Theme development

Hello guys..
New over here..

I am using the box_cleanslate theme but there is one problem. When using the event module the calander and the table view for the calander is displayed in a very small ection of the screen where the right hand size has nothing there (I have no right hand blocks on this page only on the main index page). This happens again with the default box_cleanslate in my testing without any of my modifcations. Any idea how I could make the calander fill the whole space?

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help,

Tried to create new theme with phptemplate. I can get style.css to have an effect, but *.tpl.php seem to have no effect. I'm pretty stuck on what's behind this.

Below is what I did:

- Copied *.tpl.php from engines/phptemplate
- Created page.tpl.php with content of box_grey/page.tpl.php (because there is no page.tpl.php in the engines dir)
- Switch to theme, the site appears unformatted (it has a sidebar, no colours etc.).

Is phptemplate engine going to move to centerstage and be more 'part' of Drupal or is xtemplate still going strong and will always be with Drupal. Which is going to get more support down the road? What about smarty. How will these template engines fit in with Drupal in the further. Which one will be the 'leader'?

I am trying to customise the theme bluemarine and I want to do a couple of things: 1. I want to add a link (like the one optional to members) somewhere, preferably in the side block, which allows visitors to turn blocks off. 2. I also want to drop down where the top block sits on the page. I have been playing with style.css for the block location but I am not so savvy with such things. The link thing I wouldn't know where to start.

I have a custom profile field for "full names", wich is called profile_full_name.

I'm customizing a PHPTemplate and I would like to show the user's full name when displaying a node, then I'm editing the file node.tpl.php. How can I do this? I've tried:

 if ($page == 1):		
     global $user;
     echo "<h3>" . profile_view_field($user,1) . "</h3>";

... but it doesn't return anything.

What's wrong?
