Theme development

Hi,

I'm running a quite large non-profit website that currently are converting to Drupal from another CMS. We have no understanding of Drupal-theming and need a new theme developed rather quickly. We have a couple of themes we like (FriendsElectric, Kubrick, SpreadFireFox) and we're looking to do some modifications of these themes to fit our need - or develop a new theme from scratch with these themes as a sample.

My node.tpl.php file is extremely over-crowded (making exceptions for different node types). I'd like to clean it up by creating seperate template files for each node type (as mentioned in the new PhpTemplate engine functionality).

Adrian mentioned that he was going to backport this a few days ago, but I have heard nothing yet. Is it done? Can I download the CVS version and will it work on 4.5.2?

Thanks a million for the awesome engine!

Below is a site I am setting up. This link leads directly to the area in question.

http://72.9.242.6/article

When you click on one of the article categories ("Biographies, Politics, Literature, etc.) A list is displayed of all articles in that category. As it is now (example: http://72.9.242.6/article/literature ) it lists the title, the teaser, and the $links below it.

I'm curious if someone might want to help me with the TODO issues I have for my occy theme. I'd like to be able to get it working with 4.6, as well as fix several things like making $slogan and $footer work and such.

If you are interested in helping with this, feel free to drop by #occy on irc.freenode.net

PS. The theme is located under the Drupal themes. And is called, occy. :)

Hi All,

I am very new to Drupal and am looking for some help with template development. All I need the template to do is have a static theme (header, footer) with a content area that is editable. I do not need any of the other functions / modules that are available in Drupal.

I have tried playing around with phpTemplate, but it seems to break when I remove the php variables that call the standard Drupal functions...

Any ideas how this is done?

Thanks!

I am looking to remove "post new topic" on the main forum taxonomy page (ie, www.mysite.com/forum). I would, however, like "Post New Topic" to appear on individual forums (ie, www.mysite.com/forum/1). Can anyone tell me which function I need to override or modify to accomplish this? Has anyone done this?
