Theme development

Hi All,

I have embarked on creating my own design (maybe eventually a template) for my drupal (blog) site.

I created the layout in html – www.veganarky.net/concept.htm – yet have had problems when inserting to code from the bluemarine template and saving as my xtemplate. I have never created a database driven site before… I am new to php, xml and drupal,

Hello everyone,

The usual story, new to Drupal, fighting the brain shift required to really *get* what's going on...but I figured I'd start with something that should be relatively easy.

Hi,

I'm using the Chameleon theme. I've added a Google ad banner to the top of my pages by simply adding a $output .= line to chameleon.theme immediately after my site logo. No problem.

I'm not a php expert and I don't know the drupal API very well, so hopefully someone can tell me quickly how to turn this banner off for certain URLs. I would like the banner to not appear on pages like /node/add/*, /admin/*, and a few others. Or if there's an altogether better way to do this, that would also be appreciated.

i am working on a pure css template for my drupal site. the theme is relatively thin so when i go to the admin settings page, some of the form fields (the text area boxes) are so wide that they push everything else to the right of it further down the page.

hi all,

i'm a newbie at this stuff, and i found drupal and its pushbutton theme as very friendly tools for people like me :-)

the question that i have is how can i remove logo, line and navigation names from the sidebar block. i've been tinkering with the pushbutton's xtemplate.xtmpl and sytle.css -- but couldn't find, or probably understand, which code that governs it.

can anyone help me please? specific answer or at least point me to the right location/file that governs it? thank you very much!

Flexinode is awesome. I can't say enough good things about it. That said, one thing that is bothering me is the admin forms. Is there a way to override the node creation form in theme templates?

For example, I have several textfields that only require 3 or 4 characters of input and i would like to group them all on one line, possibly even in a labeled fieldset. It would save screen real estate as well as improve usability for my clients.

Can this be done?
