Theme development

I'm starting to work on integrating my design into Drupal by creating a new template. So far, I'm not having much luck. I was able to get a little bit of text to show up by editing the page.tpl.php file, but no images showed up anywhere. The images are already on my server since they were in the html design - do I need to move them somewhere in order to make them show up in the drupal theme? I'm not sure what to do from here.

Hello,

I'm currently creating a new theme for my Drupal based website. The theme is named 'Entreo'.

I have a question about entreo_menu_item(). Is is possible for a certain item to 'know' if it's a child? I want to change the menu button layout depending on the level of the item. E.g. the first level items have different layouts in comparison with the second level, and the third level.

Thanks!

Dear all,

Can someone guide me or provide a pointer to me about below listed functions.
1.l($object->name, $object->homepage);
2.t('not verified')

what l() and t() functions are and where their definations can be found.

Regards,
Priti

I like the Amare theme but could use a slightly wider content area. Does anyone know how to tweek the CSS in order to widen the entire layout a bit?

Hi there. I've just installed Drupal on my server and now I want to integrate my existing design into it.

You can see the design here: www.qualitycrashtests.com.

Are there any tutorials that deal with this specifically? I'm (obviously) new to this, but the things I've found so far seem to deal with creating a brand new design, and I'm not sure if that applies to what I'm trying to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey, I would really appreciate a quick hint on how to deal with an Explorer quirk.

Check out http://66.249.137.205/about. For some reason, Microsoft explorer is cutting off blue background color for the first menu item in the left sidebar. This isn't a problem in Firefox (surprise).

I've tried turning the entire sidebar background blue, but that first menu item is still showing up with the white strip at the top.

This is probably a quick fix, but I'm racking my brain and can't figure it out.
