Theme development

Have really enjoyed using drupal, though I had a few rough spots at the beginning. Now I'm glad I stuck it out. Do have one question I need help with however...

I'm trying to use php code in the "primary links" section of the Chameleon template but they don't take. I use them in several pages, and blocks, but really need to have more control over my primary links. Any suggestions?

I posted this in the main how to section but no answer. Maybe I should have posted it here first. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

Caveman

PS. I'm using 4.5

I'm using the Leaf theme, and find that it works fine using Firefox. However, when I use it in IE6, everything works ok EXCEPT that when I have a book page in view, the sidebar blocks get put down at the bottom of the screen, to the right hand side, instead of being at the top of the sidebar where they should be.

I'm not much on CSS and although I've tried hacking this about, I can't get it to work.

Any ideas welcome

I am in the progress of switching from the cumbersome Mambo, to the wonderfully simple Drupal, but I need a dark theme. My old Mambo theme, rhuk_planetfall, was a grey/orange theme, and I love the colors but am no good at HTML or CSS. Is anyone working on a dark theme or know of one for 4.6?

Thank you, Protoss

I've just installed Drupal locally, and played with it a little, so I'm a complete newbie.

I only found a rather old thread on tables as layout (dating back to 2002).

How can I find a theme that doesn't rely on tables at all and uses CSS (I don't know anything about PHP)? Eventually I'll learn how to create my own.

Three related questions:

- The Drupal website doesn't rely on tables at all but the default drupal theme included in the CMS does. Would it be possible to include a tableless theme in the next release?

Hi,

I have been trying to use the Blix theme, but on many pages, the sidebar ends up being placed at the bottom of the page after the main content. Does anyone know why this is? I have already tried the CSS fix at goodbasic.com, but it didn't work.

Thanks.

I am trying to get alternating row colors in image gallery listings (e.g. image/tid/16 (both gallery and image listings)). I've tried using $zebra in image_gallery.tpl.php but it doesn't work.

It seems like it should work like it does in taxonomy listings (e.g. taxonomy/term/40). The taxonomies actually use the summary version of the node itself, so I can use the $zebra variable in node.tpl.php.

But the image galleries don't seem to use the image node template at all.

Does anyone have any ideas?
