Theme development

To get a nice effect with your BreadCrumbs open your /themes/xyz_theme/style.css

>>Find ".breadcrumb"

>>Add below:

.breadcrumb a {
  padding: 2px 6px 2px 6px;
  border: solid 1px #ccc;
  background: #eee;
  color: #666;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 10px;
}

.breadcrumb a:hover {
  color: #eee;
  background: #666;
  border-color: #ccc;
  text-decoration: none;

That's it! Simply use your own background, color, and border for different colors. >-)

Hi guys,
I'm trying to display the actual date in a theme based on Pushbutton.
Is there a way to do it?
Moreover are there any other variables than the ones listed in the drupal handbook?
Where can I find them?
Thanks in advance,
Riccardo

OK, I'm a little confused at the minute. Could still be lack of sleep but...

I'm working on a custom theme for my site, which I would like to keep private for the same reasons drupal.org keep bluebeach private. I don't want other sites to look like mine.

However, I am learning the Druapl themeing system, so I started from the Pushbutton PHPTemplate variant and have been modifying from there. Pushbutton is under the GPL, so, I believe I am legally bound to release any derivative work to the public also under the GPL. Which I don't want to do.

On my site I use story nodes and page nodes quite differently. The page nodes are used to display static information that is about the site - it's not really content - for example, the about page. On the other hand, I use story nodes for stories - the difference being that a story has attributes that the user needs to see, such as the date it was submitted, who submitted it, etc -- for example http://classfivenews.com/node/25 (note: currently does not display correctly -- its missing information -- see below).

The problem is that I need to display these two different types of nodes differently. For a "page node" I just want to display the content and nothing else. For a "story node" I want to display the submitter, when it was submitted, the taxonomy terms, etc.

The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to distinguish between these two types of nodes in node.tpl.php. i.e. what I want is something like this:

<!-- What can I actually put on the line below to get the result I need? -->
<?php if ($node-type == "story"): ?>  
    <?php print $content ?>
<?php else: ?>
  <!-- show the submitter, date, taxonomy terms, etc -->
  <!-- ...ommitted for brevity -->  
<?php endif; ?>

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

Hi, everyone,,,

I'm new to this drupal,,,

I'm currently using cameleon theme and I want to get rid of timecounter under each categories,,,,

How can I do that???

Thank you !!

I have had a look in few places, but still not too sure how to go about customising login form (blocks section). I'm creating a template using a xTemplate engine...

Say for example i want my login form to look something like this:

Username: [text box] {Button Login}
Password: [text box] {Button clear}

Is this achevable via templates? i would really hate to do it somewhere else (like modifying the actual module) since this would make any upgrades extremly difficult.

Thanks in advance,
Nick Goloborodko
