red field and name of website

Same problems here Zeg; if I figure anything out I'll post it here as well.

I'm also puzzled by this - in the examples it is full of text, but I can't quite understand how they achieve this.

I am brand new to theming drupal sites, so take this with a grain of salt, but the red sqare doesn't seem to be defined as a region in which to drop blocks. I think this one is going to need some more work... Might make it my first project.

Hi Negs,

Looking at the PHP template it looks like the content in $messages is displayed there by default, but getting content into that variable doesn't necessarily seem the best way to go.

I added CCK to my install so I could define custom data fields, thinking I could create a field called "introduction" (that worked) and then display the contents of that field in the red area (haven't figured that out yet!)

I figured out how to address the issue based on what I needed the theme to do. What I ended up doing was redefining the regions in the .info file. I added two for the red box (red_left and red_right) or something like that. Then I took the messages and the tabs out of the red box in the php.tpl file and put in my newly defined regions. Voila it worked. Kind of surprised. You can check it out at test2.planforperformance.com to see if that's what you are trying to do too. I'd be happy to send my edited files, but I have since boogered them up a bit more trying to get some other stuff the way I want it.

Thanks for the idea! - I went to your site above and it just had the Drupal default but if you're willing to send the files to jim.racheff@dmsinc.com that be fantastic!

Thanks!!! -- Jim

In this threme variables for default regions Header, Footer, Left sidebar not placed in page.tpl.php. And no Red box region in database after install threme. I solve it by adding this lines to redfire.info:

regions[right] = "Right sidebar"
regions[content] = "Content"
regions[footer] = "Footer"
regions[rbtop] = "Red"
regions[rbright] = "Red - Right"

And place $rbtop and $rbright into page.tpl.php:

<div class="rbroundbox">
				 <div class="rbtop"><div>&nbsp;</div></div>
				 <div class="rbcontent">
					<div class="contents">
						<?php print $messages;?>
						<?php print $tabs;?>
						<?php print $rbtop; ?>					
					</div>
					<div id="panel-right">
						<div id="panel-right-inside">
						<?php print $search_box; ?>
						<?php print $rbright; ?>
						</div>
					</div>	         		
				</div>
				<div class="rbbot"><div>&nbsp;</div></div>
			</div>

It's very raw theme, but I like it! I hope for author don't forget about it.

Hi,

to display complete site name open style.css
find 
 #logo {
        font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Geneva CE', lucida, sans-serif;
        position: relative; 
        overflow: hidden; 
        width: 500px; height: 108px;
        font-size:230%;
        margin: 0;
        line-height: 108px;
        text-align: left;
      } 
change width=500px with width=100%

and to add text to red area to need to do changes in page.tpl.php.
find the code
<div class="contents">
                          <?php print $messages;?>
	  <?php print $tabs;?>
	  <?php print $breadcrumb; ?>  
              </div>

and change it with
<div class="contents"><h1>your text</h1>
                          <?php print $messages;?>
	  <?php print $tabs;?>
	  <?php print $breadcrumb; ?>  
              </div>
