Theme development

Hi,

This is my first post.I installed latest drupal version 4.6.6. I downloaded many themes from drupal into my themes directory...but none of them are showing up. I also read a similar post in which the reply said theme engines have to be downloaded. I already have a theme engine installed in themes which came along with the installation. I have no clue howit should be done. Pl help me...

Thanks,

I’ve just migrated from Drupal to Wordpress and have made my previous theme available. It’s a xtemplate theme which isn’t as popular as phptemplate, but it works. The theme is a hybrid of the negen9 theme and Dan Cederholm’s previous version of SimpleBits. It only works for Drupal 4.6. It’s available freely, no credits are necessary. If someone would like to update it for 4.7, please feel free. I can provide limited support. If you have a question, please post it here or at nautis.com. A screenshot is available after the jump.

First of all, I really like Drupal as a CMS. I tired WordPress and Joomla and found it to be a little underwhelmed. I'll be moving all of my stuff to Drupal in the next couple of months.

Now my questions are the following:
1. I'm using the ADC theme and have been playing around with them. On the left side of page, the blocks have spaces in between them. How do I get rid of them?

Is there a snippet of code that you can insert into page.tpl.php that will check if an admin is logged in, and if so will display an 'edit this page' (or something like that) link next to the content? This way I wouldn't have to go through administrater > content > find my page > click edit for every page I wanted to edit. Instead I could browse my page just like normal and because I was logged in as admin, I could click the 'edit this page' link on each page for instant editing.

Hi,

I'm converting the Adc theme to get my own theme. Adc, however, does not support the site's mission.

I'd like to enable that. How do I do that?

I tried:
- adding toggle_mission to the features
- if ($mission = variable_get('site_mission', '')
{
$output .= "

";
}

but this puts the mission on every page (ofcourse)

I can't find a function to check if i'm on the front page (node) or something like that :s

Help would be much appreciated :-D

I'm porting a CSS-theme to Drupal 4.7, but have a serious problem with textarea.js and IE6.

Hoping this is an error on my side, and not a bug, I thought I'd first post here.

The problem is, that when adding a comment, the textarea of the comment screws up the layout of the page, but only in IE6. Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Opera 8.5 are showing it perfectly.
