Theme development

Anybody out there an expert in converting existing drupal phptemplate driven themes to use the Smarty template engine, from what I can see it's a case of converting the phptemplate tags to Smarty tags within the theme so:

print $picture

would become:

{if $picture}{$picture}{/if}

Is that correct? And can anyone suggest an "idiots guide to Smarty convertion"

Hi,
I read http://drupal.org/node/29140 http://drupal.org/node/11795 http://drupal.org/node/11795 which talk about defining theme regions by
defining a function mytheme_regions that return an array of regions

I am trying to do some color changes to Zen except I am having problems with it.

I would like the page to be one color and the node color to be another. Basically have the background one color and anything within node be another background color.

After looking at the CSS files and using to Firebug, I am still sort of baffled. What variables should I change to get these results?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I've created a node-form.tpl to customize the node creation/edit form. It submits the content OK but prints this error at the top of the created contents node:

I can find the content in a list of taxonomys in my left sidebar and can view the node. However, if I try to edit the node the node_form appears blank as if Im creating new content.

I've used:

Hi all,

just been playing with Drupal for a week now and i have one problem i can not overcome.

I have started creating new custom theme, but for administration i like to use Garland. However as soon as i go to Add or Edit content, i get my template. Is there any way of forcing Drupal to select Garland theme for Adding and Editing content?

Thanks all.

Hello,

I'm a Drupal novice, and I'm developing a custom theme for a small non-profit.

While I'd like my custom theme to render the "public" site, I'd like to use a standard theme (bluemarine or garland) for all administrative functions and content creation/management. Basically, any functionality beyond viewing should be restricted to the admin, and the admin should work exclusively in the standard theme.
