Hello,
I'd like to build my own theme from scratch using php and integrate it into toolset.
My theme will be lightweight and SEO friendly.

I would like to use all toolset plugins except for layouts, because I think it's quite heavy.

What should I keep in mind?
It's important for me that this site will be layouts free. Is this okay?

Thanks for your help,
Nick

Hi Nicholas,

What should you keep in mind ? I need a little bit more information. Is it that you want to use the plugin with your theme or that you want to load the custom fields through your theme.

It's a bit too open ended so i need some specific details.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Nicholas,

Actually there isn't much I can say about the compatibility since our plugins are generally compatibility with most themes.

If you're building your own theme so long as you're using standard practices for creating the template files then views should work flawlessly. If you use a custom function to load your content then views is able to identify that function.

For the custom fields once created in Types then you can call them directly in your page template or you can use our views content templates to customise the output of your page content.

Thanks,
Shane
