Pilo’Press is a framework plugin for WordPress. Based on ACF and ACF Extended, it allows you to create layouts among other things and use the Flexible Content field as a page builder. Pilo’Press uses Tailwind CSS for style templating which can be setup and build directly from the back-office. Please note that Tailwind CSS is not mandatory, you can choose to use it or not. Requirements This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields PRO and Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugins in order to work correctly. Getting started Activate Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin Activate ACF Extended plugin Activate Pilo’Press plugin In your theme, create a pilopress folder Within the pilopress folder, create layouts subfolder Within the pilopress folder, create assets subfolder In the index.php file, add the following code: Styles, when you click on “Update & Compile”, TailwindCSS will be compiled remotely using TailwindAPI. Minified CSS files are then created under /pilopress/assets/styles.min.css and /pilopress/assets/styles-admin.min.css. You can manually enqueue those files in your theme for the front-end & the back-end, but we recommend to use automatic enqueue code above. It is possible to manually retrieve the Tailwind PostCSS & JS fields of the administration if you want to build TailwindCSS locally. To do so, you can use the following code: $tailwind_css = get_field( 'pip_tailwind_style', 'pip_styles_tailwind' ); $tailwind_config = get_field( 'pip_tailwind_config', 'pip_styles_tailwind' ); For more details, see Tailwind CSS Documentation. Customizing style To customize default Tailwind CSS styles, go to Pilo'Press > Styles from left navigation menu or top bar menu. For more details about customization, see Github Page. Add new layout In the admin menu Pilo'Press > Layouts, add a new layout Configure the layouts fields Create PHP, CSS and JS files in your theme layout folder /your-theme/pilopress/layouts/your-layout You have to name those files the same way you did in back-office settings Note: only PHP template file is require. Templating To display the content of your post, you have to use the following function: // Pilo'Press content (doesn't need 'echo') the_pip_content(); // Pilo'Press content (needs 'echo') echo get_pip_content(); Components See GitHub Page for complete example.
