Hi folks,
I want to conver wordpress theme Carrington Blog (http://carringtontheme.com/themes/) to Drupal 6.
I have read many post like this http://amadain.net/2007/11/10/convert-a-word-press-theme-drupal.I'm in the begging.
I understood that I must combine header.php, page.php and footer.php into on new file called page.tpl.php. In this new page.tpl.php file:
I have open header.php, page.php and footer.php but files was very stragne there was ony few line of code like this

if (__FILE__ == $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) { die(); }
cfct_header();

all three files had similar code, but all these files there are only this line of I don't know how to proceed
Here you can find and code http://carringtontheme.com/themes/ Carrington Blog
Could help me how to convert this theme.
Thank you very much in advance.

Have you tried without that line? Drupal won't know what to do with it therefore it likely isn't required.

Hello VM,

When i have open of three files i have found only this line of code. As i saw from tutorials there must to have more code. maybe this code is save to other place.

The files you need are in the /single and /sidebar and /whoknowswhatelse files - not to mention the functions.php file - it'll take a lot of work to get it done.

I'm pretty comfortable with basic drupal theming, but that theme is one I wouldn't even try to make into a drupal theme.

You could try using the drupal Zen theme, and creating a zen subsite using the graphics and work the Carrington CSS into it. (That would probably be the easiest.) http://drupal.org/project/zen

hi kenzol, I'd like to work with carrington & drupal too, is it possible to see an example site of your works with carrington on drupal, will you finish this theme?

Thanks for answering

if (__FILE__ == $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) { die(); }

This line protects the site against cross site scripting exploits via directly accessing the theme file when PHP's register_globals is set to on. Drupal does not support running with register_globals enabled, so you won't need this line.

Suppose your WP theme (example.php) is 

<div class="itis">
<?php echo $foo; ?>
</div>

An attacker could then request the file directly and fill $foo via http://example.com/example.php?foo=<script>exploitHere()
