Hi Snugug!

I find myself using more and more SASS and Drupal stuff made by you. You're awesome!

In every Drupal theme i use a number of handy mixins that leverage Susy in a particular way. I decided to create a Compass extension to make reusing my stuff easier.

I've read documentation for compass extensions and the readme of your template. I understand how to create an extension, but i don't understand how to develop/debug it.

It's very inconvenient to recreate and redownload a gem every time i make a change to my code and want to see the result. So there should be a way to code an extension and compile a Compass project that uses the extension being developed, without assembling a gem.

Compass documentation gives a hint:

If you're developing a simple extension, you may find it convenient to place your extension within an existing compass project in the extension folder.

But i don't fully understand that. Should i create an extension folder and put my code (i. e. your template) there? Or should i create a folder named after my extension? Or a combination of those, e. g. extension/foo? How do i import that to a Compass project? What does the following hint really mean?

Never specify an extension in your imports as this can cause issue when the syntax of a file changes.

Dear Snugug, please clarify this. I thing you answer would be worth putting into the template's readme.

Kind regards, lolmaus

Hello, I have followed your method here to create an extension, however I can't seem to get it to register. When you type compass framework, it doesn't appear in the list.

this is the code for it in my lib/extension_name.rb file:

extension_path = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(FILE), ".."))
Compass::Frameworks.register('base-framework',
:stylesheets_directory => File.join(File.dirname(FILE), '..', 'sass'),
:templates_directory => File.join(File.dirname(FILE), '..', 'templates'),
:path => extension_path)

Am I being silly here?

Hello,

I was wandering if you could help me, I have a compass extension with a project template. This template adds various files to the system including sass files, php files, js files and image files.

I want the sass files to appear within a folder called css rather than /sass that the default config.rb file puts them in when you create a project.

From a template level can you dictate the directories for your assets?:

css_dir = "css"
sass_dir = "css"
images_dir = "img"
javascripts_dir = "js"

Thanks very much for any help

How can I inject a custom hook into the config?

I have described the problem here fully: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27315930/reuse-hooks-from-compass-config-rb

Thanks for providing this template, it clarified a lot of things! I kept having an error when I ran the gem build command:

Invalid gemspec in [extension.gemspec]: /Users/marcelos/Projects/extension/lib/extension.rb:19: class/module name must be CONSTANT

I hadn't missed any instances of the extension name anywhere, and had tried to rebuild from scratch several times. The only thing that fixed this was commenting out lines 19-22 in /lib/extension.rb and then explicitly defining the version and date on lines 8-9 of the extension.gemspec file.
