I'm trying to take a static theme and convert it to Drupal, and I'm having a problem with a background image. You can see what I'm trying to convert from at www.campusfiresafety.org.
The problem is the graphic that is the brown border under the navigation bar at the top (under the banner). It is a 174px x 1px image that starts at the top of the page and goes down to just below the buttons. In looking at the Zen theme, what I would like to do is mimic, that, but the header div goes down and stops above the navbar div. My thought was to create a wrapper div that would encompass the header and navbar divs. The problem is that the navbar div is not directly adjacent to the header div: instead, it is after <div id="content">, and inside <div id="main-inner">, which is inside <div id="main">, which is adjacent to <div id="header">. Since the main div includes the page content, I can't wrap header and navbar as I would like. Can anybody give me an option of how to get the background image to go down through the navbar div? I supposed I could try moving the navbar div out of main, but I'm not the CSS guru, so I'd be afraid of messing the whole page up. The other option would be to cut down the div so it fits in the navbar div, I suppose.
You can see my attempt at http://dev.campusfiresafety.org.
On the same page, I also need to replace the text for each primary links with a button image and mouseover image. I've seen a few options for ways to do that. Does anybody have experience doing this, and suggestions of what way would be the easiest?
Thanks.
Steve
Dear All,
I am tying a drupal site to a mail list manager and would like to control the From: address field in the e-mail that is generated from the Contact page.
Currently the message is, logically enough, formatted with the From: address as the address of the person who created the message.
Is there a way to make the From: address something else, for example:
From: Drupal Site mydrupalsite@someserver.com
Thanks!
Hi,
I have been getting an unusually large volume of backscatter spam on the email address that I use for my Drupal website, and I am trying to narrow down what the cause might be. I disabled the sitewide contact form and the invite module, and it seems to have died down, but it could just be a coincidence because it didn't stop right away after these things were disabled. Anyone else getting hit hard the past week?
As if to respond, one minute after sending this email to the support list I get 6 more messages from the spammer/bot

I've had a lot of content spammers registering with Yahoo email accounts for the last 2 weeks or so.
No email as I'm careful to keep that off the site and feedback is only for registered users.
Good luck!

We've had an unprecedented spike in contact-form spam.

Use it to control the SPAM. There are many options besides the generated images.

With the level of expertise of our users, captcha has served to block legitimate human responses as well. Sigh. That said, I'd already planned on reinstating recapthca at the request of my boss ... I was just providing feedback for the initial inquiry.

A few quick words of advice:
Can anybody give me an option of how to get the background image to go down through the navbar div? I supposed I could try moving the navbar div out of main, but I'm not the CSS guru, so I'd be afraid of messing the whole page up. The other option would be to cut down the div so it fits in the navbar div, I suppose.
I can't go right now into the full details of your situation, but my advice is always to find an existing and finished Drupal theme and then customize that until it looks as you need. You will find that way that many elements (like Drupal tabs etc.) are already setup for you. Probably will prove to be less work in the long run.

Find the right menu theme functions and over ride them in template.php
