By dreed47 on

In response to bradlis7's suggestion on another posting, here is my wishlist of designs to port over to Drupal themes. Who know's I may get around to porting some of these myself but in the mean time if anyone else finds any of these interesting and wants to do a port, go for it.

Also, feel free to add yours to the list, or add your vote

I'm nearly done with leavesv1 - OSWD (preview) but much effort has been rerouted to a module. Expect it next week.

I think a little coordination is nice; it's no fun when two people unknowingly work on the same theme.

Leavesv1 is completed (OSWD preview) and can be downloaded from my site until we find some solution for non-gpl'ed themes.

Edited to add; the author 'demands' a link to his site; that means the design is not GPL.

Here's a few I'd like. Unless someone jumps at them, I may find time to work them up.

+1 NoProb
+1 Grass Stains

I'm working on NoProb. It's in the CVS, and still being finished up.

Just thought of this yesterday. Grass Stains is mostly done. I've applied for CVS and hope to have it ready to post when I get access. In the meantime a working, if still a bit rough, version will be available for download shortly from my site.

+1 for No Probs
+1 for Grass Stains

Also, here's one that someone might want to take a look at. The Marvin 2K theme for phptemplate has not been worked on since Drupal 4.5. It seems to work with 4.6, but it might be worth checking to see if it will be supported in 4.7 since it's a good theme and hasn't been updated in 16 months (see CVS). See it in action.

Major kudos for the work you've been doing on these conversions, der.

I'd probably put my +1's in for Channel Nine, with Blueberry Boat as a close secont. Channel Nine is interesting because it offers a variation on the usual 'left column, right column' layout. If the left 'callout' block were a separate PHPTemplate region, it would be especially cool...

I plan on porting Almost Spring and Branches.

During the process I will compile Wordpress-Drupal porting process notes. Taking a brief look into the porting process it seems there is an underlying mapping - as well as an opportunity for refactoring.

kbahey commented

Excellent work der. There is nothing that can help Drupal more than more themes.

Keep them coming ...

My personal preference is fluid 3-column designs.

Here are some worth porting to Drupal:

Too bad OSWD does not have a selection by fluid/fixed.

At random, I am working on Pistachio (not really a favorite, but I'm forging ahead anyway). You can see the progress here: http://beta.blkmtn.org The three column works but not cooperativily with the admin section. Also some things (aggregator output) get pushed below the end of the left column. Need to figure that out but so far it's about a days work.

Also for others, in addition to the handbook theme developers guide take a look at Bryghts conversion doc.

Page and node are ported; style.css as well. As this is my first theme (port) I will want to test quite a bit. I suspect an initial version should be ready by March 3.

I have no ETA on Branches yet. Btw, I just renamed my username from m1ngsheng.

Hi all,

I am just new here and I want to put share the template to cvs.drupal.org. Would you please show me the link to some howto documents about cvs.drupal.org?

And I want to be the volunteer of the following templates

And yes, I will also work on Andreas Viklund's templates (http://www.oswd.org/designs/search/designer/id/6205/) too.

You need to create a branch. If I'm not mistaken, it should be packaged and published automatically after that. Don't know for sure though.

Thanks again.

I created a branch. However, it only shows in the cvs tab of the theme download page. How can it be shown on the 4.6.x tab?

I checked the cvs tree. It seems that everything goes fine.

While I try to modified my project page, in the Issue information section, I can only select cvs as the default version.

Am I missing something ?

dreed47’s picture

dreed47 commented

I think there have been several recent issues with the CVS package job. I have found that if you wait a day or two it usually gets the packages built correctly. You can always shoot a message to the infrastructure mailing list if you think it's not working correctly.

robonoob commented

I have add another theme Plain1 into the cvs repo and correctly tagged as I checked the branch DRUPAL-4-6 shown in the cvs tree of the theme.

However, this time, the project is not shown on the theme download page cvs tag.

Is it also due to the recent issues with CVS package job?

Here is my update.

I had the same problem, because I have a very narrow theme but solved this by overriding the following form selectors:

/* Fix forms wrapping under the sidebars */
.node-form .standard {
  clear: none;
}
/* Cosmetic fix */
fieldset.collapsible {
  width: 91%;
}

leavesv1 is essentially finished; only need to cleanup (refactor) & write a readme.

