Since we are talking themes, establishing a minimum criteria for "certifying" themes as Drupal 5 or 6 compatible would be really helpful for module developers who rely on things I thought would be core to any theme... like print $scripts. I'm seeing an increasing number of issues in the TinyMCE queue from users who have downloaded themes that don't include print $scripts. I don't know if I'm just getting these because TinyMCE is the first module these people are trying that requires javascript, but I actually had a user suggest that we include the print $scripts requirement in the TinyMCE documentation!?! http://drupal.org/node/126297 http://drupal.org/node/133457 I'm going to include reverting to a default theme in a "things to try before asking" post, but the quality of some of the contributed themes is really spotty. I did not follow up to figure out which themes they were using because I really didn't have time to do anything about it, but I did recommend they post an issue for the theme. Testing themes for few basics like print $scripts, php declarations on all tags, etc would be something folks new to Drupal could do to contribute. I'd actually be willing to put a series of tests together and get this started if there was a way to share the data with users. I'm not interested in making subjective decisions about what looks good... only that the theme has all the pieces to function and play nice with that version of Drupal. - Kevin Reynen On 4/23/07, Dries Buytaert <dries.buytaert@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello world,
I'd like to invite/encourage you to help test and review the following issues:
http://drupal.org/node/137211 http://drupal.org/node/137236
It would be great to get them in shape before Earl goes (or might go) absent for a while!
So, could we give them some prime quality attention? If would be great to get this of our plate, so we can start focusing on other parts of Drupal. What's needed are some careful reviews and testing reports. Thanks!
