Theme development

Hello folks,

I'm a bit stumped here.

I just copied my 4.4 xtemplate theme to my new 4.5 installation.
My theme is listed ok but when I enable and set it as default I just receive a page stripped off everything except basic styling and content.

Can anybody give me a clue? I looked here and there but could not find an explanation to this behaviour.
The logs show nothing going on out of the ordinary.

Philippe.

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any tutorials on making themes for drupal?

I have read the documentation and it does not help one bit.
I pulled apart the xtemplate themes but it just went nasty.

So any more information would be great...
Or a good theme to rip apart and make themes from would also be great.

Thanks

Today I decided to switch to the phpTemplate theme engine, because I'll be needing a little bit more power for the events calendar on our site. The only "problem" was that I was quite satisfied with BlueMarine and didn't want to use box_grey, which is the only phpTemplate example listed in Downloads/contributed themes. That's why I converted the BlueMarine template to phpTemplate.

It may save others some time if my work appears under Downloads/contributed themes/BlueMarine_phptemplate or so. How do I upload it there ?
Do I have to create a project for that first ?

Hi,

Is the "Drupal.org" theme available for download anywhere?

I want the mission statement in the chameleon theme to appear on just the front page. trying to capture the empty q with

if (trim($_GET['q'])==""){
	  if ($mission = theme_get_setting('mission')) {
	    $output .= $mission;
	  }
  }

Does not work for some reason. Works fine if I give a string value for q but nothing if check to see if it is empty or at zero length.

Ideas?

I wanted to add "submitted by" to the page teaser section on the front page. I saw this code in the Chameleon theme and thought that I could use it. But I can't find out how it is activated or if it is an automatic thing or if it can be set manually. At present nothing at all is happening.
