Theme development

AutoThemes.com (aka GoDrupal.com if we ever get around to building the Drupal site) is requesting beta testers for a new theme series. We have nearly 500 theme for postnuke, phpnuke, autothemes, xoops, mdpro, joomla, osc etc etc. We plan to release 100 or so themes for Drupal -- assuming all goes well. We require beta testers for our first half-dozens Drupal theme conversions. If you are interested, then please email warrick@autothemes.com -- only the first 5 or so responses will be accepted.

I am working on a new theme that involves changing the background color of the entire site from white to a different color. This includes the white area in events, etc. The problem is that I am being forced to go into css files that are not located in the themes directory. For example, the events table listing pulls it's colors from it's own css file. Also, I am am not even sure where the drupal admin menus pull their colors from yet.

My client asked me to display the known 'login or register to post comments' link, displayed in the bottom of nodes any comments-enabled drupal site, only when the full node is displayed, not in the teaser node-list view.

I am using Phptemplate. Drupal version: 4.6.1. Web server: apache. Browsers: IE/Firefox.

I've tried to modify links.tpl.php, or to override the phptemplate_comment_post_forbidden() function, or to override the phptemplate_links function - but I get into the same problem : how do I tell if this is the full node or the teaser or the main links?

Sorry if this has been answered already. My quick search didn't turn anything up, and my four-year old is running out of patience with me...

I'm trying to learn how to create a new theme with PhpTemplate. I want to create one main theme with a couple of subthemes, pretty common stuff. However, it appears that the $directory variable always returns the main theme directory. I mean, if I have:

themes/mytheme

And a subtheme:

themes/mytheme/sub1

Hello everybody,

I am really in need of some pointers: I am creating modules and want the output themed by smarty.

Here is my code so far:

Function to take over frontpage:

Have found that Netscape Navigator 6.2.1 has issues with almost any Drupal themes (or might say with Drupal core styles). Looks like it doesn't support display: block style, thus doesn't show (!) any content that have forms (or maybe smth more) in it.
