Theme development

I am a bit frustrated by the lack of information concerning techniques of populating a bootstrap theme in drupal7.

Perhaps I am just being dense. In the old types of themes we have regions that had implied purpose. The use of the bands in a bootstrap theme have let me not knowing how to populate them.

In the past I would go to the system settings and choose a particular page to set as the front page. Place blocks in all of the side regions and then setup up views with main menu entries and certain nodes with main menu entries. This is intuitive.

Hello all,

First of all a disclaimer: I've recently started working with drupal so my knowledge and experience is still relatively low.

What I'm trying to achieve:
On the site I'm building I want several pages that show a collection of content nodes based on some taxonomy terms.
I'm using several pages created with the Views module for this.

I've created 2 more content types next to the default ones: 'Frontpage Article' & 'Tutorial'.

Now based on the page I would like to change certain node's display.

I am trying to isolate why my subtheme settings will not save. I have a subtheme built on Zen that I have made, and use at work. When I am at work, the theme works fine and everything I change in my subtheme settings save fine. I can add new settings in the theme-settings.php file and work with them all I desire. I take the exact code, pull from the repo at home, and put this theme into my own personal environment and nothing will save. I cannot even uncheck "Theme rebuild on each refresh" or other base Zen settings on the appearance theme page.

Hi,

I am building a theme and in page.tpl.php, I am trying to determine if the page is a listing page (front-page, taxonomy, views, etc.) and not a node page.
I thought the following code would work but I get an "Undefined variable node" error message displayed.

I have developed a custom theme, but none of my content is showing. If I change the default theme, then there is no problem. Also, while logged in as administrator, clicking on "Demonstrate block regions" doesn't show the regions. What could I be doing wrong? I don't see any errors either.

I am new to all this.. but I can do it. I have Simplecorp installed, and it's beautiful, but I can't figure out for the life of me where the heck to go to change the caption text in the flex slider! I know this should be a simple task. I can find code and change it, I can do just about anything I want.. except that ONE simple thing! I have searched google. I have searched Drupal's forums… (not entirely.. they're too big) I have three jobs and I'm stressed out over this ONE stupid issue. I hate asking for help, but I need to bit my ego and reach out..
