Hey all!
I'm entirely new to Drupal but am familiar with PHP, CSS and the CMS concept so I've been converting a site build into a Drupal 7 Theme.
My main question is: I've created a custom menu via the admin's 'Structure' tab and named it 'Footer Links'. Is there a specific PHP code I can use within my template's page.tpl.php file to echo out the menu called Footer links within li tags? Similar to how this outputs my main menu?: print theme('links__system_main_menu', array('links' => $main_menu, 'attributes' => array('id' => 'main-menu', 'class' => array('links', 'inline', 'clearfix'))));
It says the 'URL Path' is 'menu-footer-menu'
Other areas that would be extremely helpful for any direction:
1) My site's sidebar has 'buckets' of information that include simply a title, image, and description. I created a new content type called 'homepage bucket' (machine name 'homepage_bucket') with the fields: Title, Longtext, Image. How could I edit my page.tpl.php to echo out each node of the type 'homepage_bucket' while controlling the format of each field? For example:
<span>Title here<span>
<div>Image here</div>
<div>Longtext value here</div>
2) My site has an interior page template and a homepage template. What's the best way to define that the homepage uses template A and all other pages use template B?
