Lightweight theme framework base with Model-View concept for developers who want to better organize their own custom themes.

== Description ==

Just Theme Framework is a lightweight theme framework base with Model-View concept for developers who want to better organize their own custom themes.

Our mini framework features:

* Better organized templates system.
* Easy Post Types or Taxonomies registration.
* Base Model class.
* Advanced Theme registration class.
* Easy creation of Admin options pages.
* Supports numerous plugins:
	* WooCommerce
	* Autoptimize, WP Super Cache (easy customization of scripts optimization)
	* Contact Form 7 (auto save all requests to DB)
	* Just Custom Fields
	* Just TinyMce Custom Styles
	* Just Responsive Images
	* Faker Press

We didn't added "Controllers" level, because WordPress has it's own routing system and replacing it with one more level
	will impact the site speed. So basically it's very close to standard WordPress theme with much better organization
	of custom logic parts, custom queries etc.

= Better organized templates system =

You can now place all templates under "views" folder with section-by-section break down. Search your templates easily
under `page`, `post`, `search` folders. Or create new folder for your new Custom Post type and place all your templates
there.

Modern layouts system, taken from Laravel and Yii PHP Frameworks. Under `views` folder you can have different
nested `layouts` to keep header and footer in the same place. All repeatable wrappers from section templates can be moved
just as a new layout.

The template system is patched with standard WordPress hooks, which were added in version 4.7. We support all WordPress
standard template hierarchy. Our patch just adds `/views/{section}` prefix to the list of available templates.

= Easy Post Types or Taxonomies registration =

Use our base PostType or Taxonomy class to register your own Post Types or Taxonomies. It has more intuitive options;
built-in support for redirects, if you don't need a single page.

A lot of registered constants simplify the development, because your IDE will help you to set correct supports values,
post statuses or order by values in WP_Query.

= Base Model class =

Base Model class has wrappers for WP_Query, which works correctly with Custom Archives of Custom Post Types.
Standard custom archives doesn't have pagination, if you want to print them manually.

= Advanced Theme registration class =

Nice organized Theme registration class, which has a lot of hooks to patch standard WordPress installation with better
security and SEO optimizations.

= Easy creation of Admin options pages =
Built in wrapper for Titan Framework to rapidly build Admin option pages

= Theme Build Example =
You can find theme build example here: https://github.com/justcoded/wordpress-theme-boilerplate.

Don't forget to copy `requirements.php` to your theme and require it at the top of theme `functions.php` file!
