Theme development

Hi PPl. i am developing a site, http://www.livepunjab.com based on xtemplate theme. I want to put a custom login box(minimal) on top in the secondary menu bar. Can somebody please guide me how should i go about it. I have minimal knowledge of php and if guided can implement the suggestions. thanks in advance.

Hi folks, I am admittedly a new-comer to Drupal, but I am no PHP newbie or Smarty newbie.
I love the idea of being able to theme using the Smarty Engine, but I have a problem...
The theme development docs provide a nice example of how to theme flexinode using phptemplate, but I find no hints, tips or other sources of info about doing the same thing with the Smarty engine.

Can it be done? Has it been done? Can anyone help?
Thanks
Neil.

Built for use on a friend's blog site (Text quite possibly not safe for work), I have modified/mutilated the excellent FriendsElectric PHPTemplate theme to have light text on a dark background, an option which apparently very few people want, judging by the themes available.

Hi,

First things first: I know there are a lot of posts about this subject. I've searched in the forum for hours, but couldn't find a thing - since I'm not a programmer this kind of things are pretty complex for me :-\

Right now I'm developing a website, using Drupal for the first time. I have some newspages (news, articles and blog), and some static pages (webdesign, graphic design, digital presentations, about, contact).

Each page needs a different layout. My main headaches are:

• sometimes I want to use image x (eg for al the webdesignpages), sometimes I want to use image y (eg for all the graphic design pages).
• sometimes I need one or more basic drupal menus (eg "recent blog publications" and "recent comments" for blogpages), sometimes I need one or more custom menus (eg with the items "design" and "realisation" for webdesignpages).
• sometimes I need the menus in a division called subnavigation (eg the more important menus like "recent blog publications" and "realisation"), sometimes I need the menus in a division called content (eg the less important menus like "extras" and "links").

There are a lot of posts about "multiple templates", but I can't figure out how to do this. Can anyone tell me how to assign different templates to different contentpages - or vice versa?

I also read lots of posts about a section module. Does anyone know if this is a better solution?

I'm working on putting together a custom PHPTemplate theme for what is largely going to be a static site - the author will mostly be editing it only to update a "news & events" page. I (and he) will not want the login form to be visible to anonymous users on the site, so I'm working on hiding the "$left_sidebar" in the theme so that it's only visible while administering the site.

The tricky part is telling the theme where that is. So far, the best I've been able to come up with is:
