I would like to contribute a theme, but ...

By mdroste on 1 Oct 2005 at 15:27 UTC

at this moment there's somewhat curious with it.
Please, take a look at my site www.learn-php.de after you read this.

On my frontpage all looks fine. But if you go to another page of my site the layout is totally broken. Now the curious: I use clean urls. If I disable them the theme works. You can test this strange behaviour if you put "?q=aggregator/categories/5" or something equivalent in the browsers location. As you can see the layout looks fine now.
And the biggest shock for me: this happens only in Firefox in not in IE.

Any idea?

Thanks.

base href should come before stylesheet import

ezheidtmann commented 1 October 2005 at 15:40

If you take a look at the source of your pages, you will see that a stylesheet @import statement comes before the base tag. This means that on pages other than the front page, the browser is looking for the stylesheet relative to the current URL, not relative to the base URL specified in the base tag.

You need to modify your theme so that the base tag appears before any stylesheet import statements.

Thank's

I think people would be very excited to have this theme available :-)

Asked for a cvs account

mdroste commented 1 October 2005 at 18:17

Thanks. I've just asked for a cvs account at drupal.
Some words to the theme:
The layout is mainly inspired by www.alistapart.com. These guys are simply great in all tasks of layout and css questions - and much more.

The structure of the theme is from http://drupal.org/project/argeebee. I like the idea of a separate css file only for colors. This way we give user with little or no css kwowledge a good chance to create their own layouts.

If you use Firefox as your browser you can take a look at another color scheme. It's not ready in all aspects. But it shows what can be done only with colors. The colorscheme is based on a free template from www.westcivic.com.
To view the theme in Firefox just click "view/website style/sentimental"

Hi,

Hi,

I remember that your theme at the time of posting looked quite stunning. Any chances of your posting that theme?

Your current theme seems very different from what you initially posted.

It's in the cvs

mdroste commented 17 February 2006 at 09:02

Thank you! Yes, it is the

venkat-rk commented 17 February 2006 at 16:18

Thank you! Yes, it is the one in the screenshot that I am looking for.

One clarification- I don't see a node.tpl.php or page.tpl.php. Are they not required?

Update:

I put the files from your link into a folder and uploaded it to the themes folder of my drupal install but the theme isn't showing up on the admin>>themes page. Do I need to put anything else? Is it an xtemplate theme by any chance?

PHPTemplate

mdroste commented 18 February 2006 at 16:02

I've only made changes to the block.tpl.php, therefore there is no need for another version of node.tpl.php and page.tpl.php.
You need the phpTemplate engine. In the directory of the phptemplate you should find the default node and page.tpl.php.

I don't work with xtemplate, therefore I cannot answer your last question. But with a good knowledge of css, I think there is a chance.

Thanks. No, I don't use

venkat-rk commented 18 February 2006 at 17:14

Thanks. No, I don't use xtemplate at all. I will copy the node.tpl and page.tpl files from another phtemplate theme and try.

My main problem is that the theme doesn't appear in the theme list at admin>>themes.

I will try again.

Update: It worked after I copied the other tpl files. However, after I enable the theme, the admin>>themes page gets split into half and the right half displays the cvs page! I think something has got hard coded into your block.tpl.php file.
