Theme development

http://notetoselfdontdie.com/members/node/86

so far, all i have been able to do is change the background of the button from transparent to white... and also generate loads of errors... argh...

the text in the .theme file mentions the properties for changing the color of the foreground/icon...

however they are listed in what looks like to me in a different "formate" than any of the parameters found in the .theme file... so being a non-technical dude i am trying loads of different things and of course nothing is working...

here is what the .theme file says:

**
* The default mp3 player is the flash XSPF player. If you want to override
* this behavior you can do so at the theme level.
*
* A couple of options that may be of interest:
* - backgroud color. If it's not specified, it'll default to transparent.
* 'b_bgcolor' => "000000"
* - foregroung (border and icon) color.
* 'b_fgcolor' => "FF0000"
* - foreground color by state. The order is: connecting (spinner),
* ready (arrow), playing (square), and ??? (not sure). The b_fgcolor value
* will be used for any ommitted values.
* 'b_colors' => "ff0000,,00000ff,000000",
*
* @param $node
* node object
* @param $options
* array of options to pass to the player. This allows you to override the
* any parameter passed to the player including colors, title,
* @return
* HTML string with a flash player

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to figure out the what the block visibility settings would be for the gallery.module. I'm no expert at php and I'm pretty sure that none of the snippets were for Gallery. So I'm trying to create my own here, but unfortunatly, I have no idea how to get started on it, or if it is even possible since Gallery technically isn't part of the drupal structure.

Here is what I dug up from the handbooks, can this be used for the Gallery somehow?

Please let me know. Thanks in advance,

whats the correct way to deal with textboxes which extend beyond a themes layout?
for example : I have a 3 column layout and the 'message' box of contact.module is too wide.
Do I create a new function in template.php with a smaller width or can this be dealt in css?
Or can I set the size of all 'textarea' fields somewhere globally?

Thanks,

V

Hello,

Hi,

I have a custom flexinode theme so I don't print the $content variable. How can I display medium vote on this page (theme)

I have try :

print theme('mediumvote_widget', 'node', $node->nid);

but it's not working. It's only printing vote(0).

What can I do?

Thank you

Nicholas

I'm running 4.6 with the Connections theme. If I upgrade to 4.7, will my theme explode, or crash, or otherwise make things awkward for me?

Thanks in advance.
