Theme development

I have created a view to display my vocabulary terms as a list and the number of nodes per term (which was fairly simple once I was able to get it. The only problem is that the list urls contain an id rather than the term name

So the listing looks like:

Characters
- First Name (3)
- Last Name (3)
- Pet Name (2)

Clicking on "First Name" gives a url of "characters/3"

I get:

First Name
- A (1)
- B (3)
- C (4)

Clicking on "A" gives a url of "characters/3/13"

Howdy-

This seems a simple question, but I'm not having any luck searching or experimenting. Basically: How can I pass variables in a custom block (PHP code input format) to the custom block template file?

I would have thought that $block->subject would change the title. No luck. That's what I would really like to be able to do. When I set that value in the block body, I'm not able to retrieve it in the block tpl.

How i can do it?

hi

I would like to use some icons for my site. Where can I find free icon images that I can use without any restrictions? By the way, can those icons be used in Aquasoft theme?

Thanks

So now that I've finally got my taxonomy categories filled out and I believe that I'm understanding this great concept, I would like to be able to modify the taxonomy title when a user clicks on a term.

For example, I have a vocabulary called Tools and the term list includes Hammer and Drill. When I attach a node to the term Hammer and and view the Hammer category, the page title is Hammer and lists the node.

But I would like to modify the term to say, "All people that own a %term."

I'm using Garland on my site, and I am getting some XHTML errors because the search button and the login button appear to use the same ID. I can't find this in the Garland theme itself, so I think it might be somewhere else. I'm new enough to Drupal that I'm unsure where to look.
