Theme development

I am currently working on a few Drupal 4.7 sites that are going to be launched within the next month. One of these sites gets quite a lot of traffic. Another is popular. The third will be a fresh launch. (There are many more after these three, too.)

I know a bit about creating Drupal sites to manage content, but I am not a designer. I had a sweet designer, but he is no longer working with Drupal. I am consistently making LOTS of sites, and need someone solid.

I have been looking around for a while now for someone who can really create a flexible, versatile, fresh Drupal 4.7 theme that has the look and feel/appeal of the Web 2.0 style. (Using XHTML, CSS, PHP, AJAX, etc., obviously.)

I have come across quite a few people who do this sort of thing, but all of them are so busy they don't have time to take on more work! Drupal is sky-rocketing, and they are in high demand. :)

So, I am putting this out here (after long hours of searching and searching and contacting and contacting to no avail) for people who might catch this and say, "Hey, wait, he's talking about ME! I need the work!"

If this is you, reply and post your website/portfolio here, or else contact me through my contact form at:

I have a feeling (after having looked around for so long) that this post might be helpful for a lot of others out there who are in a similar situation. Drupal is just too good to resist these days, and it shows! :)

geniouses of drupal please help

im new to dupal and i think i just read all the threads ever opened about it

ive been trying to theme the commenting system completely. take it out of the $content and theming the comment form as well.

the problem i seem to be having has to do with the drupals behaviour after hitting 'post comment' submit button:

we have this website, blackandpowell.com. On the right sidebar, "new forum topics", we want to edit it so that it displays more than five of the most recent forum topics. We also want to change the heading "new forum topics."

Where do we paste the php snippet to change this, and other stuff about the sidebars?

We're brand new to drupal.

Thanks!

This is one of those rare cases where I feel like I've tried everything! Help would be much appreciated...

I have created a custom theme. I'm using front.tpl.php to have a completely different layout for my home page. On it I would like to place a custom login box, which toggles to a My Account / Logout link when the user is already logged in. All other login boxes are working fine -- it's just the one on the home page that's giving me grief. It simply (re)loads the page without logging the user in.

I am (well, was, as I have it disabled now to try and get this working) using LoginToboggin. I tried the snippet on this page with no luck. I'm using clean URLs, so I updated the form action to match. No luck. I grabbed various form/field properties from viewing source on other login pages. Still no luck. I checked out the user.module file to see where Drupal gets its form settings from and saw this:

$form['#action'] = url($_GET['q'], drupal_get_destination());

If I'm reading that right, it seems that Drupal gets the form's action from the hidden page destination field itself. *scratches head*

Anyway, that's a whole lot of rambling about what I've done, but I have no idea what else to try. How does one create a login box from scratch??

Anyone who would like to take a look is welcome to contact me for the URL.

I'm trying to get "text wrap" to work on 4.7 regions. My layout is :

print $content;

if ($right1) {

}
if ($right2) {

Hi does anyone have good links for drupal theme development and or customization?

I have read the manual but it is hard to read, and "impossible" to understand, drupal sound great, but why is theming so hard on drupal and so easy on toehr system?
