Hi,
I'm very new to Drupal, wasted a week with Joomla before the poor template adaptability to skill ratio got me (all those annoying tables). Have been learning CSS mainly through playing with CSS Zen Garden, though my page is still going through iterations before I get it to do what I want without being able to create different style sheets to compensate for the quirks of different browsers.

Anyway what I want to do is similar to having the extradivs in CSSZenGarden.

So far I've added
- image divs to style.css
with position: absolute;
and width and height 100%;
- regions to template.php
so I can add and assign the images as html within the blocks, which means I can assign them to different pages etc
- and extra divs to page.tpl.php just inside the tags

the problem is the html it spits out is

<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="block block-<?php print $block->module ?>"> <div class="blockinner">
<h2 class="title"> <?php print $block->subject; ?> </h2>
<div class="content">
<?php print $block->content; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

the img is nested all these extra divs and so is not absolutely positionable floating anywhere over or under the text.

I'm looking to enhance the layout of the default taxonomy pages, but it seems to be rather hard-coded.

Hi,

I was wondering, how do I make the 'slogan' text in the default theme garland smaller? Right now, it's the same size as the 'name' of the website, but it's way too big.

Firefox web developer tool tells me the modification should be in style.css, but when I tried to change things, it seems to affect BOTH the 'name' and 'slogan' text size.

All I want to do is make 'slogan' text smaller.

Thanks!

hi guys,

i created some views and tryd to modify the templates using theme wizard.

if i insert the generated code in template.php ....tpl.php.. and css and modify it, no changes will displayed.

i always see the default view theme.

i can completly emty the tpl file for a view and nothing happen.

the design is always the same...

why?

I am attempting to display information from a randomly selected node from the database. I am able to get a Node ID (nid) and get all the information I need by using the function,

$random_node = node_load(array('nid' => $nid));

Below is the information that gets returned. I'm wondering how I can reliably print the value "Kayaking" in the [taxonomy] array. I'm guessing the value 68 is unique to this node. So I can't reference

$random_node->taxonomy[68]->NAME

Any tips on how to output a class object that is in an array with a variable array index (I'm not even sure of I'm asking that question right)?
