OK I have seen some of the case studies sites that use Drupal, including the featured personal site of http://urlgreyhot.com/personal/

I noticed that the login is not on this page. My question then is if a user is logged out of drupal how are they going to login back to drupal? I don't plan on having many users access my site, so I really don't want a login option on my site either, but if i were to get logged out of drupal where would I sign back in? Do I need to make some sort of page only I have the link to?

Is it possible to assign a completely separate theme for anonymous users? I am working on a site which will have 99% anonymous users. Typical drupal themes are great in that the menu systems morph to whatever the logged-in user has permissions to do, however this complexity is getting in the way of developing the theme for normal users, for example I don't need a multi-level menu system, just a simple nav bar.

What I'd like to do is use the default drupal them for Admins, and for everyone else serve them my custom theme.

Thanks,
Ivan

Using phptemplate engine we setup a customised user profile page. How can we have a link at the bottom that says print this page?

Furthermore...how can we create a custom template page that will display only specified profile_variables in a print friendly layout?

The idea is to have a link at the bottom of every custonm user_profile page with a print link that opens in a new window and has a print button/link in it.

In a nutshell, does anyone have a downloadable dark-background, three colomn, 4.7, PHP-Template based theme that I can use?

Ok, I have searched and verified that many other people have difficulties in locating a Drupal theme with a dark background. I have unsuccessfully spent many hours in hacking existing Drupal themes to get dark backgrounds and ended up with mostly dark backgrounds with gaps of white between the blocks that I cannot get rid of.

After reading the existing posts on this issue, I will hack away further at the FriendsElectric PHPTemplate theme - it is either that, or finishing the site without Drupal.

A few observations (and some ranting and raving) upon Drupal theming:

1. Theming in Drupal is simply too difficult. Many new sites have shown that a Drupal site does not have to look like something from an 'industrial age'. On the other hand it is not acceptable that days and days are spent hacking away at theming, while other CMS systems offer hundreds of downloadable themes!
2. The convention followed in the Sands theme of splitting the style sheets into colors.css, colums.css, layout.css etc. is very helpful. Maybe there should be a preferred convention, or best practice, on how to construct a theme. I would like to see themes with the purpose of being modifiable and with detailed notes. A large part of my frustration with theming is because contrary to my experience in CSS and HTML, I simply don't know why a particular Drupal theme behaves in a certain way!

Hello,

I am using the "noprob" theme for my wife's site. I liked the borders around node items found in the "Bluemarine" theme and copied and pasted the code into the noprob theme (with some adjustments). The borders work great in FireFox (just as they do in all browsers in Bluemarine). You can view it in FireFox below; not the "gap" between teasers:

Hi folks,

I wanted to theme the comment form and the comments for this current project. I need to call the comment form and comments into a seperate node i made. I was hoping i could get the format of

<?=comment_theme($nid)?>

to at least call the theming files for the form and actually comments. the comment form theme file can be seperate if needed.

any clues to if drupal can do this?

thanks in advance
