Hello,

I am new to Drupal and have been progressing nicely.

PHPTEMPLATE offers the control over the pages I'd like, but I am stumped.

How do I specify which template to use where?

For instance, I'd like to use a different template for the front page than I would a story. Same with the blog section.

Thanks!

I decided to experiment with the CVS version of Drupal and phptemplate in preparation with 4.7 and for some reason I can't get $sidebar_left and $sidebar_right to show up. $content, $breadcrumbs are just fine.

I don't see a ton of activity in the CVS logs for the phptemplate project or anything that would indicate that major changes are in the works for the way you would implement a page.tpl.php file.

I am working on my first drupal theme and want to know if there is a full list of the elements required/i should include in my css.

i have created the layout already in css, yet of all the different themes i have looked at the coding of, i often find contradictory elements or they are structured in not the clearest way to follow.

I do not want to add the php (i am/will be using the php engine - unless someone convinces me otherwise) until i have all the syles down.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of css elements?

I've done some pretty radical changes to how I display content on my nodes. The problem that this presents for me is that when I display content by taxonomy, I've got some major problems. Basically I want to have two kinds of templates per node type- a listing template and a landing template. I know that there is a concept of "teaser" but this hasn't been sufficient for me. So the hack I came up with is the following:

<? $httpvars = ($GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']); 

if (stristr($httpvars['REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING'],'taxonomy')) 
	{ // do listing display  }
else { // do landing display} 

?>

Anybody else have ways of doing this that are straightforward?

I am trying to port Ruthsarian's Skidoo Too template to Drupal and getting on OK. However, the theme breaks if I navigate to any page below the top level, as if it can't find the stylesheet.

The CSS file is called "style.css" and it is located in the folder "themes/Skidoo_too"

I call the style from page.tpl.php using the code print $styles
