Error message during subtheme generation is too vague

[maxplus]

Guys,

I had a lot of problems fighting the error message in the theme settings "If you want Kalatheme to be able to use custom Bootstrap libraries or generate subthemes automatically please properly configure your webserver."

Now I found out with viewing the Kalatheme code, that you not only need 775 permissions for your themes and libraries folder, BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO ENABLE THE UPDATE MODULE!

I always disable the "update module" because it makes development much slower,...

Maybe something to write down as requirement in the WIKI? https://github.com/drupalprojects/kalatheme/wiki/Configuring-Server-for-Automatic-Kalatheme-installation

@labboy0276 i think there is a function in kalatheme which checks for the update module. we should make sure that we add something to this error message so the user knows they also need to turn the update module on to build subthemes. @katypool, we should add this into the documentation as well.

If you want Kalatheme to be able to use custom Bootstrap libraries or generate subthemes automatically please properly configure your webserver and turn on the updates module"

@pirog can we just make ti a dependency and call it a day?

[pirog]

@labboy0276 i don't know if we can make it a dependency of the whole project. there are a lot of reasons why someone might not want to turn on the update module and a lot of people won't even need it because they wont use a subtheme or custom library.

@reynoldsalec or @andrewmallis do you have any thoughts on this? maybe its not a big deal to just make it a dependency?

Running Kalatheme 7.x-3.0 on MAMP, PHP 5.3.27

I must be missing something. When I attempt to add the openmind Custom Bootstrap library, the template.php and main.css files are blank (except for comments at the top).

Any thoughts?

I think that is the expected behavior. They are just placeholder files for
your new sub theme.
