Theme development

Just a little jQuery to share. cf a blog post on the subject.

I read through some of the posts regarding the FriendsElectric Theme and problems in IE7 and can't seem to get my modified version to look correct.

Needless to say, my client has upgraded to IE7 now and it's a big problem!

I modified the FriendsElectric template for this site - www.showtimeregion.com

I know that the side blue bars don't run down the entire page in FF, but I think I'm the only one using FF, so I'm not concerned. But if someone has a fix for that, I'd appreciate it.

So this is a little odd. I've got my theme set up to have a repeating image as a background (using CSS), and the background repeats as designed when I view the "Administer by task" page. But when I view "Administer by module" page, the image only displays once, then you see the page's background color until the bottom, where the footer image shows (exactly where it's supposed to).

I know it has something to do with the clear property in CSS. Looking at the page, I can see that "by task" has

So I want to make use of dynamic text replacement in my theme that I'm developing for a music artist website. Specifically, the version from http://joaomak.net/util/dtr/

The example inside their download package works fine on my dev server, but when I try to include it in my theme, I get this error:

I know my way around a PHP document, but I'm nowhere near fluent. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Should this be done as a module instead? Or is there already a module that does this?

For some reason, custom regions defined in template.php do not show up anymore in block admin area, although they still work in page templates. The blocks I have assigned to these regions are in correct place but I cannot assign new blocks to these regions. Only default regions are listed in dropdown menus.

Hi -

I'm trying to write a theme function which causes the current menu item to be shown not as a link but as emphasised text.

The problem is that this function causes drupal to not display any menu items after the current item.

Here's my function:

function phptemplate_menu_item_link($item, $link_item) {

/***
  * Overrides the HTML output for all links in block menus
  *  - no link tag is provided on the menu item for the current page
  *  - <strong> tags are added to the current page's menu item, to emphasise it as the current page.
  */

  $this_page = menu_get_active_title();

  $unlinked_item = "<strong>". $item['title'] ."</strong></li>\n"; // causes menu to stop at this p
oint.

  $linked_item   = l($item['title'], $link_item['path'], !empty($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description']) : array(), isset($item['query']) ? $item['query'] : NULL);

  if ($item['title'] == $this_page || drupal_is_front_page() && $item['title'] == "Home" || $active) {
    return $unlinked_item;
  }

  else {
    return $linked_item;
  }

}

Something in my $unlinked_item statement seems to be causing this problem - perhaps the 'l' function needs to be triggered in some way to keep the loop going to complete the menu list?
