Hello Drupal community!

For one week I've been learning to code a website from 0 using XHTML, CSS (no php yet). I've then been advised to using CMS, so I've googled a bit for reviews on drupal, phpfusion, wordpress and others. I've found out that Drupal is the most preferred and has no limitations (i think all of them have no limits, but I bet drupal is the easiest to achieve desired results).

My project is a contest website. I'm trying to make a somewhat proffessional-commercial theme with some php scripting for things like, team management pages, a contest calendar/schedule, ticketing support system and some contest specific systems.

I've found various themes that would do well for the job, but I mostly prefer how Marinelli's theme looks.

The website I'm working on is located at www.usn.ro

I've opened this thread to ask for guidance in finishing this project, so I'll jump right in to the first questions:

I see that everytime I create content, either "story" or "page" content, they are displayed like blog entries.

1. How do I remove the "posted by author - date" and the "Read More" feature?
2. How do I remove the feature that automatically posts every page on the front page (if i make another page it's automatically posted on the front page)?

Yours thankfully,
Sergiu.

Dear
for the first question, you can hide this by css where you find the classname and put it(displafy:none) in the css file
as for the second question, when you create a new page , scroll down to the end of the page (before the submit button) and uncheck the option(promote to front page)

Hope this helps you...

I can't find a way to style the text in the pages. I see that there is an option "Filtered HTML". I tried to use a h3 tag to a line and it didn't to anything. Is it possible to use divs when you create content and to define them in CSS? If yes, in what CSS should I style it?

Actually I want to add other divs as well in the "content" div, so i can add pictures and style them.

Hi,

As far I understood,

1. You don't want a) posted by author - date & b) Read More link, right ? If yes, then you go the themes folder hopefully yours marinelli and edit the file node.tpl.php, please remove the below two blocks of code from there.

  <?php if ($submitted): ?>
    <span class="submitted"><?php print $submitted; ?></span>
  <?php endif; ?>

also

    <?php if ($links): ?>
      <div class="links"><?php print $links; ?></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

By removing this above this will not appear in the browser itself. I hope this would be the best way rather than hiding thru CSS

2. I hope you don't want to get promoted the story in the front page right ? if yes, then if you opt manually then while creating a story you might find a "Publishing Options" as fieldset, where you can uncheck the "Promoted to front page" option. This will not promote the pages to the front page. And suppose if you want it to do permanently then you might need to tweak some code to do this more better.

Hope I might have solved your issues. Please let me know if you still feel uneasy.
