Using Foundation
This topic explains how to use the Foundation Grid and other Foundation components in a
Web Form or COTG Form.
Foundation
All Web Template Wizards in Connect Designer make use of the Zurb Foundation front-end
framework. A front-end framework is a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to build
upon. Foundation is a responsive framework: it uses CSS media queries and a mobile-first
approach, so that websites built upon Foundation look good and function well on multiple
devices including desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Foundation is
tested across many browsers and devices, and works back as far as IE9 and Android 2. See
http://foundation.zurb.com/learn/about.html and "Using Foundation" above.
Capture OnTheGo and Jumbotron template wizards automatically add the Foundation files v.
5.5.1 to the resources of the template. In a future version of PlanetPress Connect, Foundation 6
will be included. If you'd rather start using the newest Foundation files right away, you have two
options:
l Download the Foundation files (from http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/download.html/) and
add them to the template manually.
l Use remote Foundation files from a CDN, such as https://cdnjs.com/ (search for
Foundation).
See "Using JavaScript" on page355 and "Adding CSS files" on page469 for further
instructions.
Once the Foundation files have been added to a template, you can use the Grid, as well as
many other Foundation components, in your template.
Tip
Take a look in the Snippets folder on the Resources pane. After creating a template with a Capture
OnTheGo or Jumbotron template wizard, this folder contains a number of ready-made elements that
make use of Foundation.
