I was currious if anyone hast tried to use MOO.fx's (http://moofx.mad4milk.net/) cool javascript menus with drupal. I think it could be a nice effect to be used with the right or left menus.

I've posted on this before, and I'm going to try various solutions to it on my (developing) site when I get a chance, but I just thought I'd put in a request. As people far smarter than I work on new themes, I hope that a few of them give some consideration to assembling themes, particularly in phptemplate, that use horizontal block regions.

Hi,

I've been working on a new site (4.7 using phpTemplate) which has a fairly standard layout with a Blog/Articles section and a forum. But I've been wanting the forum to have a different layout, the FlatForum module got me halfway there, but I need the forum page template to be different too.

So I made a little script in the page.tpl.php file to detect if the user was on the a forum page and deliver a different template if they were. Here is the code I'm using, it basically uses the url to detect if it is a forum page or if the node type is 'forum':

<?php

//////////////////////
// DETECT FORUM PAGE //
//////////////////////

$ukf_url_expode = explode('/', url($_GET['q'], NULL, NULL, NULL)); 
$ukf_url_expode_rev = array_reverse($ukf_url_expode); 


$ukf_url_nid = $ukf_url_expode_rev[0];

$sql = "SELECT vocabulary_node_types.vid
		FROM node, vocabulary_node_types
		WHERE $ukf_url_nid = node.nid 
		AND node.type = vocabulary_node_types.type";

$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);

if ($ukf_url_expode[0] == 'forum' or $row[0] == '1' ):


//////////////////////
// START FORUM PAGE //
//////////////////////
?> 

**Forum Template Code**

<?php 
///////////////////////
// START NORMAL PAGE //
///////////////////////

**Normal Template code**

<?php
 endif;
?>
else: 
?> 

So far it is working fine, but I'm a designer really, not a programmer (I just learn what I need to as I go along) so I'd like the opinion of someone more versed in PHP as to whether it is a good idea to use this system on a production site or if it is a horrible hack that'll cause me problems later.

Hi all,

I recently visited the joomla page, and I view one nice feature that I want to implement in my drupal system. Is the possibility of changing the background according with the taxonomy or path.

For example you can view this page from joomla.

http://www.joomla.org/ (orange bg)
http://www.joomla.org/content/blogcategory/0/33/ (blue bg)

Can this be done in drupal using a single theme?

Thanks, Simon.
