Re: [themes] A Lesson to learned from Mollie template

I think it is an absolutely marvelous idea, however, I am not sure I have the experience and knowledge to code it. I think however, a diagnostic module that: 1. Has one of each node type defined in core 2. Has a few comment 3. Has a forum (and its replies) 4. Shows taxonomy terms 5. Shows all blocks in Core 6. Has some aggregated feeds 7. Is extendible (so that you can add blocks/nodes/whatever emitted from other modules) should suffice for this purpose. Regards, Kobus >>>>> [...] Something like the pot file generator that would pull all the themeable components into a single static html would be invaluable timesaver and make life a lot more easier for many themers. In addition, it would make the presentation of templates more clearer b/c people can see the themed site instead of a screenshot. Lastly, it make the themes more consistent b/c every core elements of core would be themed and we would won't end up with themes which choose to theme some modules and not others.

A Lesson to learned from Mollie template
by John Hwang 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

One thing I think we can learn from the mollie templates is the value of having a single static HTML page with all the basic html elements in place. With all the different components of a site in a single page, makes it not only easier for new designers know what all the different elements that should be themed, but it also allows the customers/users see the whole theme on a single page. One of the hardest thing, I found when I first started working on drupal was figuring out all the different components that were available not only in core but also the contrib. Something like the pot file generator that would pull all the themeable components into a single static html would be invaluable timesaver and make life alot more easier for many themers. In addition, it would make the presentation of templates more clearer b/c people can see the themed site instead of a screenshot. Lastly, it make the themes more consistent b/c every core elements of core would be themed and we would won't end up with themes which choose to theme some modules and not others. I'd like to hear other people's opinion about whether creating a statis page for theming agains is a good idea. -- John Hwang

theme wishlist?
by David Reed 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

I started this forum thread as a place to capture designs that people would like to see ported to Drupal and also a place for theme developers to "volunteer" for some of the porting work. As you can see the thread has gotten quite long. At last count (and I think I'm a little behind) there have been 25 designs suggested (including the Millio design discussed on the dev list), with 14 designs having a volunteer, and at least 4 (maybe 5 completed). My question to the community (and the maintainers of themes.drupal.org) Should this list be moved to themes.drupal.org? Is there value in maintaining an ongoing wish list of desirable designs? If we think there is value but we don't think it belongs on themes.drupal.org then any suggestions for a home?

Which makes it even easier. Nice. > It becomes a LOT simpler to write a theme editor, Not so excited about that one. I've got BBEdit, Smultron, Dreamweaver, Quanta Plus and CSSED. Professional tools win out over in page editors every time :) Still, I can see that certain people and companies using Drupal would welcome that. > it becomes possible to distribute alternative template files, like > different node views etc. That's also excellent! I don't suppose we could also say that modules don't need to ship with their own CSS files could we? -- Adrian Simmons (aka adrinux) <http://adrinux.perlucida.com> e-mail <mailto:adrinux@perlucida.com>

On Mar 8, 2006, at 3:36 AM, Adrian Rossouw wrote: > http://www.mollio.org/ > > please =) In our administration research we identified themes as the most difficult part of working with Drupal. So we set up a themes(a)drupal.org mailing list to build a focused community to address theme issues. Unfortunately, it's not really taken off because people(Adrian, Ber, Nick this week alone) keep posting theme related issues to the development list. There hasn't been a new post since Feb 26th on the themes list. I'll leave it to your discretion where to post but Drupal themes mailing lists need support. As a side note we have people demanding that new mailing lists be set up for events management but at the same time existing lists like documentation and themes are running at or close to idle. It's pretty hard to keep defending that Drupal work be coordinated through drupal.org if we don't even use our own tools.

Drupal Installer - CSS suggestions
by Trae McCombs 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

Hi gang, I have spent about 30mins going through the css for the installer. In general, it's not very pretty and hard to read things. I put in little spacing here and there to help with things, as well as a wee bit of color. Please check this out: http://drupal.org/node/48732#comment-75934 You'll see my suggestions there. Please let me know if I need to do something to get these changes in.... I don't know what I should do. Thanks, Trae -- Trae McCombs || http://occy.net/ Founder - Themes.org // Linux.com CivicSpaceLabs - http://civicspacelabs.org/

fancy theme mod help
by Erik B. Ebright 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hey Plp, 1st big thanks for helping me out with the drupal theme Q&A. I have used the fancy theme for my site http://rootsnetwork.org, and thought I would share it with you. Also there is one super quick question that I have, and that is how can I remove the white space in the block title tab area. Really I just want to make it match my bkgnd color, and not white. Any help where I would change that in the block.css file? Here is quick link to the file for your personal reference http://www.rootsnetwork.org/v1/themes/fancy/blocks.css or maybe it's in http://www.rootsnetwork.org/v1/themes/fancy/style.css Thanks SO MUCH! -Erik E>
