Overview

Installation

composer require level-level/clarkson-Core

or read the installation guide.

Template Hierachy

Uses the internal Template Hierarchy so you can replace index.php with index.twig or archive-company.php with archive-company.twig and still have all Posts or CPT's available in "The Loop".

{% extends "layouts/full-width.twig" %}

{% block content %}
    {% for object in objects %}
        {% include 'partials/teaser.twig' %}
    {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

Autoloading of WordPress-object classes per Custom Post Type.

It autoloads default objects that behave just like WP_Post and other native WordPress object but with some more handy stuff. When you register a Custom Post Type ll_company your custom class ll_company gets loaded in the Twig context as objects variable within the archive-company.twig.
