New Drupal 6.4 site upgraded from 5.x with custom theme!
Hello,
I just went through the process of upgrading my business site from 5.x to 6.4 with CCK, Views 2, imagecache, fck, captcha, as the core pieces. Though it took some massaging I made the transition and wanted to show the goods. I am a user experience designer and also specialize in drupal themes, sites, etc... so have a look and feel free to post feedback.
The site: http://www.jeffreydalton.info
Be sure to check out the portfolio view: http://www.jeffreydalton.info/jeffrey-dalton-portfolio
I wanted to see if I could replace my custom node-portfolio.tpl file with just views 2 configuration and still have a real custom look and was amazed that I could pull it off... cheers to CCK and views 2 cats for the solid work. This view is autogenerated with imagecache so the whole portfolio setup from the front page thumbnails to this view to the individual pages are all autogenerated from one image upload.. pretty sweet indeed.
I plan to extend this quite a bit but I thought it was at a good point to share...
Peace,
Jeffrey Dalton

Very nice theme. I'd like to hear more about it if you decide to expound upon it.

Very Nice
Nice theme, was this based on Zen? I like the portfolio page, if you could explain how you created the portfolio view and if you could provide us a screen show of the portfolio view properties. Thank you

I tried working with Zen on
I tried working with Zen on a project once, but found I could just build from scratch and not have to deal with learning another framework. I like to build from ground up so I know every line of code in the theme and why it is there. (No offense to Zen i think it is a cool project.)
I am working on writing up the view, imagecache details... it was interesting learning and I think will make a useful page in the handbook... thanks for your feedback.
[UPDATE] going to hold off on writing this up. I used FileField CCK module add on and it is now broken with new Views2 update on my dev site so I need to see what's up before trying to write a how-to...
