Theme development

Hi !

I'm sure this will be really easy for a php coder but I'm not good with php...

I try to modify a flexinode block code but I really don't know how to insert the php variables in the html etc.

Do you think you can help me to make this work ?

Hi

I have two problems regarding the CSS of my theme. I'm using Friendselectric.
1. I have defined 3 parallel regions in my node.tpl.php and have styled them a bit but as I'm only just beginning to grasp CSS I think I'm missing something as the right region overlaps the middle one. Here is the code. Where am I going wrong?

The Multiplex theme has the following pages:

block.tpl.php
box.tpl.php
comment.tpl.php
node.tpl.php
page.tpl.php
template.php

style_override.css
style_print.css
style_screen.css

The final output markup includes styles such as:

<div class="sidebar-txtbox-noshade bg-green03">

The style_screen sheet includes CSS such as:

I am using the Combustion Theme (http://phobos.redfyre.net) to delvelope a fixed width theme. I have also tried to modify the theme to be liquid, which I'm finding difficult.

Anyway back to fixed-width themes. My question is to do with the width of boxes in the 'create content' and 'admin' pages. For example, if I add an attachment, the box that shows the description is too wide, after I have added the attachments.

Are there any modules or template tricks to more easily apply the kind of thing talked about in the ALA piece on Dynamic Text Replacement?

I'd like to be able to upload my own fonts to my server and then have Block titles displayed in that font. As the site will have many users and loads of blocks, it's not realistic to create a graphic for each block title.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this?

When you display the node which is at root level of a book, the chapters are not "opened out" - in other words, chapter headings with sub-chapters are shown as "collapsed".
