Theme development

hello everyone
just a quick question

im editing the zen theme (with success) but im having one problem

i want to edit the table settings, for example, i have a node on the left that displays an image of the latest articles published on the site in a table format... i have edited the css so that the colour of the table background is black... but this edits ALL table entries in the site, so when i go to my message inbox for example, the background on that table is also black

I have a sports site i'm developing in drupal 5 in which I'm trying to put together a tagging system for images. I would like the admin ability to use free-tagging for taxonomies on the images and I would also like to allow an anonymous user to upload images (which I moderate with workflow and actions modules). However, I don't want the anonymous user to be able to use free-tagging, b/c then I have to moderate the terms they are adding and that could get annoying really fast.

I'm attempting to add a theme-specific toggle feature - basically identical to the available "Enable or disable the display of certain page elements" checkboxes currently built in.
Specifically, I want to amend the nifty Gutenberg wordpress-porter theme to add an option to 'Show permalink' or not.
Permalinks are currently hard-coded into into the guntenberg renderer - as it's a clone of wordpress behaviour, but using Drupal I want to be able to turn them off ... so I thought I'd find the tidiest way to do so - by extending the theme config form.
Gutenberg is a clean phptemplate theme, which then acts as a base for a hundred pure-css sub-themes.

I can see [theme]_variables() as being somewhere to feed the setting back ... but I can't see where to expose it in the first place.

I've found the [theme_prefix]_settings() callback in system.module, however it appears that only ever triggers phptemplate_settings(), not any theme-specific one.
I was hoping to be able to insert an appropriate form by implementing 'gutenberg_settings()' and returning a form fragment, but that didn't get called.

Ditto for [theme_prefix]_features()

Hi,

Have been looking around with no success, and would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction. Currently the taxonomy page (i.e. http://mysite.com/taxonomy_menu/2/8) lists nodes in a vertical order. I was wondering if the taxonomy page can be themed into a table view - one node (horizontally) next to each other.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I'm new to Drupal so I have a question for you... :-)

For example, say I want this layou for my site:

- homepage: six content areas and in each area you want to show the last contents of six sections of the site
- aboutus page: normal content page. Url: /about
- section 1: the news section homepage. list the last N news article. I want my url to be: '/news' and '/news/1' for a detail;
- section 2: the products homepage.
list the products in a custom manner (lets say like ecommerce).
Plus more content areas to put some contents (ie: Latest produts, High Rated Produtcts, etc)
Like other sections I want the url to be: '/products/%SECTION_NAME%/%SUBSECTION_NAME%/%NODE_ID%'

- section n: ...

by now you should have understood what I'm talking about :-)

All this sections need to be in 2 or more languages. So all urls (ie: about page in '/about') should be shown in the language the user chooses.

What I think I know:
- Regions are content areas that are defined in the a template that I can add Blocks to;
- Blocks are the content (could be a node, list of nodes, user defined view, etc);
- Nodes are a single content (Page, Article, etc);

Hi.

What i want to do is to show in my frontpage a "miniteaser" of the nodes.

A miniteaser meaning a scaled down image (50px x 50px) of the node image, the node title, and the node "summary"

The node summary is made by inserting a field in the story type node named "summary" using CCK. So, when someone create an article, he must fill the 'summary' field also (which is 100 long char ).

Next, i want to show on my front page, 5 miniteasers of a category.

I have a frontpage view and in in "head" section of the view i 'called' the view that handles those 5 nodes named 'category_x'.

Now, on 'category_x' view on 'fields' section i have the following fields selected "Image: Display Image" , "Node: Title" , "Text: summary".

On my frontpage now i have 5 miniteasers. Something like this:

title: Article title bla bla bla
summary: Summary of the article. The output of the field made with CCK in the 'story' node type.
image: do not show

So, this is my problem. The image does not show and i can't figure out what is the problem.

To make some light, this is what i want to do: look on http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and see under the main article, are those 2 articles with a little image, the article title and a summary of the article.

All is done properly, but the problem is that the image does not appear.
