I'm trying to convert a site to Drupal, using the bare bones Bartik Theme (Drupal 7)
a few questions:
I have a book I'm using, I don't seem to be able to put a background image into the css (in style.css)
I put in background-image:url ('name of pic.png'); (in the Footer section or Block), but it doesn't take
it said to put the image in the themes/Bartik directory, which I did. ????????

Also, is there any way to get a single image to enlarge on mouseover?

And....... Is it possible to completely remove the 'authoring' segment on Bartik, so it is not displayed at all.
I thought , maybe you could remove it from the .info file? Or some other way?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

  • Don't hack core directly. If you want to make changes to bartik, you should make a subtheme.
  • Not with core, but there's probably a module for it in the downloads area.
  • Yep, assuming you mean the 'the submitted by' line, it's part of the settings for each content type

Thanks for the info...
I might be doing that quite a bit - changing elements of the core in a subtheme, any good articles on the subject? any examples for the first one - putting a background image in (that works)?
Also picking up modules off the site - I fooled around with Joomla awhile back, and some of their modules contained spyware - all sorts of things - what about Drupal?

  • https://drupal.org/node/225125. Themes and sub themes use standard CSS techniques. I've not worked with bartik much, but I don't recall there being anything special about it.
  • Theres zero tolerance for malware/spyware on Drupal.org and modules are monitored pretty well by the community. I only recall there being one incident with spyware, and it was handled quickly and decisively as soon as it was reported.
