Theme development

I am creating a custom book page where users can go to list all books. This page, eventually, will let them search on a specific taxonomy category or all of them. I am still in the early stages, and already I am encountering troubles. Can anyone help me display the taxonomy term for a particular book? I am thinking it is a JOIN of {term_data} and {term_node}, but I can not figure it out. Admittedly, I am not familiar with database calls as much as i should be. I hope to build that knowledge as this continues.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, all, I am having some trouble with two things rendering in IE. The
site is created in Drupal, and is currently in maintenance mode, but
the two errors show up on the login page which is accessible in offline
mode. Neither of these errors occurs in Firefox 1.5 (IE or Mac) or
Safari. I haven't gotten beyond that in testing. The url is

Ive created a custom node type with CCK.
I've created a custom theme file in wich I themed the node.

So far so good. All the fields i've defined in het CCK-node are displaying nicely.

I've also made the node type an event. So I get an extra couple of fields. But now I can't figure out how to display those fields.
I'd like to theme the start-date, end-date and starting-hour seperatly.

Anyone know the code for displaying this??

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.

Hi,

I am running 4.6 and I am trying to change the colours [just the colours] on the Blix template. I have been able to use the CSS to change most of what I want but I can't figure out how to control the colour change for these two items:
1. The faint drak grey vertical line between the nodes and the blocks
2. What looks like the background colour in area occupied by "posted in" and acts as the divider between nodes.

thanks
