page-front.tpl.php not visible
Vers. 7.0 Theme: Genesis Hello all, I've created my page-front.tpl.php page to allow me to style differently from the the site. Unfortunately it is not showing up. I've gone to: Home » Administration » Configuration » System and attempted to use the Default front page with no success. I'm using a local test platform, so have entered: http://sitename:8082/ but don't know what to add after that. I've researched it on this site, but seem to only get answers for drupal 5.0...... What am I missing or what have I done wrong. Any help and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated. PChuprina
Any time you add a new template in your theme directory you need to clear the Drupal cache. Did you do this? On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 9:45 AM, <pat@soligsoft.com> wrote:

Hi, Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes I did, a few times. I'm now getting a page not found message along with the background. Sorry to say, but I'm new and confused and not sure what to do. Is it my Default front page setting? Thanks PChuprina

What do you have set as "Default front page?" This should be a URL, not a file name. On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 10:01 AM, <pat@soligsoft.com> wrote:

I think that is my issue. I'm currently theming locally using Acquia, and am not sure what to put in there. Thanks ever so much for your help/input Pat Chuprina

Just to add to Carl´s & Laura´s comments: Be sure there is no code error in your new php file. If you are new to this you might just modify a tiny thing in your custom-made front page like a textual change. This way you can check if the systems works. If it does, you know everything is setup neatly and you can go-ahead and continue modifying your front page. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: themes-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:themes-bounces@drupal.org] Namens pat@soligsoft.com Verzonden: vrijdag 4 februari 2011 18:02 Aan: A list for theme developers Onderwerp: Re: [themes] page-front.tpl.php not visible Hi, Thanks for your prompt reply.

In Drupal 7, that would be page--front.tpl.php. (Two hyphens as delimiters.) For more theming tips for D7, look at http://drupal.org/update/theme/6/7 Laura On Feb 4, 2011, at 8:45 AM, pat@soligsoft.com wrote:

Thanks Laura, I've made that correction. Still wondering what my Default front page would be. At the moment it states: http://Soligsoft:8082/?q= *empty field* I just don't know what to put there. PChuprina

Maybe you are confusing two things: On this page http://example.com/admin/config/system/site-information You can enter a specific node to display as your front page. If you leave this field empty the page will per default show the normal content feeds (Nodes you create and that are posted the front page) In my case, this field is set to node/231 as this is my special front page. (I have clean URL, so no ?q=) But up to now you have only stipulated WHAT will be on the front page. When you start theming (by making a page--front.tpl.php file) you will decide HOW it (the content) is displayed. Hope this helps -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: themes-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:themes-bounces@drupal.org] Namens pat@soligsoft.com Verzonden: vrijdag 4 februari 2011 18:27 Aan: A list for theme developers Onderwerp: Re: [themes] page-front.tpl.php not visible Thanks Laura, I've made that correction.
