Theme development

Hi guys.

I installed Drupal on my host about a month ago, and still I got mant problams.
The main one being with my sites Themes.
You see, the new site is a conversion of an older site, and there for must keep with the look and feel of the older site.
So I said to my self, no problam, I'll just build myself a theme that will take care of that, right?

Wrong.

How can I change the language used in the blocks, such as chatbox, shoutbox and blog, I want to use terms such as solution talk, comments box and news.

I can change the menu/navigation terminology but not the block titles etc.

Hi there,

I'd like to have a template switch, based on a user-role. I red many topics, and tried the solutions mentioned there. But somehow it won't function like i want. Somehow it keeps returning the page-default.tpl.php. I also tried to print the user role variable in one of my templates, but i won't return anything. I got the following code in my page.tpl.php.

Hi,

I've set up two vocabularies, one is used by internal staff only to tag articles into internal groups.

The second is used to categorize articles so users can easily find content by browsing to the appropriate category.

I don't want terms from the first vocabulary showing up at the bottom of each article. Is there a way to use a vocabulary ID to filter terms so only those that help the reader are displayed under each article?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a theme in phptemplate (I thought that was the best way to go, preparing myself for drupal 4.7).
The handbook tells me that if I want to change a standard theme function, I just follow the next steps:
* create a template.php
* find the function to edit
* put it in template.php
* replace theme_ with phptemplate_
* edit the function

But it won't work. I want to edit the breadcrumb trail.

This:

does anyone know of a drupal theme that resembles the vbulletin corporate website ... I like their design and layout ??? Any Suggestion or can anyone create this look ... please contact me !
