Overriding the base theme object.tpl with a sub theme

Hi All,

Newbie to Drupal. Added the theme Tao to my drupal installation, then created a sub-theme using Skeleton.

Copied over the tpl files from the Tao install and everything is overriding the base theme great apart from the object.tpl file?

Ive googled everything and tried loads of functions in my template.php file for skeleton but nothing is workin. I make a change in Tao object.tpl and i see the change, i do it in the Skeleton.tpl and nada.

Admin interface not working

Hello there,

I was following a Drupal theme tutorial, ran into bad problems (white screen of death). I was able to get it to show something on my home page. I changed the default theme to Bartik in the settings.php file.

Now, the admin toolbar shows on top, but if I try going into appearance, configuration, or anything else, the white screen pops up again. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

I also get these listed errors on the hope page (they show up multiple times on the page, I just truncated it since it repeated itself:

wsod, can't connect to database to change theme.

Hello there,

I am fairly new to drupal, and I was following a tutorial on customizing themes. I have my remote server conntected, and I am able to add/change/delete files, but nothing seems to be working. I am still getting the WSOD.

I have tried replacing my enabled theme to an already working theme such as Bartik or Garland. I have tried changing my settings.php, but that doesn't seem to work. I have tried using drush, but get error issues:

[resolved] module html.tpl.php seems to be trumping theme version

Hi,
we are developing a from-scratch theme in D7.
The designer has included the tag <meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport"> in the head section, and I placed this in the html.tpl.php file in our theme directory and cleared caches.

however, we are also using the HTML5 Tools module, and the theme debug output shows:

Another Caching Question

Hi all,

It seems that I'm struggeling with understanding the PHP caching :-)

Here's another example of my code where the drupal caching is 'bullying' me:

[Solved] Devel module not showing up on modules page

I installed (via wget and tar) the devel module for D7 and I put it in /sites/dev.foo.com/modules so that it wouldn't get copied to the production site.

However, it isn't showing up in admin->modules. Since I haven't used a site-specific modules directory before, have I created it correctly? It is owned by the apache user like all other files.
