shortcut for phptemplate variable printouts
by Farsheed 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi, In order to minimize the php code seen by a themer, I was wondering what people thought of making simple aliases for basic printouts of phptemplate variables. The phptemplate engine would go in and find these aliases and convert them to their actual values. BEFORE: <?php print $content ?> <?php print $sidebar_left ?> AFTER: {$content} {$sidebar_left} Just looking to reduce the amount of potentially intimidating code for new themers. Of course regular PHP should still work. Farsheed __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

css question - anchoring div to bottom of container div
by Jason White 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi all, Jason White here. I've been lurking on the digest for a while. I'm ready to ask and contribute now ... I think. Well, at least ask ;) I'm customizing a theme and need to anchor one div's bottom to the bottom of its container div for the purpose of tabs. Does anyone have a good css trick for that or any tips? I'd like to avoid absolute positioning if possible. The theme uses phpTemplate (Drupal 4.7). Below is a crude ascii representation of what I am after. ------------------------------------------- | | | parent div | | | | ---------------------------------------- | | 'child' div | ------------------------------------------- TIA, Jason

Patches 4.8 - New Theme.
by sime 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi This discussion moved from from the dev list. This is my suggestion for getting a new theme into 4.8. It makes the assumption (one that not everyone agrees with) that the best thing for 4.8 is to get a new "sexy/classy/corporate" theme - one that themers will generally avoid, but which non-technical users will appreciate in vanilla Drupal installation. 1. Someone with a good knowledge of contrib themes (ie. not me) creates a list of a dozen good looking (and reasonably coded) themes. 2. A public poll is created in the drupal.org forums, and the best design chosen. 3. The chosen theme goes into core, and then we hastily patch it to make it core-worthy. (or the other way round) Regards Simon

Override Functions Help
by Carl Parrish 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

I'm trying to understand Override Functions as described here - http://drupal.org/node/55126 so in my theme/template.php I copied function product_link() renamed it to burnt_product_link, change "add to cart" to "add to my cart", expecting to see the link change in my theme however nothing happened. any idea what I'm doing wrong? here is the full function. function burnt_product_link($type, $node = null, $teaser = false) { $links = array(); if ($type == 'node' && $node->ptype) { /* Determine whether or not the 'add to cart' link needs to be displayed. */ $item = module_invoke('cart', 'get_items'); if ($node->hide_cart_link == 0) { /* Right here we need to check if a given product type is in stock */ if (in_array('in_stock', module_invoke($node->ptype, 'productapi', $node, 'attributes', 'in_stock')) !== false) { // Is it already in our cart? if ($item[$node->nid]->qty) { $links[] = t('This item is in <a href="%cart_view">your shopping cart</a>.', array('%cart_view' => url('cart/view'))); } else { $links[] = l(t('add to my cart'), "cart/add/$node->nid", array('class' => 'cart_link', 'title' => t('Add this item to your shopping cart.')), drupal_get_destination()); } } else { $links[] = t('sold out'); } } } return $links; }

A quick question about tableless themes
by blogdiva＠culturekitchen.com 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

How different is the configuration of modules in 4.8? I haven't looked at it but am curious to know if styling has been completely taken out of the modules. I have to stick to 4.6 due to modules that have not been ported to 4.7 and one nuisance I have stumbled upon is all the styling embedded in the modules. I run at least 10 extra modules per site and have had to go into the modules and change the width of textareas over and over again. So I am wondering, how can you have a completely tableless design in spite of what module makers contribute? Because if the modules makers will still be embedding styinling in their work, wouldn't this defeat your purpose? Just curious. As to a 3 column style, I am using marvin_y2k for PHPTemplate and it suits me fine. Unfortunately, I see it has not been updated for 4.6 (although I am running it for that version) or 4.7. I suggest people take a look at it. It's a good variable width 3 column template that was easy to customize.

CSS only, 3 column equal height layout
by Sanduhrs 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Hello List, as we are discussing whether or not it's possible to provide a CSS only, tableless, 3 column equal height Layout, here is one [1]. It's easy to adjust to display one, two or three columns of equal height, each with different background [2]. What do you think of it?

Anybody else catch this post?
by Max Bell 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

http://groups.drupal.org/theme-development Just to de-lurk for a second and riff off of the "Drupal theming is complex" idea, is it just me, or does anyone else think this particular approach would wind up making a lot of work for the guy? Seems like too many changes in the pipe for theming, let alone everything else going on, that this would be especially practical. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
