Theme development

...and i read up the handbook but i still have no idea on how to approach the problem. The puproses of various theme .tpl.php pages are quite clear, but how if i need more flexibility?

lemme post some url to let u understand what i mean:

website im working on is www.sanniotest.com. As u may see Drupal is up and running and set-up with all my needs.
a static layout test is on: www.sanniotest.com/prova

As u may see its a typical brochure web site with little dynamic content. Problems:

1. I decided to make "static" pages with content/page module. But this way every page should be skinned in a different way. taxonomy_theme module could be a solution, but is it not so much? I mean...to make an entire theme just for one static page (and all static page layouts are almost similar...not exactly the same but almost similar...maybe header pictures are different, but not the scheleton. Ofc content is different)

2. As u may see content in a static page (but even in dynamic pages, too) is organized in two colums (in my example pages the column on the left is filled with 3 images, but in others could be text or a little webform...). In "page" i can set as content just one "block" of text (the "body"). How can i modify page behaviour so i can have two "body" fields (one for left column, one for true content)?

3. In my static example pages there are, as u see, some linked files (images and stylesheet - one for screen and one for print -) but if i convert in a phptemplate and i upload in /themes/mytheme (including /img and all subdirs) and active it shall i loose links to those files?

Hello,

I am trying to get more than just two menus on the site.

Where I am now is I have added a new region to my template.php file. I can output the content, but it has titles and is styled wrong. What I need to do is theme a third menu to just output a line of links.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett

I'm running Drupal 4.7.2 and tried the "Making Drupal Forums look like phpbb forums" trick from http://drupalart.org/phpbb. It works for the most part, although the template.php references theme_content_form which is no longer present in 4.7. Is there a way to update this theme to be fully 4.7 compatible? My feeble attempts at updates just tend to break comments/replies in my forums.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add a search box to a custom theme I'm developing (my first).

I'm not using blocks because I need the search box to show up in pixel-specific locations, not generalities like left and top (Though I'm sure there is a way to do this with blocks, I'm not there yet).

I can't seem to get the search form I'm building on my frontpage template to work (the search box block I'm using on the admin page worls fine).

I would like to create theme similar to what I have at www.tcnband.com for a drupal version of the site. Any help will be greatly appreciated. To see what I have done you can go to www.tcnband.com/home. You can contact me at jamespdaniel@voyager.net if you know any way you can help. Thanks again!

I want to theme the simplenews block.
I'm just going to edit the module.
Which line/s do I edit to edit to remove the site email address from the block? I want to make this block as small as possible.

function theme_sn_form($tid, $sub=1, $unsub=1, $email='') {
$sn_form = '
