Sorry for title this isnt a flame but a serious question, Ive only used drupal for a week but one of its major drawbacks are themes, or lack of them, and also the not very user-freindly theme customization guide. In the past few months ive used joomla, mamboo, wordpress and nucleus and its hard to compare. Wp and mam/joom have well over 500 themes and nucleus has a great theme competition going on right now. Its not only the amount,these guys plus several other platforms have very well written theme guides and support, some even have css editor extensions.
I was wondering how/where to edit to place various contents on the center column of the page?
Like the onion.com? with one main story on top and then split the the cell below into two column..and etc?
does anyone got a sample code to show me how it works with phptemplate? tks very much
in the system table of the drupal database, I have one entry for type = 'theme_engine'
It lists its filename as 'themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.engine'
in the same table, system, entries with the type = 'theme', should have their descriptions match the filename of the engine.
With one exception, you guessed it: bluemarine, all of my themes have the discription of 'themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate', missing the '.engine' on the end.
I put a login area at the top of the theme. That was easy enough; I just cut&paste the login form from elsewhere. How do I get it to disappear once someone has logged in?
I have been using the sections module to use different themes for different sections of my site and it works great. The only problem I am having now is getting a theme on my homepage.
For my articles pages I used the following:
articles*
and it worked great.
Now for my homepage I am not sure how I could do this. I have tried:
