Hi,

I'm a relative Drupal newbie. I have a site on Drupal 4.6 with a modified version of BlueMarine. Changes were made successfully to css and to xtemplate to achieve the "look" I wanted.

I've now installed Drupal 4.7 on a separate webhost site and wanted to port over the modified theme. Just uploading the modified bluemarine theme subdir into the themes directory does not seem to do the trick.

I did notice that the bluemarine version in 4.7 does seem to be php-based now where it was xhtml in 4.6. So what are the differences between theming in the 4.6 version and the 4.7 version and what should I do?

Last, let me add, I am very comfortable with html and css but do not know php... it's on the list to learn but I'm not there yet. So if your instructions include doing something with php, please be very precise.

Thanks in advance.

4.7 doesn't support XTemplate out of the box, you have to download it for XTemplate themes to work at all. I'm not familiar with it, but that should get you started.

Thanks for your reply. I uploaded the xtemplates engine into the engines subdir of themes and voila, there is my modified bluemarine theme as a choice in administer > settings > themes.

Now for some more tweaking.
