Theme development

Hi!

I would like to change the graphics on my Drupal site. I would like to change the look and feel of the site. I have three questions:

1. Does PHPtemplate allow me to do this?

2. Can I do this in notepad instead?

3. Is there a difference between a "Theme" and a modification of the site's appearance?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, does anyone know what font was used as the drupal logo in the Goofy Template?

Thankyou

I'm using FreindsElectric and I can't figure out how to get everything to right-align in IE Explorer. (Any content where I use a filtered format to over-ride IE Explorers tendancy to center everything, it's okay. Everything else gets centered.)

For an example, please visit this page. Note how in FireFox, the center column is Right-aligned. In IE Explorer, it is centered.

Aaarrggg! May Bill Gates rot in hell.

Most of the Themes require the PHPTemplate theme engine. So I downloaded Download latest release (4.6.0, 16/04/2005 - 03:15) of PHPTemplate and unzip in themes/engine folder but it is not working when I go to the Administer->themes then it give the fatal error: Call to undefined function: system_listing() in …………\themes\engines\phptemplate\phptemplate.engine on line 14.

I am unable to find the system_listing() function in all over drupal site which I have already installed.

I'm a beginner in studying different cms and so I need to know if drupal is able to work with different themes? That means, can I apply one theme to one page and another theme to the next one?

Thank you

Hi there.

I've just started getting into Drupal, using phpTemplate.

So far I've found it pretty simple, mostly pulling stuff into the template, which I'm building from scratch. What I'm having trouble with is theming a specific block - in this case the "user" block, with the login and controls, etc.

The docs talk about block.tpl.php and show the list of variables, plus a default example. Assuming I'm heading in the right direction using a block.tpl.php file, I need a little more clarification on a few points below, please.

1. Is the file actually called "block.tpl.php" or does the name change for each block? So if I was modifying the user block in the example above, does the file become "user.tpl.php", meaning multiple files for each block?

2. Consider the following line:

<div class="<?php print "block block-$block->module" ?>" id="<?php print "block-$block->module-$block->delta"; ?>">

If I wanted to theme the user block specifically, what would the format of that line become?

3. Is it possible to have a block on one part of a page prior to login, then have the block move to another position after login? The site I'm trying to work is here:

The login box is meant to be in the blue part, but I would like to move it to the left or right side (in the whitespace) after login so I'm not crowding the page too much. There are blank tables already in place for this purpose.