No Probs is pretty much complete, except maybe a few bugs here and there. I actually wanted it to be released a long time ago, but I think it didn't since I didn't have the license on the project page. I think it's fixed, and should be on the site shortly.

Be sure to submit any bugs if you have a problem with something.

I'm so pleased that finally more themes are being created for Drupal. I've tried on several occasions to modify existing themes to my liking, but even changing basic layouts is beyond my knowledge.

From the 34 designs mentioned in the previous post JayKay's Plain1 gets my top vote.

More specific:
- soft white
- channel nine
- any of the Andreas themes
- the gallery (even though it has an M$ feel to it)

...and less specific:
I've been coding for almost 20 yrs. When I look at the Drupal code, I see lots of room for improvement. When I consider the framework I see so much potential. There are so many types of sites that would/do benefit from Drupal...so I should like to see a diversity of these (and other) themes be added to Themes

I do not want to be specific because i'm sure there are some of those templates that would be drupal-like already and easier to theme. I really like to see most of those templates become drupal themes.

For me, Andreas' and Jaykay's are the top priorities and then haran's.

One friendly mention.... Just a note so to speak

Several of the themes mentioned above have requirements to have links in them to the designer/originators website. Just a reminder.

Aslo, if the theme is to be hosted on Drupal.org after conversion, it must be GPL'd. Please make sure your source allows for it.

Themes with requirements to have links to a designers website are not GPL, so they can't be hosted on drupal.org.

A central location for themes or a list at least would be very nice.Perhaps they can be featured on theme garden with a link to the theme package?

Dear Mr,
I'd like "think different" because it clearly differentiates the text from the navigation bar that it is not distracting. It's interesting to textual - informational sites. Some other themes are close to "think different" but none is as much efficient concerning this topic.
Sincerely.

Ogredude’s picture

Ogredude commented

OK, I've cooked up a 3-column layout structure, which I have used on a couple Drupals now with great results.

Features

  • Semi-fluid width. It's fluid between 750px and 1024px. These widths can be changed in the CSS.
  • One, two, or three column layout. This can be changed in the CSS.
  • Fixed-width side columns, fluid content column.
  • Columns are not source-ordered. Change the order of columns in the CSS.
  • Equal-height columns.
  • Vertical grid in columns, place objects vertically however you'd like.
  • Cross-browser compatible. Works in everything, except maybe Netscape 4 and IE5/Mac (but who cares about them?)
  • Valid CSS and XHTML. (Actually, change the !DOCTYPE and it'll be valid HTML.)
  • Minimal presentational styling, separated from structural markup. Make this look however you want.
  • Freely available to all who want it.

Feel free to grab it, rip out what you don't want, alter it however you want.

It's up at http://www.atlas-systems.net/jello.html

I tried to separate the presentational styling from the structural styling as much as possible, and I've tried to comment my code as well as I could.

If you come up with any improvements on this thing, please let me know!

Enjoy!

there is a value 10240px is this correct or should this be 1024px.

jbrauer’s picture

jbrauer commented

Grass Stains is largely done see this post. There are two things that remain and will hopefully be done by 3/3. The Admin pages are too wide and the right edge is lost under the boxes on the right. The other issue is getting permission to GPL the theme.... OSWD does not have a GPL and the Grass Stain theme doesn't mention which of the two licenses applies.

I like:
Sonia - having 2 columns at the top, then going to 3 columns lower on the page is different.

Channel Nine - You can get a lot of content into 4 columns. The sidebar area is perfect for RSS feeds, site update posts, subscribing to a newsletter, etc.

Essay_3col - Very professional looking, and plenty of room for content. It says you can download it and use it for a personal or commercial site, modify and distribute it. Just don't claim it was made by anybody but him.

A4Premium4 - Nice layout. I like the picture bar at the top, it would work for all kinds of sites. Anybody could just add different pictures for a bit of instant customization, so all sites with it don't look the same. it says it's free to use, no questions asked.

Out of Andreas' designs, I like o6 Falling Leaves. It's a good-looking template, and the nav tabs at the top are very useful. It's open source.

