<DIV>Hi</DIV> <DIV> The problem seems to clearly be with the PHPTemplate setup. I tried a theme, Goofy that did not have a requirement of the PHPTemplate script and that theme was found right away by drupal. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to appreciably change the site look at all, even when I set the new theme to be the default theme.</DIV> <DIV>Any thoughts, suggestions, etc?</DIV> <DIV>Bruce<BR><BR><B><I>Bruce Whealton <brucewhealton@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV>Hi,</DIV> <DIV> Thanks for the help/support. I did both of these things. The PHPTemplates is installed in the directory as described.

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 dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=422340822-10012006></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=422340822-10012006>To summarize: </SPAN></FONT></DI V> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=422340822-10012006></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=422340822-10012006>1.

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 t o 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> <DIV>Bruce</DIV><BR><BR>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>Bruce Whealton - Webmaster/Designer/publisher/Writer<BR>admin@TriangleWebServcies.com<BR>Street Exposure - Street
