Hello. Just installed Drupal7 and I thought I'd have a try with customising a sub-theme from Adaptivethemes. I followed to the letter the instructions on creating a custom sub theme. But then my whole screen went pink!

Any ideas what the output below means? I know I should be asking the creators of Adaptivethemes, but I wonder if this is a problem to theming in general.

The undefined variable notices tells me there may be files missing from the theme - you might want try uploading the theme again, there should be a number of files in the adaptivetheme/adaptivetheme/inc/ directory - these files are critical for the correct operation of this theme and if even one of them is missing something will go horribly wrong at some stage.

If you have issues and need support in the future please post an issue in the queue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/adaptivetheme you will get much better and faster support there than anywhere else.

I got this problem when I took the entire Seven core theme and placed it into my sites/all/themes folders. I renamed it to Seven_Admin, and made the appropriate changes to info file. I needed to do this because I like Seven for the admin theme, but needed to make some CSS changes to it.

Everything works except I get this notice:

"Notice: Undefined variable: secondary_local_tasks in include() (line 13 of /var/www/websites/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/sites/all/themes/seven_admin/page.tpl.php)."

Aha I forgot about renaming the functions in template.php

That seems to clear it up.

I am having the same problem. Could you include more detail as to what "that" was?

What would I need to rename? In template.php? I looked at it, but nothing jumped out at me. Granted, I am a php noob.

all functions that start with an incorrect theme name. However, I'd suggest generating a subtheme of seven rather than duplicating it.
