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!

Re: [development] New Themes for New Drupal
by Laura Scott 31 Aug '06

I'm just catching up on this discussion. I think Trae has made some excellent points. If I may add what may come of as snark to some folks here, I will just note: * Why does it have to be one theme? If 4 or 5 themes shipped with Drupal, average non-technical users would have some quick options. Fixed and variable alternatives could be offered. (I'm not a fan of fluid themes b/c of problems with readability, but that's just my own view.) * This thread on /theming/ has gone on for the better part of a couple of days, and not once has it been brought into the themes discussion list, which begs the question of how themes are to be evaluated, developed, etc. Just sayin'. Personally, I don't care at all for Bluemarine but have no big problem with the other core themes. I also like Box Grey enough to not hold its tables against it. ;) Laura

Bèr- I'm interested in theme testing. I just can't test HTML/CSS on PC/IE.

themes.drupal.org upgrade

Bèr- I think I'm qualified to do some testing now, though I can't test layouts for IE/PC. But I can review code and functionality.

WordPress Sandbox theme supports hAtom
by Chris Messina 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Just wanted to point out that there's a great "themer's theme" available now for WordPress that uses hAtom for its classes: http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/08/06/wordpress-makes-a-move-towards-hatom-… It'd be great to see the classes used in this theme end up in the default Drupal themes.

Annoyance with IE/CSS In Drupal Theme
by Jason White 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

I have a site that I'm working on and trying to get underlines on the tabs in the header. Look at this in IE vs. Safari/Firefox/NS and you'll see what I mean. Does anyone know of a good trick to get IE to respect the boundaries and line up the border-bottom with the bottom of the tabs? Maybe my structuring is off. The structure is something like ... #topbanner #header #logo (my own div inserted ... floated left of site-title #site- title (floated right) #shim (yeah ... a hack .. maybe this is my problem?) #primary (This is where I put the primray links in ul id="primaryLinks") #content-wrapper .... I'm trying to put the underline using border-bottom-* on the header (which wraps all of the header stuff) Also, in the admin interface, all the forms entries get pushed way down to the bottom instead of in the #main-content div .. but I'll have to come back to that later. TIA, Jason

themes.drupal.org upgrade
by Bèr Kessels 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hello all For tomorrow I have an upgrade of themes.drupal.org planned. And after taht I want to change some concepts on short basis. What will change during/after the upgrade: The themeswitcher http://themes.drupal.org/themeswitcher will dissapear completely. It looks like crap, is not used often (acc to the logs) and it is horrible in performance (no paging, no caching, read s files from disk to generate the listing etc. We should/must look at a PHP page on Drupal.org very soon, or else automate some project.module stuff to link to themes.drupal.org. After all: selecting/finding themes is not the task of themes.drupal.org We will have a completely skinned down Drupal on themes.drupal.org. Actually it will be a Drupal with only story.module, comment.module, a few published stories and a few comments. The rest are required (admin) modules. I will remove all other modules. This makes a horrible representation of themes/Drupal. Esp because the niceness of themes is not defined by how well they render a story (Drupal is far more then a blogging system). But by how well they handle the forums, aggregators and the admin area. How well they handle popular contribs such as images. We need to find a solutution for this! We *really* need some process to select themes. Currently I am the only one that manually reads trough theme code and the theme CSS/HTML to see if a theme is fit for themes.drupal.org. This leads to a) a huge lag, themes may be released for months before available b) a big security hole. I have only two eyes, and simply reading code is NOT a security measure. Simply trusting/installing committed and released contribs (themes) is not an option IMO on our infrastructure. In the current pace we will get approx 10-15% of the released themes online on themes.drupal.org without endangering drupal.org too much!
