Theme development

I am trying to pull the comment submission form inside of the content of my page. However, PHPTemplate doesn't seem to have this level of granularity. As far as I can tell the content of my page and my comment form is embeded within the $content variable. Digging around in the comment.module shows me that there are theme_ functions for various parts of the comment mechanism but nothing like page.tpl.php where I could move the HTML that output the comment form up into a different part of my page.

Thhe following break occurs with phptemplate and any compatible theme on Tiger:

Fatal error: phptemplate_init(): Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in ./themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine on line 55

The only clue I have yet is this may be due to Tiger PHP being built with a MySQL client API < 4.1.x.

Not sure about what to do.

How do I pass variables from a module to phptemplate?

I read topic Making additional variables available to your templates, created 'template.php'. I tried to add new variable and assign it some value from module hook (i need sections_in_section()). But it doesn't work, it says 'no such function defined'.

Am I stupid or it's not possible? Please, help me. Thanks in advance.

I think it might be very cool to create a "Google theme".

The primary/secondary links could replace the links above the search bar there. Instead of the ads on the right side, you could have the links and blocks, and the search results could be replaced with the news items/nodes.

This would be great for news sites, imo.

I can start on this, but I'm wondering what theme would be the best starting point?

Thanks :)

Hello to all.

I´m having a strange problem with the greenmarinee theme. Currently my front page looks fine in mozilla, but in IE it moves the articles down in position below the right sidebar. I´ve looked to the source code, and I view that there are some div tags not closed. Is a problem with the theme?

This is my front page: http://poquer-red.com

Ty in advance to all!

Any one image gallery, when selected, shows one row of thumbnails, and then more pages by number underneath. This leaves a largely empty page. What I want to do is to have those thumbnail spread in rows down the page, so I have about ten rows. How would I go about that?
