Making front page and other pages identical (image)

In template.php file change the following on line 296:

Replace: $rounded_regions = array(sidebar_first);

with this: $rounded_regions = array(sidebar_first, sidebar_last);

For the border issue, you can change the CSS border to be on the right part of the page, rather than the left size. I would suggest changing the margin too. Here is the code that worked for me in the CSS file:

body.layout-first-main #content {
  border-right: 1px solid #444444;
  padding: 30px 30px 30px 30px;

Hi, great theme! But I've got problem.
I've tried this(#1), but it doesnt work. How can I make the frontpage and other pages identical? Problem is only in left sidebar(#sidebar-first) only in block's design. As you can see in atached images.

thx

I don't remember exactly what I did to get it to work, but it has to do with the CSS file for front and not-front pages. I believe this code should help for the internal pages:

/* block not-front */
body.not-front .block-wrapper {
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

/* block not-front content-top */
body.not-front #content-top div.block-wrapper {
  background: transparent url('images/content-top-bg.png') repeat;
  color: #000;
  margin: 76px 0 0;
  padding: 10px;
}

body.not-front #content-top div.block h2.title {
  background: none;
  font-size: 1.4285em;
  padding: 0 0 4px;
  text-transform: none;
}

I don't think, that only css code can fix it. There's a difference between block code.

block.tpl.php is used only on homepage. And I really don't know how to change it.

Not sure of everything else I did but I basically copied this from the style.css:

/* front-page sidebar-first blocks */
  body.front #sidebar-first .block h2.title {
    background: transparent;
    font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,"Bitstream Vera Sans",sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.4285em;
    font-weight: normal;
    padding: 0;
    text-transform: none;
  }

and added it to my local.css except changed "body.front" to "body.not-front" like so:

/* front-page sidebar-first blocks */
  body.not-front #sidebar-first .block h2.title {
    background: transparent;
    font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,"Bitstream Vera Sans",sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.4285em;
    font-weight: normal;
    padding: 0;
    text-transform: none;
  }

This works in conjunction with deleting the page.tpl.php file and then renaming the page-front.tpl.php file to page.tpl.php and also deleting the "is front" statements from the block.tpl.php file.

Also, adding this puts the blocks the same distance as the rest:

 /* block not-front */
  body.not-front .block-wrapper {
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

I am really not sure what is going on yet but I think Drupal by default adds the classes, "front" and "not-front" to the body tag and this is where things get confusing. Someday I will figure it out.

Disclaimer: I am a Drupal (and CSS) noob. If the above helps you, great, if not, sorry. I am posting this here as a "note to self" as well as to possibly help anyone else.

I just got rid of page.tpl.php and changed page-front.tpl.php to page.tpl.php and so far it's working... It's only been 5 minutes so I can't guarantee there's no gotchas doing this but I thought I'd throw it out there as an easy fix.

I did two things to make this work:

1. Copy this into local.css

/*Make not-front blocks look like front blocks*/
body.front #sidebar-first .block h2.title, body.not-front #sidebar-first .block h2.title {
background: transparent;
font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,"Bitstream Vera Sans",sans-serif;
font-size: 1.4285em;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 0;
text-transform: none;
}

body.front #sidebar-first .block h2.title .first-word ,body.not-front #sidebar-first .block h2.title .first-word{
font-weight: bold;
}

#sidebar-last .block h2.title {
background: none;
font-size: 0.9375em;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

2. remove "$is_front AND " from lines 7 and 27 in block.tpl

I found a slightly different way around this as the ways above were not working for me much to my dismay.

I changed page-front.tpl.php to page-tpl.php as suggested. I also left the original page-front.tpl.php in there.

Then in the page.tpl.php code I removed a few lines:

      <?php if ($preface_sidebar || $mission) : ?> <--- remove this line --->
      <div id="preface-wrapper" class="clearfix">
        <?php if ($preface_sidebar): ?>
          <div id="preface-sidebar">
            <?php print $preface_sidebar; ?>
          </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <?php if ($mission): ?>
          <div id="mission"> 
            <?php print $mission; ?>
          </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
      </div><!-- /preface-wrapper -->
      <?php endif; ?> <--- remove this line --->

so you end up with:

      <div id="preface-wrapper" class="clearfix">
      <?php if ($preface_sidebar): ?>
          <div id="preface-sidebar">
            <?php print $preface_sidebar; ?>
          </div>
     <?php endif; ?>
        <?php if ($mission): ?>
          <div id="mission"> 
            <?php print $mission; ?>
          </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
      </div><!-- /preface-wrapper -->

I did this as I wanted the large image, but I did not want the mission or the grey bar to print on top (I want to change my mission on all pages...next challenge, I also want to change the image for every page, another challenge)

Anyway I hope some people benefit from my discovery.
