Themes needing maintainers
by Adrian Rossouw 15 May '06

15 May '06

Over a year ago , I committed some themes that were ported from Wordpress , as a favor to a bunch of designers who Bryght was involved with. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get ahold of the designers, and these themes are now sitting in cvs unmaintained. Could someone please take them off my hands and possibly upgrade them to 4.7. They are pretty basic. They are : Leaf Blix rdc* Green Marinée Gespaa -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com

theme function documentation (rephrased froward from dev and doc)
by Vladimir Zlatanov 11 May '06

11 May '06

I'm giving up. Adrian nagged me (nearly to death) to join the list and forward this :) Documentation. Is anyone interested in helping me prepare a theming reference. The reference from the apis is not good for designers. Ultimately I would like to be able to automatically produce the html snippets, for each theme function, regardless of what is the template engine. My plan is to: 1. catalogue all available theme_ functions in core (for all practical purposes this is done, might need tweaking, but the code is there) 2. go through the theme_ functions and construct dummy(lorem ipsum) style calls to extract a formatted html. 3. look into producing a drupaldocs like description. This suggestion is closely related to testing as well. How would you approach it? Any ideas? There are a few catches. At the moment I will try and target 4.7. If everything works, we can have a look at setting up a website with this. Cheers, Vlado

YUI library for themers
by Theodore Serbinski 11 May '06

11 May '06

The Yahoo! UI Library: Grids CSS -> http://com1.devnet.scd.yahoo.com/yui/grids/ So what does everyone think? Upon my initial review, I'm liking this. With 3 files, it would be relatively easy to ensure cross browser compatibility among basic design and layout. * grids.css - makes it super easy to specify a 1 - 4 column website. By default this is fixed width for 800x600 browsers, but you could easily tweak this. * font.css - normalizes fonts across browsers * reset.css - normalizes elements across browsers (h1, ul, li, etc...), dealing with spacing and sizing I think for many designs, these are pretty useful base CSS files to build upon. I plan on testing these out in 2 upcoming sites I'm working on. And yes, the obvious caveat, this will never replace a true designer, but for something quick and easy, I don't think you can go wrong. ted

Drupal 4.7 Base theme [Something we can all agree to use and support]
by Trae McCombs 09 May '06

09 May '06

Howdy gang, I wanted to know the status of "Vancouver"? - 4.7 Flexibility - Regions, other features. - tableless - theme snippet library compatible - symantic html / css What I want -- and again, in the end, it'll need to be a comprimise, I understand that -- Is a clean, base theme that we can all use to build our custom themes on top of. I'm sure there are other goodies we should have in there too, but... we need something we can all grab and start using, and most importantly easily upgrade. I also suggest we make the name of this base something generic, such as: drupal-base-theme [DBT] ? heh Ideas?

Announcing DC Drupal Workshops
by Theodore Serbinski 08 May '06

08 May '06

That's right folks, Lullabot <http://lullabot.com> is coming to DC! We're going to be having 2 workshops <http://www.lullabot.com/ training>, the first being an introduction to Drupal and the 2nd being an indepth looking at theming in Drupal. Class sizes are kept small, only 20 people, so we can better accomodate each individual and their particular questions and needs. If you're interested, please sign up, registrations are going fast! As always, our goal with our workshops (and our podcasts <http:// www.lullabot.com/podcast> and videocasts) is to develop and create more Drupal developers to help alleviate the current shortage of Drupal developers :-) Thanks! ted -- Theodore Serbinski | Senior Web Consultant ted(a)lullabot.com | http://lullabot.com | 877-LULLABOT

box.tpl.php
by Barry O'Rourke 06 May '06

06 May '06

Hi, It's been a while since I last used drupal, maybe a couple of years. I'm putting together a theme for my new site and have come across a slight problem. I'm using rounded boxes for the nodes (that are created using a series of DIV's) and would like to do the same for pages like the contact and create content pages, I'm pretty certain that this used to be handled by the box function in the old theme system but i've created the box.tpl.php file and it doesn't seem to do anything? Am I doing this completely wrong or is it more likely that i've coded something up wrong. Here's the content of box.tpl.php: <div class="box"> <div class="box-top"> <div class="box-title"><?php print $title?></div> <div class="box-body"> <?php print $content?> </div> </div> </div> and here's the part of page.tpl.php thats relevant to calling up content: <div id="content"> <?php if ($tabs) { ?> <div class="tabs"><?php print $tabs></div> <?php } ?> <?php print $content; ?> <br /><br /> </div> Cheers, Barry

http://drupal.org/features Templating - Drupal's theme system separates content from presentation allowing you to control the look and feel of your Drupal site. Templates are created from standard HTML and PHP coding meaning that you don't have to learn a proprietary templating language. Detailed information links to --> How to write themable modules: http://drupal.org/node/306 Blocks Regions Variables available in theme template Additonal variables in theme template Customizable templates Customizing themes for node types, terms, sections, paths, and front page Theme functions What else should we describe?
