Theme development

Hello all!

This is my first post. I haven't built a webpage since before xhtml :P, but I have to say I am really enjoying drupal on my debian server!

I am modifying alek theme, and running into a problem. I am trying to have the main content block (including the titles, breadcrumb, text body, everything under the header pretty much) have a 50% transparent background behind, because otherwise the text is hard to read with my main background. Even just being able to put an image with repeat-y behind the text would be nice. I have tried adding:

Hello guys!

I'm building a new site using Drupal 6.x dev and I'm trying to build a tree from the secondary links. The structure of my links looks this way:

I'm sure I'm not the first person to come up against this issue, but I have not managed to find a simple solution yet. I have a number of sites on a multi-site installation, some of which use the Garland theme. Most of these Garland-based sites need a few minor CSS tweaks but do not (yet) need the full flexibility afforded by having their own Garland-derived themes separate from the global site's Garland.

I just don't see a good way to do this. So far, I have been copying Garland into each site's themes directory and just adding an extra stylesheet import to page.tpl.php. The obvious problem with this scenario (aside from the overhead of copying the entire theme) is that when the global site's themes are updated (when a new release of Drupal comes out), then I have to go through each site and merge in any changes to Garland.

I can picture a few ways to go about this, but it seems like somebody must have solved this problem in some way. One approach would be to develop a very simple module that did nothing but do a drupal_add_css in whatever hook makes sense. Another approach would be to just modify the global Garland theme to include (if it exists) a file in a predictable location, like drupal/sites/[sitename]/files/custom.css.

Hi,

I'm enhancing on the Accessibility Module (Mobi Theme). My purpose is to enable mobile user to login and edit text-based contents (forum/blog/profile etc) via mobile browser. As some of the mobile browsers dont support cookie (or turn off by the user), i need a way to make the login successful and subsequently tracking the user's session. I'm thinking of enable the sessions.use_trans_id, but it seems that i cant even login at all. Any solution to login despite cookie being disabled?

Thanks.

I'v been playing around with css provided with theme, but I can't figure out how to make it centered with fixed middle part, like for example on this website www.therickards.com.

Hi all,
Basically, what I would like to do is enclose my navigational menu in a new div, but am not sure how to go about getting drupal to output another DIV in it's source code.

I've tried adding this to my page.tpl.php file :
