class=422340822-10012006>Basically, you need to install "Theme Engines" to
support specific themes. PHPTemplate is a theme engine used by many themes
such as Box_Grey. So if you want to use some of the PHPTemplate themes
(like box_grey) then you need to first download and install the PHPTemplate
theme engine. Then you download and install a particular theme (like
box_grey). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV id=RTEContent>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> While I did get Drupal installed, I am having some
startup problems with my first Drupal sites. I have more than one, as it
appears that Drupal is a web application that will be useful for a few different
sites.</DIV>
<DIV> One of the first issues deals with themes. It
seems that themes would be much easier to use and setup then things have been
for me. Unfortunately, the themes I check out at: <A
href="http://drupal.org/project/themes/">http://drupal.org/project/themes/</A>
when downloaded, do not have a readme or installation instructions file that
will tell one what to do.</DIV>
<DIV> Relatedly, the PHPTemplate theme tool said that all one does
it upload the expanded zip (actually it was a tar/gz file) and upload it to the
themes/engine folder. Am I supposed to look for something after this is
installed? I had used Fantastico to install Drupal 4.6.4 but thought that
PHPTemplate was installed; I guess I was wrong.</DIV>
<DIV> At the risk of sounding naive, what does one do to use
PHPTemplate? It said that only one file is needed in the particular theme
folder such as theme/mytheme</DIV>
<DIV>I'm missing something, as I'm still not seeing any additional themes from
the default installation.</DIV>
<DIV>So, to get started with Themes, and PHPTemplate, I will need to do
what? or start where?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The second question deals with menus and Contact forms. Suppose I
want to add a menu item which will present a form for submitting content to two
different email addresses. I know that for a menu item, I first create the
new menu and then add that menu as a block. However, the path to a contact
form to contact some default emails, like editors, is not presenting itself
clearly for me. I'm not finding it, can someone help, please,</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
