Theme development

Hi,

This post is related to
'(How to) create a 'collaborators' section?' - http://drupal.org/node/72901
and 'Show role name next to each node?' - http://drupal.org/node/70887

I have to create a new collaborators section on top of a Drupal (4.6) installation I've already done. If you read the posts above you'll see I find myself pretty lost trying to find the propper (simpler) solution. One of the ways to follow will rely mostly on existent Drupal features + theming.

Scenario: say I, as an admin, create some users with the 'collaborator' role and I let them (the 'collaborators') post to a defined taxonomy category. I'd like to show

1. all posts by 'collaborators' (newer to older). Paginated. Each node will be accompanied by the avatar plus the name of the collaborator, besides the common $links info (comments, posted date, read more for excerpts,..)
2. all posts by one single collaborator. Paginated. On top of that page we can have a brief info about the collaborator
3. a list of collaborators linking to their own c.v. (resume or 'my account')

Note that all nodes will be authored by a 'collaborator' (role) so nodes should be chosen on a author role basis. If this is a problem I could create a new 'exclusive' category for collaborators called 'Collaborations' though. In that last case nodes could be chosen on a category (taxonomy) basis.

Hello - I've chosen the Fancy theme pretty much as is for a writing group I'm setting up. I disabled sIFR according to the instructions in the readme, but also want to disable sIFR in the logo. Does anyone know how I can do this? Simply, hopefully?

Hi

I want to add an image in bluemarine but when I try to change the .css all the site is upside down...

where should I add that?

#myimage {
position: absolute;
top: 120px;
left: 44px;
width: 585px;
height: 461px;
background-image: url(../images/myimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: 1;
}

thank you

I am trying to add the block contents to the header area of my theme. for instance, I am adding a tagadelic cloud near my logo in the header area. how do I do this?

Here's today's drama. Organic groups puts an XML feed icon into the $node.body (and syndicate puts its own).

(WHy isn't there simply a "node footer" template variable for all this stuff? It COULD have been "links" div, and thinks could be added to it with an array, but since it was named links and not node-footer, module writers seem to just tack on what they want whereever they want it).

Anyway, I want to move the XML and Feed icons out of a parent node completely , and place them in the footer (near a copyright) or the very bottom of the parent node.

when i post html code i loose my menu, the menu going down so i dont know what is happening

the problem is with a node containing a