Grass Stains is very close to complete and can be found here.

Most things work, however there is one snafu. The form for adding terms to taxonomy the Description: and Synonyms: text areas don't display properly. I'm a bit stumped as to why they're not displaying in the same way as other "textarea resizable" portions of the theme. Any of the brilliant CSS folks out there have ideas?

But I am in a holding pattern because I am waiting to here back from original designer to hear if they are comfortable with andreas09 being GPLed. The wordpress andreas09 port is not GPLed, so I am concerned that the designer may not be interested in there work being GPLed.

IMHO, this is a big problem with oswd.org, they don't use explicit licenses and it is very difficult to determine how the designer is releasing the work a lot of the time.

I unforntunately am not a drupal guru and do not know the ins and outs of creating a theme. I found a designer that I like and would like to see his themes added to this list. His themes can be found here:

http://www.oswd.org/designs/search/designer/id/8377/

Also he has a theme that is not yet listed on oswd but can be found on his home page. It is the "Even Tastier Blue" theme that can be found here.

Thanks for considering these themes.

I found a couple of really good designs on OSWD:

But some of them state that you have to keep the link to the designer at the bottom of the template. I am wondering if everyone here is playing by these rules?

Either way, I would like to see a theme similar to Nautica 2.2 (my absolute favorite):
http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2828
and Industry (a very good looking simple layout):
http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2720

Both are fantastic. They stand out from the rest. Many of the suggested templates in this thread look alike.

As all others I don't have much time, but if all goes well I will pick up one of the two and try my luck (my php/css/html knowledge really sucks, so it will really take a while).

So why bother with some of the suggested themes then? I feel that this seriously limits the usefulness of these themes, at least for professional applications.
How much (if any) code can one copy from one of those designs to create a new one?

And what about that one:
http://drupal.org/node/52018
The original has a copyright notice, the drupal screenshot doesn't show it. And its hosted on drupal.org!

Because you may like a theme? I host one converted theme myself for example (Leavesv1; I'm a biologist). I'm converting a theme because I like it and to increase the number of themes available to Drupal. Whether such theme is useful for professional applications is not my concern.

As to the internet center theme, it's in the public domain (read license.txt provided with the download)

dreed47’s picture

dreed47 commented

I'll have to go back and double check the Internet center design but when I look for themes to port on OSWD (or any where else for that matter) I try to find out if the author has any specific requirements for the designs use. If they say "any use" without REQUIRING attribution on the web page then I assume the resulting Drupal theme can be GPL'ed and thus hosted on Drupal.org. If they require attribution you could always email the author and ask if they would be willing to let there be a GPL'ed Drupal implementation of their design (which would mean no attribution required). If you're unsure if a given design could be GPL'ed your best bet would be to get a clarification from the author.

As for any that I have converted and hosted on Drupal.org if anyone finds that they can't be GPL'ed (my bad) I'll remove them and host them myself. In one or two cases I got clarification/permission from the author and posted their response with the theme files.

In any case, ANY OSWD can be converted to a Drupal theme.

License.txt says it's in the public domain, this means that the drupal theme can be GPLed.

I don't mean copying it 100%, I mean designing themes that are based on those layouts with similar text/fonts. They are professional designs, not that the ones on OSWD are not professional. There are some good ones like Internet Center & Internet Jobs which have already been ported. I'm assuming we call even pay a some amount to the designers (or donate to Drupal.org.) who have ported the themes as long as they are donated to the Drupal community.

Anyway, here are some other themes to add to the wishlist.

There's a fine line between inspiration and imitation when it comes to creating a new design. Noone want's their hard work "stolen" but most designers wouldn't mind their work inspiring new creative designs incorporating similar design concepts as theirs.

As I said before: "How about some designs based on some popular sites like CNN.com..." as in similar layout, maybe similar fonts/colors. Not a 100% rip, which I don't think would even be possible.

Are the graphics and associated style sheets available for download somewhere? Porting to Drupal without these would be tough as you would be stating from scratch.

The author of that post replies to a similar question here.

In short: there are no files available.

