Theme development

i want to implement drupal cms system in my web site and so i want to implement my site's look and feel in drupal cms.please help how i will implement it.

Hey,

I am nearly finished my first PHPTemplate theme. Its been intresting converting my initial design to it, but I am almost there. All my nodes are themed in a particular way but some fo the static pages I want to me themed diffrently.

For example I want the agregrator to be themed diffrently. How would I go about doing this? An example would be great.

Thanks for your time.

I usually use xaraya, that has this useful feature of showing, in the html comments, which file is displaying that particular output. something like

<!-- start modules/login.xt -->
all the html output
<!-- end modules/login.xt -->

is there anything similar for drupal? it will help me a lot to create templates....

Hi, i want to be able to have rss articles displayed in a style like theregister. that is making them short and snappy blocks of 3 along and many down. how can i do it? i'll need to automatically summarise the length of the article, reformat it, and find a way of building a container for each article. but that should be okay once i've got a way of presenting the overall structure of the articles like theregister.

ideas on a postcard please...
thanks and regards

I want to move the left column of a 3 column theme to the center and move the main content to the left. Would this be done in:

a) the theme's php only
b) the theme's css only
c) both
d) it depends on how it was coded

Thanks for helping a newbie.

Hi there,

I tried searching, but didn't find anything that covered this.

I created a theme for a client, and in the node.tpl that I created, I changed:
<?php print $submitted?>

To:
By: <?php print $name?> - <?php print $date?>

The overall result was as expected, and worked great.

The problem is when editting which node types display the post info, no matter what settings are changed, the info is always displayed.
