Hi there,
I'm quite new to Drupal, but one of the important things for me to do, was to be able to me to customise the look of my Drupal site. This is one of the most important things I want from a CMS system (which I am also new to by the way!).
Reading about Drupal it seems great, however, I'm really struggling to get going with my own Theme.
I've been reading about PHPTemplate, and perhaps I just need to give it more time for it all to settle in my head, but I'm just finding it hard to really get anywhere.
For example, I set my self the following task:
I'm going to take the available box theme, and I am going to make the main contents table of this theme, be positioned somewhere different on the screen.
So I had a look at the page.tpl.php file and noted the main table has an “id” of "content".
So I then looked to the related css file (style.css in the same folder) and noted the existing "#content" style. I therefore thought that if I add a new “left” and “top” values to this of 1px, this should make the table move to the top left of the screen.
So the section of the style.css file became:
#content {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 1em;
left: 1px;
top: 1px;
}
However, when uploading the new file, reselecting the theme from the administrator menu and then refreshing good measure (using IE 6) I did not get any new results.
