Hi, Drupal 4.7 has this functionality. I am not sure that this is easily possible with Drupal 4.6.x. Regards, Kobus >>> michel(a)ziobudda.net 1/9/2006 12:58:24 PM >>> Hi all. For my new portal site, I have a template with a footer where I want to insert some block. I want to know if there is a possibility, with drupal, to manage this new sidebar. In Administration section I have see only sidebar-left and sidebar-right. Tnx in advance for all.

Hi, There is not a definate date for this yet, but I have been experimenting with the Release Candidates for a while now and they are pretty stable. I suggest you take a look at this, as it brings a lot of new functionality to Drupal that will make your site a lot better.

And the question is: when 4.7 ? Tnx. PS: sorry for the double reply. _______________________________________________ themes mailing list themes(a)drupal.org http://lists.drupal.org/mailman/listinfo/themes

RE: [themes] Theme generator

I don't think it was a strange choice. He mentioned why in his origianl announcment. I played with it a little just to check it out. It is fairly restricited to a standard 'format' of site, but it allows for color custimization, borders, fonts and some other stuff. It's quite a nice little app. AND it helps neophytes get a theme that does NOT look like every other freaking Drupal site out there :) while they learn how to theme. In the absence of other tools it's a decent alternative for people still trying to learn this stuff. ________________________________ From: themes-bounces(a)drupal.org on behalf of Khalid B Sent: Fri 1/6/2006 4:16 PM To: A list for theme developers Subject: Re: [themes] Theme generator I agree it is a very strange choice. Due to the "pushy salesman/marketeer" style of writing, I suspected it was a hoax from someone promoting an unrelated site. However, you can see that the guy is an Excel guru, and hence coded the theme generator in VBA! Lots of people are on his site asking for support, making comments, ...etc. My points are: a) people will use what they know, and b) there is a dire need for this. So, referring to the other discussion on Super Theme, we might as well do something that runs in Drupal and allows changing color and maybe layout, otherwise someone will code it in IBM 360 assembler.

UPDATE: Create a theme for a specific flexinode type

This page, http://drupal.org/node/31646, has the 3rd most comments in the Drupal handbook. Could we get some volunteers to step through the 27 comments and try to extract the wisdom into an updated page. Cheers, Kieran

So what about a super theme?
by Gunnar Langemark 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I dream of this super theme with extensive configuration capabilities. It would be a theme AND an admin module actually, and it would work like a theme generator. You would have color-schemes, layouts, content areas etc. For instance you would have a configuration of the color-scheme or palette, which would give you a number of choices: select a predefined (ten schemes provided with the theme default), download a shared scheme (via an xml-feed?) from a theme provider site, create your own interactively (perhaps like this: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html) and perhaps then share them. (Ajax anyone?) You would have an area in which to layout blocks of content interactively by adding, dragging and dropping (colored) squares in a screen area simulating the browser window. When clicking on a square you would be prompted to ad content - a node, a node type, a taxonomy term etc. These layouts could be shared too - via xml, and there would be a few (10) presets in the default super theme, and you could run a service providing your own layout templates. There would be no practical limits to where you could put what content, and it would be possible to define areas on your site with a certain layout. Is anybody else dreaming of such a super theme? I think there could even be a business model in this? I know Drupal is capable of doing some of this. I just think all Drupal users should have a "theme generator" module, and I'd like it to be interactive and Ajax'ed somehow. Best Gunnar

Dynamic horizontal taxonomy menu with xTemplate
by Joe Murray 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I'm working with some graphic designers who are still coming up to speed on Drupal. We're trying to create a horizontal menu with data from a taxonomy. It's three deep. Ideally the first level would be horizontal, the second and third would be vertical, ie, the menu options drop down, and then if there is a third level it comes out and drops down again. After looking at a number of options (eg. jsdoMenu, rewriting our xTemplate them in phpTemplate, hardcoding menu, etc) we decided we would try to get Nick Lewis' phpTemplate menu (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/index.htm) working in xTemplate. Not sure this is feasible... Anyway, we've got the css stuff working but want to find a hack that would allow us to run a php snippet in the appropriate place in the template. Under the existing <tr> for the logo and primary and secondary menus we were thinking of doing something like: <tr><td colspan="2" class="topmenu">test<?php $TheMenu = theme_menu_tree(17); print $TheMenu; ?> </td></tr> Can we create a {mymenu} that would run this code snippet? Or is there a different way we can do this using xTemplate? Advice welcome. (Yeah, we should have figured out menuing before doing theme in xTemplate, but we're newbies...)

Hi, I fixed this by increasing the top margin for the textfield.
