Resets the child theme to its Bricks-first minimalist form (per RESTART-PLAN.md
phases 1a-1d) and extracts the textual copy into a runtime-independent
/content-source/ directory.
Child theme files removed
- header.php, footer.php, page.php, index.php, front-page.php
- template-parts/{solution,industry,conversion-form}.php
- templates/page-*.php (10 Custom Page Templates)
- inc/render-blocks.php, render-blocks-native.php, render-bricks.php
- inc/shortcodes.php, i18n.php, form-handler.php, seo.php
- assets/css/components.css, assets/js/main.js
Reasoning: Bricks Templates (Header / Footer / Single — Page) and Bricks-edited
pages now drive every screen. Anything emitted from the child theme would
fight Bricks' own rendering and waste CSS specificity battles.
Child theme now contains only
- style.css, functions.php (simplified to ~60 lines), theme.json
- inc/cpt.php (case_study + scenario + industry taxonomy)
- assets/css/tokens.css (untouched — design system source of truth)
- assets/css/utilities.css (trimmed to skip-link + sr-only + focus-visible
+ reduced motion — everything else handled by Bricks)
- assets/fonts/Inter-Variable*.woff2 (RGPD self-hosted)
- README.md spelling out the Bricks-first contract
Content moved to /content-source/
- solutions-data.php, industries-data.php, technology-data.php,
editorial-data.php, forms-data.php — git mv preserves history
- README.md explaining their dual role: copy reference while building
in Bricks, and source for programmatic page generation when we
replicate an archetype across its variants.
Root README.md updated with the new repo layout + a pointer to
RESTART-PLAN.md and the archive/session-2-php-templates branch.
Memory file project_asterion_status.md updated for next-session resume.
What's preserved as before
- /BRIEF-Claude-Code.md, both PDFs, all .txt extracts
- /MISSING-ASSETS.md
- /ThirdParty/ (Bricks + WPML ZIPs, gitignored)
- LocalWP site at localhost:10004, Bricks v2.3.4 + WPML 4.9.3 active
- WPML EN/FR with directory URL strategy
- All Git history, both main and archive/session-2-php-templates branches

# Asterion Bricks — Child theme (minimalist, Bricks-first)
|
||
|
||
Custom WordPress child theme for **asterionvr.com**, built on top of [Bricks Builder](https://bricksbuilder.io). The whole site is rendered by Bricks Templates and Bricks-edited pages — this theme exists only to give Bricks a design system, GDPR-compliant fonts, and the project's Custom Post Types.
|
||
|
||
## What this theme does
|
||
|
||
- 🎨 Loads `assets/css/tokens.css` on the public frontend AND inside the Bricks builder iframe — so every `--color-*`, `--space-*`, `--font-*` variable defined there is available to Bricks elements via the **CSS Class** field or **Custom CSS** panel.
|
||
- 🔤 Self-hosts Inter Variable (latin subset) for RGPD compliance, with a `<link rel="preload">` injected on every page.
|
||
- 📰 Registers two Custom Post Types — `case_study` (slug `/customers/`) and `scenario` (slug `/scenarios/`) — plus the shared `industry` taxonomy.
|
||
- 📐 Adds three image sizes : `av-hero` (2400×1350), `av-card` (800×600), `av-thumb` (400×300).
|
||
- 🌐 Ships an `asterion-bricks` text domain for future i18n.
|
||
|
||
## What this theme does NOT do (intentionally)
|
||
|
||
- ❌ No `header.php` / `footer.php` / `page.php` / `front-page.php` / `index.php`. Bricks Templates (Header / Footer / Single — Page) drive every screen.
|
||
- ❌ No Custom Page Templates (`templates/page-*.php`). Pages render through their Bricks data (`_bricks_page_content_2` post meta).
|
||
- ❌ No PHP renderers, Gutenberg block helpers, shortcodes. Content lives in Bricks data and WPML translations.
|
||
|
||
If you find yourself adding any of the above back, stop and revisit `RESTART-PLAN.md` at the repo root — there are usually better Bricks-native alternatives.
|
||
|
||
## File map
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
asterion-bricks/
|
||
├── style.css # WP theme metadata only
|
||
├── functions.php # enqueue tokens, preload font, theme support, CPT include
|
||
├── theme.json # Gutenberg color/typo palette aligned with tokens.css
|

|
||
|
||
Total : ~10 files, < 700 lines of code (with tokens.css being the lion's share).
|
||
|
||
## Where the content copy lives
|
||
|
||
The textual copy from the Strategy & Content PDF (page-by-page EN copy, deliverable D.1 to D.29) lives at the repo root in `/content-source/`. Those are PHP arrays keyed by page slug — they are not loaded at runtime. Their job is twofold:
|
||
- **Reference** when building a Bricks page : copy/paste the appropriate strings into the Bricks elements as you build.
|
||
- **Source for programmatic generation** when we replicate a Bricks-built archetype across its variants (e.g. the 4 industry detail pages, the 6 technology pillars).
|
||
|
||
## Activation
|
||
|
||
1. Install Bricks parent theme (`wp-content/themes/bricks/`) — the ZIP lives in `ThirdParty/`.
|
||
2. Install + activate WPML core (also in `ThirdParty/`).
|
||
3. WP Admin → Appearance → Themes → activate **Asterion Bricks**.
|
||
4. WP Admin → Bricks → Settings → check **Page** in « Builder access · Post types ».
|
||
|
||
## Tokens to know
|
||
|
||
The full design system lives in `assets/css/tokens.css`. The most-referenced tokens:
|
||
|
||
| Variable | Value |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `--color-brand-navy` | `#0B1F3A` |
|
||
| `--color-brand-gold` | `#C9A45A` |
|
||
| `--color-text-primary` | `#0B1F3A` |
|
||
| `--font-display` | Inter Display fallback to Inter |
|
||
| `--font-body` | Inter |
|
||
| `--space-1..32` | 8-pt grid (4px → 128px) |
|
||
| `--container-max` | 1280px |
|
||
| `--ease-default` | `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` |
|
||
| `--shadow-sm`/`--shadow-md`/`--shadow-lg` | navy-tinted elevation |
|
||
|
||
Reference them inside Bricks via Custom CSS:
|
||
|
||
```css
|
||
%root% {
|
||
background: var(--color-brand-navy);
|
||
color: var(--color-text-on-dark);
|
||
padding-block: var(--space-20);
|
||
}
|
||
```
