Theme development

I thought this would be easy, but how would i get the $base_url value in phptemplate?

Hello all,

First off, I tried searching through this forum to find a simple solution to my question but alas, I found nothing that I was able to understand. Please excuse my ignorance, but I am a brand newbie to the Drupal community, and not very much of a programmer. However, I do have a limited knowledge of PHP coming from the PostNuke world.

I am trying to follow this tutorial located here:

http://www.drupalart.org/phpbb

I've gotten everything setup as far as the php-template theme, and I have template.php already. But where I get stuck is when it says, "If you already have a template.php file, simply merge this code with the other php code you might have in the file."

For the past few hours, this has not been a simple task for me. I really don't know how to begin with merging these two files.

I just try to keep putting the code in places I think it might fit and I receive error messages such as this one:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _phptemplate_variables() (previously declared in /home/threeone/public_html/d/themes/civicspace/template.php:250) in /home/threeone/public_html/d/themes/civicspace/template.php on line 893

I don't want to give up on Drupal because I think it looks very promising in the things it can do and I am trying my best to learn it.

So if anyone knows how to at least, point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking around, and searching, but can't find a specific file that needs to be edited to put an 'Incude whatever.html' statement into the source code so that I can easily update an html file rather than updating source code all the time.

I want it to show up at the top-right of the pushbutton theme. The side blocks work great for left, and right, but there is no top-right option next to the logo.

It would seem it would go into the .css for the theme, but I wasn't sure if I could put that in there.

Thanks in advance for the help

hi,
can someone show me how to displya only article title without any teaser?

Like a list of articles with date and authors

article 1 dfjijejfdj
idfjijfijdifjidfjsd
idjfisjdfflsjfdlsijf
idfjijiewjfrwjefwef

appreciated

I was wondering if there was some type of module that would allow me to edit my "teaser" content that shows up in my categories. I would want this to be different from the actual content on the "body" and not just an auto generated blurb of the body. I suppose I could go into the database and edit this for each one, but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for a quicker or better way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

i'm looking for more customise drupal thmes which is currently is very limited...anyone have a good themes pls share with me...
