whats the best way to have tabbed panes in drupal 6.x and 7.x
Hi All I have very limited knowledge on Drupal. I have installed Drupal 6.x, I have made the front page. Once user logs in, it lands in my login destination panel page (configured usning login destination module). I want in my login destination page, I should have around 3 tabbed panes. I downloaded quicktabs module, using quicktabs module created a block (having 3 tabs). Added the block to login destination panel page. I am able to see the tabbed panes as expected. Now please clarify --------------------------------------------- 1. Is this the preferred way to have tabbed panes in Drupal 6.x ? Here I face a minor problem. I am using CTI-Flex theme (a zen sub-theme), I have configured different colors for header, footer, background etc (I have installed color picker module). The login destination page (that has tabs), looks bit odd, it does not have the configured colors for header, footer and background. So my front page headr/footer/background color, login destination page headr/footer/background color are entirely different. Any idea what needs to be done. 2. What is the preferred way to have tabbed panes in Drupal 7.x, as my plan is there to upgrade to Drupal 7.x 3. Will quicktabs work with Drupal 7.x Regards Kamal On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 9:51 AM, Marty Landman <mlandman@face2interface.com>wrote:
Yeah I was afraid of that. Wish there was something like overriding the tpl.php files but nooo. And alas I didn't write the site to begin with so too late for doing things right to start with.

You could use 'diff' or something similar to find out what's changed and put just those lines of CSS in a file in your theme folder. Generally, I find the best way to avoid this problem is not to get into it in the first place by keeping the custom CSS in the theme folder to begin with. :)

Which I understand is why this wasn't the right way to do things. I'm sure that copying the old css files fixes the problems, because I did. Want to do things according to best practice. I could just take those entire css file contents and append them to the style.css file for the theme. That'd work I think, but is there a better way, w/o actually picking all the lines apart to see what's needed?