Fabio.Pedrazzoli commented

Yes it is, no other files available, for now.
Hoping in the future we, or someone else who likes these themes, could have some spare time to go on with development.

Bye

    First of all, thanks for taking the initiative to do this :) Some really excellent themes here.

    Secondly, while my design 5k1ll5 aren't hot, I should be able to handle a port. So, please mark me down for "3c Black Letterhead".

    I have had a go at porting Multiflex, which is very similar and by same designer: http://www.openwebdesign.org/viewdesign.phtml?id=2827

    Currently in the cvs repository.

    I was just looking at Zen Gardens yesterday, and noticed that they provide CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 licenses for the CSS. Certainly, some of these CSS implementations might be difficult to make work with Drupal. Yet while the odds are not as good as they are for the OSWD themes, seems like it might be worth asking some of the Zen Gardens people if they would allow release under a CC Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 for the CSS *and* the graphics with a link included in the footer back to them. Or even better, the GPL. You never know. The designer might be flattered and figure they could get a lot of mileage with the exposure. There are some great themes, there.

    BTW: The reason I thought of this is that David Shea and Molly Holzschlag mention Drupal on page 117 of The Zen of CSS Design.

    I want to ask all theme authors to remember to make screenshots according to the Theme screenshot guidelines.

    If you publish your project on Drupal.org, please include a project thumbnail (for display on the themes page) as well.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hear, hear....

    But then, it would also be nice if every contributor could also make the screenshot part of the project-page (showing the picture in the upper left-corner) with the <img src=... tag....

    I understood that having this "fixed" by a site maintainer renders the project uneditable after that...

    I have completed grass stains, but unlike Josh B I havn't stuck to the orriginal design perfectly. Instead I have given two sidebars, added a search box to the top, and put the widths into % instead of absolute. The theme has been tested on:

    Firefox: 1, 1.5, 1.7
    IE: 5, 5.5, 6,
    Safari: 2

    It can be seen at http://www.philosophy.answerz.be (be sure to check out the forums), and can be downloaded at http://www.philosophy.answerz.be/node/76

    Who do I contact to put this up on the drupal.org themes page?

    A version of Grass Stains very close to the original is here.

    Unlike the original it does not wrap text under the right column. This is a trade-off because it does show images properly in the content column. If the text wraps around the right column it causes pictures to be placed immediately below the right column because of the clear:both/clear:right CSS settings that are necessary.

    A sample in operation can be seen on the Adding Understanding blog below.

    Hi,

    Thanks for all that you're doing on porting themes to Drupal. Found this theme and thought it would be a good theme for non programmers to make easy mods...

    Durable puts site users in control of page colors, allowing them to create their own personal themes for the site. Each element of the page is editable in real time; the user can select the colors for backgrounds, text and links.

    Administrators of the site can go a little further. Their color choices can either be saved as a personal theme, or saved as the site’s new theme so that all users will see their color selections.

    The color selection is done via the “Options” menu, visible in the menu bar of every page, and colors update as soon as they’re selected thanks to the very cool ColorMod color selector..

    Here is a screen shot and demo of the Durable Theme

    It looks like it is released on the Creative Commons license. I'm not sure if this is compatible with the GPL.

    This means bidirectional for languages that are written from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew and other Semitic languages.

    bidi = bi-directional
    ie. has support for RTL (right to left) as well as LTR (left to right) languages, the most famous of which are arabic and farsi. i am not sure but i think israeli is also rtl.

    what happens is when u switch languages in a bidi them the whole site gets to look as tho its in a glass mirror. the login block goes from the left to the right etc.

    post nuke i believe built rtl support into the engine itself.

    Hi Der,

    Can you give us an update on which themes have been completed?

    I checked Andreas01 (marked as completed) but got a 404.

    Also, does anyone know whether it's possible to add a "themes under development" node (essentially just the latest version of this list) and attach it to the main themes page on drupal.org? That would make it easier for everyone to find and we'd probably get more people volunteering to port themes on the list. At the moment you have to go searching through the forums to find the list, so most people probably miss it.

    This list was a great idea by the way. I'd love to see the Nautica themes (already on the list) ported. I'm a Drupal newbie though, so won't be attempting any theme porting just yet!

    Cheers, goosey
