Theme development

Could anyone please point out how to customize/change the display for URLs like http://www.ssvpsonline.com/profile/profile_passout/2000

I want to have this list in better formatted way.

Thanks

Is it possible to automatically set the length of trimmed posts to something like 50 characters instead of 200? I understand that I can use the break comment but this still seems a bit tedious as I have 100's of nodes. Thanks!

My problem, shown in that image, is that images are overlapping the end-of-node lines seperating the node samples on the front page. Is there any way to fix this? It happens on all the themes that I've tried.

ok... I am close to committing my self to the nut house after spending days on this very bizarre problem... too hard to really describe well; but will give it a shot.

- Drupal 4.7

- I started hacking up the box_grey template and css to make a completely tableless CSS layout

- was pretty close .. then WHAM!!! something happened

- I have stripped almost everything out of my page.tpl.php so that all I am left with is a few DIVs holding a few IMGs.. and NOTHING else - no borders, no content - nothing.

- so, if I am not mistaken... if I go to any page (by typing in url on address because I have no content on my page to select links from) - I should see my simple page.tpl.php - RIGHT????

and sure enough at mysite/admin I get the following screenshot:

www.allanalog.com/admin.jpg

all seems cool!!

however; if I go to a NODE (mysite/node/19) ... I get the browser taking very long to draw out a completely corrupted page with all images missing:

www.allanalog.com/node.jpg

NOW.. if this wasn't odd enough... if I do a view source on the corrupted page.. it looks fine... AND... if I save this source to an html file and load that.. it looks fine...

and one more thing to add to the insanity... I think this may have all started when in installed the categories module... and I think that if I return to a database which has not had the categories.mysql addition done.. then this all works fine....

Hi,

Hey guys,

Using Content Construction Kit (CCK) and trying to figure out how to pick out individual elements from CCK nodes (in the same way that could be done with Flexinodes) for node layout.

Below is the standard way a field would be recalled into a theme from a flexinode.

<?php print $node->flexinode_9 ?> 

It looks like CCK fields aren't created in the same numeric way and flexinode fields.

Does anyone know how I would recall an element like "field_example"?

Cheers,

Alex
