Drupal 7 themes error - support

12 Mar 2010


      Fault in Drupal 7
I copied garland to /sites/all/themes, renamed the file and change the 
.info as per Drupal 6.15 instructions and it produces errors:
/ Notice/: /Undefined variable: site_name_and_slogan/ in /include()/ 
(line /20/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).
* /Notice/: /Undefined variable: site_name_and_slogan/ in
      /include()/ (line /22/ of
      //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).
    * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: site_html/ in /include()/ (line
      /24/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).
    * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: primary_nav/ in /include()/ (line
      /30/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).
    * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: secondary_nav/ in /include()/ (line
      /31/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).
    * /Notice/: /Undefined variable: tabs2/ in /include()/ (line /51/ of
      //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/garland2/page.tpl.php/).
This is repeatable and occurs for other copied  and some installed 
Drupal 7 themes.
   Does D7 not require /sites/all/themes for user themes.
Problem does not occur with Diary 1, Cherry Blossom, Abaca,  but Forest 
Floor 7 fails to load.
mulpro 7 produces errors:
* /Notice/: /Undefined variable: rdf_namespaces/ in /include()/
      (line /4/ of //var/www/html/D7/sites/all/themes/mulpo/page.tpl.php/).

Seems that something's amiss!
I'm trying to understand the relationships between user themes and the 
inbuilt theme engine but being new am somewhat stuck.
What am I missing please
Help and explanations are greatly appreciated.
TIA
