Theme development

I have a page with a minimal amount of blocks, and therefore a short sidebar. This makes my footer apear in the middle of my screen. Is there any way to stretch the sidebar(s), so that the footer will always appear at the bottom of a browser window?

Hey,

I'm trying to find a way to rewrite the XHTML generated for primary links. I'm using PHPtemplate engine. The reason I need to modify the XHTML is because I'd like to add a class "first" to the anchor in the first list item generated for the menu, so it would look like this:

Hiya guys,

Am having a bash at creating a theme override for the drupal forum to make it look different....just wondering if anyone out there has tried this yet?

Am using drupal 4.5.2...and using phptemplate..

The objective is to create a forum.tpl.php override file (or a series of overrides if required) so I can play around with the a layout a bit more..

Thanks in advance for any tips..

I'm currently creating a theme, and wish to have the avatars/pictures not appear in the polls. Is there a simple way to do this in the css file?

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I am attempting to change the string for the privatemsg module link for one type of node only. Currently the module includes a function which checks if the item is a node or comment (via variable "$type").

I, however, am trying to change it so that it is different for forum objects and nothing else.

I attempted to add a key to the array value by modifying the actual privatemsg.module ( see code )

If i define a new menu structure with menu.module - is it possible to access this from a phptemplate?

I wish to render the menu in a special way in HTML so need access to the structure - whatever form it comes as.
