I just installed Drupal today, literally 2 hours ago. After playing around with making a template, all is going well. Only question is, is it possible to override certain elements such as $left?

I tried poking through the documentation but it is all a bit overwhelming right now.

Right now, on my $left column I have the user login information. I don't quite like the way this is layed out. I was thinking of moving the text around, and having "Register new account" moved around.

Cheers

Hi Everyone -

Am trying to theme my first view - a series of teasers in a block. Have been through the documentation and the dojo and am confused about what stuff goes where. I get the impression from what I've read that theming teasers is supposed to be easy, but I'm missing a few key pieces of puzzle that people just seem to know.

Hey folks. I'm trying to change a few things on my site using CSS based on the section being viewed. I am sectioning off my site using taxonomy. I've used the taxonomy theme module in the past, but because I only want to change a couple CSS values, that's very inefficient and difficult to deal with.

After looking for a good solution, I discovered that it's fairly easy to give the body tag a class based upon which taxonomy is being viewed (I grabbed this code snippit from http://drupal.org/node/67587 ). The following code placed in the template.php file accomplishes this basic task:

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  if ($hook == 'page') {
    $prefix = ' b-tax-';
  }
  if ($hook == 'node') {
    $prefix = ' tax-';
  }
  if (module_exists('taxonomy') && $vars['node']->nid) {
    foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($vars['node']->nid) as $term) {
      $vars['node_terms'] = $vars['node_terms'] . $prefix . eregi_replace('[^a-z0-9]', '-', $term->name);
    }
  }
  return $vars;
}
?>

All I need to do then is add class="<?php print $node_terms; ?>" to the body tag and I have a body class based on taxonomy. Awesome, right?

So here's what I need help with. I know 0 PHP and I'd like to extend this code a bit to include checking for the front page as well as having it hook into pages made with views.

Greetings everyone,

I've been working diligently on getting my Drupal site up and running. I'm having an issue getting the Frontpage only design to look as I want it to.

Here's what I know: (Or think I know)

-Created a page-front.tpl.php from the original page.tpl.php file in the theme I'm using. This is so I can make alterations only to the main/home/front page theme when you first enter the site.

-I'm pretty sure I need to use Views or Panels or a combination of both, but I've not found a good starting point or template to go off of.
