, capell-app/navigation.
  • Review package configuration before production-like verification: config/capell-theme-foundation.php, Capell\FoundationTheme\Settings\FoundationThemeSettings.
  • Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
  • Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for theme-foundation cache tags.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”
Symptom Likely cause Check Fix
Package surface is missing after install Provider or manifest is not loaded Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches
Public output leaks unexpected state Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests

Quick Start

Section titled “Quick Start”
  1. Install the package: composer require capell-app/theme-foundation.
  2. Run the required setup: php artisan capell:theme-foundation-setup.
  3. Open /theme-default-directory and confirm the public output renders without admin state.
