I just installed my drupal7 site and want to make it HTML 5 with this theme base.

Here is some of the changes in D7. It's not all but it's a start.

This should fix some problems in the page.tpl.php also.

Funny, I was just looking at doing a port 2 days ago! I'll check out your patches and see if it works.

Thanks!

It's not a complete port, it's maybe a start. I have done some of the changes that I know has been done with drupal7 like the naming of block-classes. I think that there are some more job in page.tpl.php needed though.

I'd like to get an HTML5 sub-theme directly into Zen 7.x-3.x (which is very nearly ready for a 7.x-3.0 XHTML release). I'd love to combine efforts.

Hey JohnAlbin,

That would be super awesome to have an HTML5 version of zen!

Quick question though, would this truly be strict XHTML? I'm not as familiar with the politics of mime-types, but I've read that HTML5 actually renders via a less strict mime-typing...

But we can move this discussion elsewhere to not hijack the thread if this is a deeper issue.

In case anyone is looking for it, here is the thread in Zen about this.

We have a sub-theme of Zen 7.x-3.1 as the theme of our site right now. We'd like to keep the same site design more or less, but make it run on HTML5. We have changed virtually nothing about the Zen theme in our sub-theme (no page template changes, etc.) -- really all we did was CSS changes. Given that...

1) How easy would it be to use the Boron for Zen sub-theme in place of our sub-theme. Could we just use our CSS files, make some minor find-and-replace changes to a few classes and ids, and would we be back in business?

2) Also, do the patches included in the forum topic bring the Boron for Zen updated to work with Zen 7.x-3.1? Other than this post, I can't find any releases of Boron for Zen 7 -- all just for Drupal 6. Is it just a matter of patching the Boron for Zen 6 sub-theme with these patches?

Eager to find out -- love our Zen theme and love the idea of running our site on HTML5.
