Theme development

We're in the early stages of moving our site to a single drupal 4.7.2 (+gallery) install. We currently use about 5 cms withabout 4000 articles between them, and have several hundred static pages. This includes a phpbb forum with 115000 posts, 2000 users and about 50 forums which we've just tested phpbb2drupal on fairly successfully.

We previously used the cat_hierarchy mod for phpbb to make subforums. Drupal has unlimited subforums, but no option to control how they're displayed on the main /forum page. That's what this thread is for. We're fine with html and css, but have very, very limited php, so please bear with us.

drupal displays subforums like this:
--
Container
Parent forum...........................................................topics....posts...last post
parent forum description
--subforum1............................................................topics....posts...last post
--subforum description
--subforum2............................................................topics....posts...last post
--subforum description
--subforum3............................................................topics....posts...last post
--subforum description

Container

with 50 forums this makes for a very large front page.

what we'd like is something like this:

--
Container
Parent forum.........................................................topics.....posts...last post
parent forum description
subforum1 (new posts icon?) subforum2 (new posts icon?) subforum3 (new posts icon?)

Container

I use taxonomy and now try to build some dynamic nodes.

Example: I have the following menu-structure

-Infocorner
--News
--Events

Infocorner is the category, News and Events the therms.
I add one dashboard node for each of this therms, in this dashboard node I have some php to extract for example the latest nodes from some other Category therms. so far this works but if I click on Infocorner in the menu-tree
I get for example for News:

----
Infocorner

News
Dashboards have no teaser, sorry.

Hi all,

I wanted to make it so that when I search for images a thumbnail of the image appears in the search engine next to the decription of the image.

I'm using the default search module but I went through the process of overriding the theme I am using in order to make "search" do what I what it to. It all works but only for the theme that I "overrided."

I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to override ALL of my themes or if I will have to paste the template.php into all my themes' folders.

Any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks for reading.

I really like the look of spreadfirefox but I am having trouble with it. When I add it to my themes directory and select it as the default theme, everything is aligned incorrectly. The body is very thin and scrunched together and the blocks from the right are aligned on the left at the very end of the page, so in general, everything stacks on the left side scrolling down the page. I could really use some help. I have searched the site and didn't find too much related. If you can assist me I will greatly appreciate it.

I am running Drupal 4.7

Hi Guys,

Im using the gespaa theme on www.gerryboothman.com, however when i view this site at home through IE and Firefox, everything is symectrical however at work and on my fathers computer through IE the right side has a thick white/silver strip that is about 5 times bigger than on the left. Through Firefox this is fine though?

Is anyone able to tell me why this is and a way to resolve it? im currently playing around this php and learning as i go so i would really aprieciate the hand.

Cheers

I thought this would be fairly simple, but I haven't been able to find an answer in the forums. When creating a new node, the user is presented with a select box that contains the associated vocabulary. I'd like to show the terms as radio buttons instead. Is there a simple way to do this that I'm missing?
