Create an online magazine type website that supports archiving

How to create an online magazine type website that supports multiple editions with each having their own style sheet using drupal's taxonomy and Path alias modules...

Situation..
You have an online magazine that is published quarterly, but each publication has a new design. After spending so much time to develop the site you are proud of your work and you want to be able to archive each issue/edition for your users.. How can this be done you ask yourself? Easy!!

Solution..
Go to admin/content/taxonomy and create a vocabulary called "Newsletter Issues" and enable it on the same content types as above.. this will be used in your website naming convention... will be discussed later..
In your theme's folder create a template file "page-taxonomy.tpl.php" this will over-ride drupal's default handling of taxonomy pages..

Using template files enables us to control the look and feel of of individual pages....
Drupal looks through a list of suggested templates from the most specific to least specific and checks your theme's directory for a matching template file. Once it finds a template that matches the criteria, it applies that template to the page for e.g.
http://www.example.com/node/6
page-node-6.tpl.php
page-node.tpl.php
page.tpl.php

Drupal Table Structure/Design Chart

Hey Drupalers,

I was just wondering if there was a cheatsheet out there that lays out the Drupal database design, similarly to this chart for WordPress: http://joemaller.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/wordpress_23_m...

It would be handy to have a quick reference sheet for this, since I'm still very new to module development.

I would use phpMyAdmin... that would be ideal, but the university I work for does not want to install it.

Premium theme vendors

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a reputable theme vendor? I've hunted around but am underwhelmed with what's on offer and the good ones that ARE out there don't seem to support version 7.

Many thanks
