Theme development

Folks,

First a quick note that the beauty of Drupal is the patient and helpful folks out there supporting this software....This is particularly reassuring for someone who is poking along on a skeletal budget on a community project, and I have appreciated the helpful suggestions folks have given me....

I am nearing launch of the Drupal version of my site and have had to convert to Chameleon theme at the last moment. (In testing, I discovered that Andreas09 theme, sadly, has too many glitches in IE6 ... IE splits forms in middle, moves some boxes in forms far to right, etc.)

I'm using the "marvin" theme and below each blog entry one can read who posted the entry and "add new comment".
I find it useful to also display the date of the blog entry! Is it possible to add? I prefer not changing my theme.

On the main page, when i post something, for some reason my tags dont show up (the categories) and also it doesnt say submitted by: and hte person its supposed to go to.

I am a newbie to web design but i was wondering if anyone could help me with this code

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
print $language " xml:lang=" print $language ">

print $head_title

print $head
print $styles

print theme("onload_attribute"); >

Hi,

I am a complete Drupal newbie, but I am trying to take an existing theme (pushbutton) and make it work for my site. So I opened the Page.tpl file and actually hand linked the images. However when i loaded the site the images didnt show. Any ideas? I am runnign the latest version of drupal and like I said I am still reading all the tutorials on drupal. Thanks so much for your help

Hello,

I have been trying to get a fancy border drawn around the sidebar, for example like on http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=082/082.css. What would be the best way to accomplish this?

What I did was create 3 images for the top, bottom and in between part. In my style.css file I call these as follows:

So I've got flatforum running on my site and by and large it works fantastic and looks beautiful and all that. But occasionally, it would appear as if users are getting a strange error--only one has reported it and it happened while they were trying to preview a post, but looking in the logs it's happened maybe 4 times in the last 24 hours.

Anyway, the error returns THREE separate PHP failures:

Aug 24 2006 - 3:36pm main(): Failed opening 'node.tpl.php' for inclusion ...
Aug 24 2006 - 3:36pm main(node.tpl.php): failed to open stream: No such file ...
php Aug 24 2006 - 3:36pm main(node.tpl.php): failed to open stream: No such file ...

The full message on that top one seems to be the most helpful. It says (with slight editing):

main(): Failed opening 'node.tpl.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/user/websites/www.website.com/html/themes/pp_final/node-forum.tpl.php on line 3.

The line that's referred to is the straight node-forum.tpl.php file included with flatforum:

<?php
  if (!_is_forum()) {
    include('node.tpl.php');
    return;
  }
  $curr_user = user_load(array('uid' => $userid));
  $sig = $curr_user->signature;
  $loc = $curr_user->profile_location;
?>

What's up? That node.tpl.php file exists as part of php template. I don't have a copy in my theme file.
