Theme development

I'm not promising anything really exciting (I'm not a web designer by trade), but I've put together over ten xtemplate skins for Drupal 4.4 into one package. You can learn more, see and download them on my weblog (thumbnails lead to larger png's).

Hello

I'm trying to find out where is the hook: menus (menus.module and navigation) is giving strange responce with a lot of space before each item in Interlased theme (like there are a left padding 50px for each item), say:

----menu
--------submenu
------------subsubmenu

instead of

-menu
--submenu
---subsubmenu

where is the point? It eats my content! I've tried to find an answer in css but zero. Maybe I missed something?

I'm not sure thi is the right place to post this.
I am very new to Drupal and indeed PHP... I love the Interlaced themeas well as the Chameleon theme but find it hard to customize them by adding my logo.

I have tried the instructions given at http://drupal.org/node/view/6629#comment-6458 but had no joy... Would any of you gurus please care to help?

Thanks in advance.

I am reposting this under Theme development as it may be more appropriate here.

I followed Steven's "Quick Hack" suggestion (http://drupal.org/node/view/6385#9600) for suppressing "Submitted by" on static pages by making the following modifications:
Open up xtemplate.theme and find the following lines:

"submitted" => t("Submitted by %a on %b.", 
                      array("%a" => format_name($node), 

"%b" => format_date($node->created))),

and replace by

"submitted" => ($node->type != 'page' ? t("Submitted by %a on %b.", 
                      array("%a" => format_name($node), 
                            "%b" => format_date($node->created))) : ''),

This works great for HTML formatted static pages, but it does not work with PHP formatted pages. I suspect that this might be caused by PHP pages not being rendered as node type = 'page' for some reason. I have spent hours searching the entire site for possible explanations and solutions, but aside from finding a handful of posts identifying the same problem, I have not found anything that is actionable. So, I am hoping that this forum topic will attract attention and suggestions from one of the many Drupal wizards in the community. I am using Drupal CVS. Any suggestions are appreciated. Donovan.

Hi,

i'm new in Drupal (ex postnuke user) and i would like to know if it's possible to
apply different html templates for differents taxonomy or different module or different block.

If we can do it, where can I find documentation about it?

I look on the forum put I found a lot of un-awnsered answers

Okay, I'm breaking stuff. I'm pretty solid on CSS, but I've been a CF programmer for a long time, and I'm new to PhP, so forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions.

The Designers I'm working with have set before me an interesting challenge -- making the title of a section in the blocks areas (right and left side menus) have different styles -- the first word be one color, the rest of the title be another. So, if I were just going to code it, I would have Main Menu or something like that. The trick is to try to get the xtemplate I'm customizing to do that on the fly.

I have been trying to make the template variable {title} into two variables {title_a} and {title_b}. So I started hacking xtemplate.theme. The code I'm hacking is on my line 241 or so, and looks like this:

function xtemplate_block(&$block) {
global $xtemplate;

// create template variables for all block variables (module, delta, region, subject, content, ...)
foreach ($block as $key => $value) {
$xtemplate->template->assign($key == "subject" ? "title" : $key, $value); // TODO: standardize on 'title' (ie. rename all $block["subject"] to "title")
}
$xtemplate->template->parse("block");
$output = $xtemplate->template->text("block");
$xtemplate->template->reset("block");
return $output;
}

and to try to create my two title variables, I've created this mess:
