Theme development

This has me stumped. I am creating a custom php based theme. When I go to global theme configuration and unclick the checkbox where it says "Display post information on: page", I still get the post information and it says 'by moses' with no time or date. It is contained in the string of the $content variable and it comes first before the other content. If I turn on the chameleon theme, the post information does not display.

How can I use different templates for different content types (categories) in one theme?

Is it possible.
For example:
I have to content page categories: news and infopages

I need to load news on one template and infopages on another.
What is the solution?

Thanks.

Hello, I am developing a journal-website using Drupal and tested a number of themes.

I am now working to create my own theme using a 3 Column CSS layout, and found a
few neat layouts at:

http://www.glish.com/css/7.asp
and
http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/layout3.html

I'm working on a new theme, as mentioned in a previous post, but the thing is that the section of the admin panel for theme administration overflows over my right-hand sidebar. Is there a way to change this in my theme's code?

I'm working on a static theme for Drupal, but here is the problem: the administration menu is too big for the div, and is overflowing onto the content, and in some cases the administration panel's content is overflowing onto the right-hand div. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm seeking help...

In the process of developing a site based on 4.7.0 (currently using beta 3) and have a display issue with Internet Explorer and the BlockBar / ControlPanel modules.

The screenshot here shows the two seperate problems I've been able to identify, but basically, opening a blockbar menu causes some strange display issues with the closed menu underneath (screenshot stage 2) and the bottom menu doesn't open at all.
