Theme development

Hi,

Hi All,

I am not sure where the best place to post this support request, so here goes.

I have created a custom page template using drupals naming conventions. Basically the page has some javascript tabs using Adobe's Spry framework. I will also be pulling in some xml info from a webservice to display the search results.

Anyway, in constructing this page I created it in basic HTML first then ported it to drupal. You can view the straight HTML version here. http://www.aaess.com.au/search_layout/search_panels.html see how the tabs at the top have nice background images against the white lettering.

So the weirdness occurs when I brought it into drupal. I can get all the tabs working great and they reveal different information depending on the tab selected. All good. The problem being that there is nothing I can do to make the background imaged appear in the tab. I have tried every conceivable path for the CSS background using PHP, absolute paths and every thing between. You can see what I am talking about here http://www.aaess.com.au/index.php?q=node/47. AS you will notice the tabs are just boarded with the black line.

I am trying to figure out how to change text that is automatically generated in $links. For example, I'd like to use different text in place of "add a comment" -- maybe, "say your piece" or whatever. I imagine that I'd override theme_links() to do this, but haven't yet found references on how to override that function to do this sort of change.

I've been going in circles searching Drupal for an answer. Can anyone offer some guidance?

Hi,

I'm using a color-code for my website: each primary page has another color. So it would be clever to match those colors to the primary links, ie: link1:blue link2:red link3:green and so on.

Is it possible ? How can I achieve this ?

Thanks for help,

Hello,

I am working on a new design for a Drupal site and I am curious how I could manually call a couple blocks. On my normal pages I will have the poll and recent comments blocks in one of the side bars, but for the homepage I would prefer to have them in a stickied post (or manually coded in the template) immediately below a Flash based dashboard I will be using. Disabling the poll and recent comments block on a certain page, like /node, is simple enough (although I am not really concerned about duplicated blocks). Crudely I am trying to create something like this:

Hello I'm trying to give a underline text-decoration to the primary links, but it doesn't work.

i change this line:

background: #D7D7D7;

by this other:

text-decoration: underline;

I'm working with drupal 5.1, I know that in drupal 4.7.x there is a drupal.css, but I don't find it in 5.x to check it.
