#Smart Projects Kirby Theme

Smart Projects is a Kirby based directory which handles all your project data.

##How to install After downloading just remove the default assets, content and site folder and replace it with the downloaded ones. For optional interface usage you have to install the Kirby Panel.

I strictly recommend using it with a local installation (XAMPP, MAMP etc.) only, so your sensible data and client stuff will be absolutely safe.

##How to use You can create your project entries by adding visible subfolders with a corresponding project.txt to the directory folder or - way easier - using the Panel. The prearranged fields - respectively the example text files - are self-explanatory and can be extended the way you prefer it.

###Private projects Sometimes there may be some own projects or stuff you did for a family member or a friend. So you won't have any client IDs for that kind of data. Just add "private" to the client ID field and it will be listed in the private section.

###Print/PDF I just coded some basic print styles to make sure that unimportant parts of the project template won't appear on your print document. You may create a special and customized print stylesheet according to your personal needs, to convert the data of a project to a PDF file for example.

###Extended usage Furthermore you can make use of Kirby's natural folder structure and put other important documents - like invoices or domain acquisition requests - in your project folders. So you've got all the data you might need in the future at one place.

There's a bunch of more possibilities to customize the theme for your own needs and preferences. So go ahead and fork it!

##Feature overview Here are some built-in features of Smart Projects in the current version:
