Theme development

I'm working on a port of a theme to Drupal (first time) using the PHPTemplate engine. I've got everything working, except that the form for commenting stretches over half the page. None of the other forms do this, and there's nothing in my comment/page template that would make this happen. . .is there any way I can define the width of the comment box?

Y'all will probably think i'm smoking crack for asking this. Has anyone ever printed the node authors name within a comment template? I'm suspecting that $node->name doesn't work because it's not calling the phptemplate_node() function when generating comments. I've tried phptemplate_node($name) and some other things too.

is there any site offers a collection of drupal v4.6 themes ? i saw all the themes in the themes section here in drupal.org but i didn't find a good one... is there any other sites offering drupal themes?

thank you

With the left and right sidebars I am able to show blocks on specific pages like /products* . I am wondering if I can still do something like this when I insert a block that is not located on the left or right sidebar. If I use the code:

$block = module_invoke('block', 'block', 'view', 4);
print $block['content'];

Is it possible that I can still make this only show on my products pages? Is there some type of thing I can add that uses the "Page specific visibility settings" in the database?

Thank you!

Hey --

If you plonk an unordered list into Primary Links using Themes > Configure, and add the following to style.css on Bluemarine, it formats the tabs quite nicely (bar a few pixels out here and there).

It works fine in Firefox, but IE is another matter: the whole list is shifted left, right margin starting in the middle of the page ... am I missing something here, or approaching this incorrectly? I'm only interested in the creating a simple "tab-style" nav without the active/non-active distinctions. I also don't want to dig too much into the template code.

I have an article that is around 2000 words long and was hoping I could split it up into 4 pages that each consist of 500 words. Is there some type of way I could dynamically add a "prev" and "next" link to the bottom of my articles without having to edit the actual page of each one. It would be pretty much like how it's handled on this site here. I have tried making book pages but that does not accomplish what I am looking for.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!
