I am using Sitecore Experience Accelerator 1.4 and I do not want to use Bootstrap, Foundation or Grid960. I have my custom CSS framework. Anyone can provide me a solution that how I can add a new Grid?

According to this page you can create your own grid: doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_accelerator/… 'SXA supports integrating other grid frameworks and you can also build your own.' I'm not exactly sure how you go about doing this though as can't find any docs on it. However it looks like you might need to add to the base themes here: /sitecore/Media Library/Base Themes.– Adam SeabridgeJul 5, 2017 at 10:05

It is easy. The implementation steps are low complexity.
See how bootstrap is configured
Create Grid Theme
Example:
/sitecore/media library/Feature/Experience Accelerator/Bootstrap/Bootstrap
Why/What?
It is your custom grid theme. The most important thing is to include your css file with all your grid classes
Create Grid Definition
Example:
/sitecore/system/Settings/Feature/Experience Accelerator/Bootstrap/Grid Definition
Why/What?
This item contains children which defines your devices (Phone, Desktop). Each device can have different properties (Size, Push, Pull, Offset) and each property can have different values (css classes, for example col-xs-1 for Phone Device->Size->1, you will use your grid classes here)
Fields:
RenderingParametersFieldType- I assume you are not doing anything custom here, so you can use default field renderer:Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Grid.Fields.FieldRenderers.GridRenderingParametersFieldRenderer, Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Grid. Once you fill this field and save an item you should seeDefaultGridParametersrendering your configuration.DefaultGridParameters- provide default values hereGrid Theme- link to your grid theme defined in step 1GridFieldParserType- link in first point, use default:Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Grid.Parser.GridFieldParser,Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Gridif you are not going to customize anything.GridBodyViewPath- path to yourcshtmlfile which contains your grid layout. Remember to include all necessary placeholders (header,main,footer)
Create Scaffolding Setup
Example:
/sitecore/system/Settings/Feature/Experience Accelerator/Bootstrap/Grid Setup
Why/What?
This item contains only link to a Grid Definition and Name that will appear in a new Site Dialog in the tab with grid selection

4I think the thing I hate the most about SXA is how everyone writing about it keep saying "It is easy". It's easy when you are use to it, just like it's easy for me to perform Sub-Zero MkII Fatality, but for someone who start with SXA, it's everything but easy. Mar 28, 2018 at 19:36
