Does a theme for collectors exist?

[vvanasperen]

Hi,

I'm very new to ProcessWire and honestly I don't really know where to start. I keep postponing it. A colleague told me that an existing theme would be a great starting and learning point, but the fact is that I can't find the kind of theme I need. What I want to do is to have my collection of comic books online, but in a responsive way and with the possibility to quickly see which comics are missing (when I'm at a convention for example) or which ones I want in  a better condition. There are a lot of things I can think of, but let's start with the basics and that is a theme to display my collection. Anyone see anything like that online? Love to hear from you guys. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Vincent

Welcome to ProcessWire and the forums @vvanasperen .  

A theme, in the sense you describe it, is a so-called 'site-profile'. We don't really have themes in ProcessWire. Personally, I think a great place to start is reading the docs, the basics. My motto would be I can make it all nice and shiny (theme) later, once I get to know the basics. If you already have a PHP background, great, you will be quite comfortable. If not, you will need to learn a few PHP basics in order to use ProcessWire, Here's a couple of docs to get you started:

Sorry, typing in a hurry...but others will chime in am sure.

@kongondo unfortunately I don't have enough PHP knowledge yet. I've just started with the text tutorials and also found some german tutorial video's online. Thanks for your reaction.

Here is a good starter profile based upon the twitter bootstrap framework: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/13572-bootstrap-4-minimal-site-profile/

The Skyscrapers demo is a good example of a collection profile.

https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/skyscrapers2

The demo was updated recently and I don't think a full profile of that is available yet. But the template files in the GitHub repo show how the site works. And the old Skyscrapers profile is available here if you're interested.

@Robin S and @horst thanks for the suggestions. I will look into it, but as suggested first I'll follow the tutorials on this site (and youtube).
