Theme development

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.

I'm not too strong in PHP, so I'm sure this is just a coding error on my part. I'm trying to have my forum nodes mimick the module nodes in layout and design. I've already done a bit of tweaking on the comment module and I'd like it to apply to forum nodes as well.

In my node.tpl.php I attempted to include an "if/then" statement, but I can't seem to get the syntax right.

I have something like this:

getting this msg: warning: Missing argument 3 for theme_menu_local_task() in /home/jwilde/public_html/ideascape/includes/menu.inc on line 696. each time I open a page with tabs on the node, eg, access control with the three tabs - permissions, roles, access rules. Any ideas? www.advancinginsights.com
