help pls: change styles - block heading; feedback module, etc

I am beta testing a new (personal) theme and in working though the issues i have come across one i cannot see a fix for...

I want to either remove the 'Use this form to send us feedback' (preferably) from the feedback page or change the style of the block header from h2 [i tried hacking the module to remove this line - no luck)

There is also the same issue with this style on a number of pages.

A big issue is on the input formats (admin/filters) page

The permissions and settings selectors is too wide - i can't remember where i change the value...

New themes: Sands and Sands_CSS

I've made two new Drupal themes available: Sands and Sands_CSS.

Sands had been available for a while but I never really announced it; I've made a lot of changes to it since then, and split into two versions. My motivations for creating this theme I've voiced in another thread: Creating a new Bluemarine-like generic theme.

The “normal” version (“Sands”) uses tables for layout, similar to Bluemarine, Fancy, etc. It works great in 4.6 and 4.6 across many browsers.

The CSS version (“Sands_CSS”) uses a fairly advanced “holy grail” 3 column CSS layout, with all the nice tidbits: it's fluid/elastic (scales with font size changes), has source-ordered columns (main column appears first in the HTML) for better SEO. It works well in Firefox, KHTML (Konqueror and Safari), but unfortunately not too well in Internet Explorer, especially in 4.6, because of weird CSS problems triggered by the use of <base href=”...”>

They both use Mark James' Silk CMS icons to emphasize certain links, like the author, node date/time, read more, add comment, etc links. This is common in Wordpress themes but hasn't been popular with Drupal themes.

One of my major goals with this theme was to make it easily modifiable: I'd want to use this theme to develop other, more-custom themes. CSS rules are well-laid out and separated, for example colors.css solely styles colors and is meant to be modified. Layout.css contains things such as paddings and margins, which most people do not need to modify. The column layout code (in case you want to use your own) is also segregated, which makes the difference between Sands and Sands_CSS only two files. Removal of icons.css removes the use of the Silk icons in case you did not like them. So on and so forth.

Music community site/theme

This is essentialy a cross-post from where I happily host my site. Hopefully I'm posting in the right section, 'cuz I'm essentially looking for a template/theme that I can use for my own purposes, as well as anybody who'd find some use in this type of site.

I recently came across the newly designed site for Little Radio. It surprised/impressed me
for several reasons:

  • It's a great looking site
  • Is pretty rich with multimedia (photos, podcasts, streaming radio, playlists, etc.)
  • Most of the content seems to be seamlessly aggregated from outside sources
  • The kicker is that it's done on wordpress!!

Another fine site (obviously built by the folks behind this) was built on Django.

Upon exploring these sites, it raised a few questions:

  • Can Drupal do this? Ok, that's a stupid question.
  • What are some examples of similar drupal sites?
  • Is there some sort of blueprint/process? Themes, modules, and all that good stuff?
  • If there really isn't something quite similar, how could we set up an open-source/Drupal version of this?

My slogan is not appearing in my custom theme. When I view the source, the div that contains it is totally empty, here's my code up to the slogan:

Mollio theme paging issue

I am testing the Mollio theme, it really looks beautiful. However, there's a small bug or maybe i missed something here, but when paging thru a list of users, it only shows one page: It says, 1 of 1, and this page only shows about 15 users, i actually have more than 200 users. The paging is not working properly, it should show more links to the rest of the users, like: 1 | 2 | 3 next last.

This problem is only happens when using the Mollio theme.

Is anyone using this theme, did you have any issues similar to mine?

Thanks.

A different ID for each input checkbox and radio

Hi!
I'm using a javascript to replace the default radio buttons and checkboxes with custom images.

It's this one :

http://www.codeproject.com/jscript/wdxinputreplacer.asp#xx1276237xx

It's really nice but the problem is that all inputs must be given unique IDs otherwise the script will not be able to identify which input has been checked/unchecked.

Well, my question is : How can each input have a unique ID ?

Do you have any idea ? :)
