Theme development

Hi everybody,

It's more or less 1 week that I'm tryin' Drupal, and I've discovered some interesting things.... but..... which is the best way to create a button menu for the navigation in the upper zone of the page?! I mean, I've created my module but I didn't find a way to modify or create the navigatio bar....

I can create a new block with all the node on the side, but is not the same -_-'

I'll really appreciate your help;
Thanks

For some strange reason the layout of my website is different when you're using IE vs. FF on the PC (untested on other OS's).

I'm using the Democratica theme, and when a firefox browser views the page, the taxonomy appears just after the submitted by section. When using IE, the taxonomy info appears just after the HR following the content.

Any ideas? (page source below)

Under defaultVB theme, I get double URL's added on the Forum image on Home page, Go back, and Reload links.

The properties looks like this under Internet Explorer 6:

Incidentally, on a MAC with Tiger it looks like this:

I am working on a theme for my website. Working on the template (page.tpl.php) is quite clear. But then there are parts which are not included in there. For example I can not figure out how to format the sidebar left for example.

There are included a search box, the latest articles, etc.

Can you give me a hint? I would like to be able to influence those parts of the website, too.

Kind regards,
Holger

Hi

When I press configure on a theme I get this error:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in d:\myself\webroot\drupal-4.6.3\modules\system.module on line 649

I am using drupal 4.6.3 with the newest wampserver (sorry no *nix here)

any help?

Hi Laura,

(I'm posting this for someone else who asked for it in another discussion..)

I'm a good bit away from finishing it..and will have to move on to something else now..so here it is as if you want to play around with it:

Notes: I was using this in a flexiMAX.module test page where $bodytext = theflexiMAX field for the main body text.....but have modified it so it works with some dummy text and without flexiMAX...easier for you to play around with.

hope that makes sense and is of use. The same principle could be applied to a lengthy blog or other..

<?php
