Hi,

Anyone interested in a project for custom development? I would like to convert a non-drupal template to drupal. thanks.

I have finished the bulk of my starter theme, hacking an existing phpTemplate.

It generally looks and works very well. Once I'm off the front page, though, I run into some difficulty with how various pages are displayed. The personal messaging compose page, for example, wanted to break the page by extending too wide.

I've dealt with these issues by analysizing the classes and IDs from the source of each page as it is displayed--and writing CSS to set the appropriate places. In the case of the PM page, the textarea was too wide and breaking the page.

New to Drupal, have researched much.
I'm wanting to choose a css layout theme (using phptemplate) with clean code + best practices, as a base to develop from. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I'm not developing an official theme, it's just for one site.

Also, what is the status of the theme garden at: http://themes.drupal.org/ which seems to have been down since summer. That would be a great resource.

I'm excited to dive into the drupal learning curve!

Anyone know where I can find the documentation for Marvin 2K - want to take it as the base to develop a new theme but I can't find ANYTHING that tells me how the structure, CSS etc hang together. It's as basic as this - replace existing Drupal logo.png - doesn't show up?! Does the fact the Drupal logo.png used is a clickable object/area have anything to do with it?

As with most things Drupal - driving me nuts - but I'm persevering on sleep deprivation + coffee!

I want the user to select a background image for a theme, thus not using a style sheet. I want to user to choose a background when configuring the theme. But I haven't found a way to get extra settings on the theme settings page. So I decided to use the primary links for this (But if someone can tell me how to add extra settings on theme admin page, I'am using phptemplate engine, I will be very happy). But how can I access only the first primary link of the $primary_links variable in page.tpl.php. I tried $primary_links[0] but that didn't work.
