Thanks for the help/support. I did both of these
things. The PHPTemplates is installed in the directory as described.
Then I put box_grey in the directory in the folder themes/box_grey
But other than the default themes that came with the Drupal installation, I
have no other theme options showing up.
There are some theme installatioin instructions at:
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).
To summarize:
1. Download and untar/zip the PHPTemplate them
and put it in the themes/engines folder.
2. Download the box_grey theme (which happens
to use the PHPTemplate theme engine). Untar/zip the theme and place it in
the drupal themes folder.
3. Navigate to Administer themes, and you
should see the new box_grey theme as an option.
THe second question is a bit more complex, and I'd
recommend you looking through the modules list to make sure you find a module
that's closest to doing email the way you want to do it prior to trying to
encorperate it into a menu.

Hi all,
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.
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:
http://drupal.org/project/themes/
when downloaded, do not have a readme or installation instructions file that
will tell one what to do.
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.
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
I'm missing something, as I'm still not seeing any additional themes from
the default installation.
So, to get started with Themes, and PHPTemplate, I will need to do
what? or start where?
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,
Thanks,
Bruce
