Theme development

I use Drupal 4.6rc and my phptemplate seems not to work anymore.
It says:
warning: Missing argument 1 for phptemplate_templates() in /home/thomas/www/themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine on line 62.
What can i do?

Hi, we are building our church site using Drupal and want to take a new theme and customize it for our use. We are looking for someone who could be a resource for questions etc. Please email me if you have experience customizing Drupal themes and feel you could be of assistance. If you have a link to share of work you've done, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Please email me at: newchurchwebsite@yahoo.com

Pay would be around $30 an hour.

Goal: Each comment should have no subject-based title whatsoever ( be it user created or auto-generated); instead, the title should be formed by the author's name and timestamp. The author's name should link to the author page and the timestamp should be the permanent link to this particular comment.

Examples of this convention in use:

I can turn off the subject field in the comment form but then it it just automatically generates a title for the comment which can be confusing and repetitive, especially for short comments.

I can use my theme's comment.tpl.php to remove the title, but when I do that, there is no way to link to the individual comment anymore because the $title variable has the link markup hardcoded into it. I can't access the timestamp and author's name separately because they appear to be hardcoded into the $submitted variable.

Are these comment variables really this inflexible? The type of design/markup I am trying to create is extremely easy to achieve in other systems(wordpress, mt, etc.), what's more, this kind of content design seems very common all over the web so I'm surprised it is so difficult to produce.

Hi

I don't want to create a flame war or a discussion about the above although I probably just have! This is my first post mainly because I use Xoops, Mambo once, Wordpress and my own developed cms. However, I would like to use a more full-on cms that is css controlled. Currently there is quite a discussion on the Mambo site re this very issue. With Xoops it is fairly easy to create a css site but then the modules invariable use tables for display! Wordpress and my own cms are pure css driven. Most excellent. You can see which way I lean!

Folks,

I love the Democratica theme but I'm having a few questions on how to preserve the layout consistency of the theme when adding custom blocks

Both left and right colummn blocks display a left aligned title and indented block body. Custom blocks, however, do not show this indentation.

I am trying to make custom blocks look similar to the "drupal generated" blocks. It probably only takes a few lines of code per block to make them look right. Alternatively (maybe even prefered) the custom blocks would use the same CSS definition for Drupal generated blocks.

I am not sure where this should go or even if it should be a feature request but here it is anyway because it may help some one and the info gets archived.

The link function l() is used throughout Drupal and contribs and has a failing that I could not find the CSS to solve.

the links porvided are in a series in the same container so they a get styled the same. I want to give certain ones different color and weight. But this
