ujuijui ... quite some work to do ...

The new drupal.org theme shows the number of comments for a node (story) on the home page and also the number of reads. What is the piece of php I inline to display the number of reads?

Hi all,

I'm trying to get nodes grouped together in the middle of the front page by type so for example the lastest 10 blogs are together in a box or table one after the other from newest to oldest. Same for stories, events etc.. that will give users a quicker glance of what's going on in the site.

Any way to do this in Drupal:

(in it's own css div) November 26th 2002
(in their own css div) all posts for this day

(in it's own css div) November 24th 2002
(in their own css div) all posts for this day

and so on ... on the Druapl front page?

I really just need to know if you can group posts by day with a header above it... i have all the css details worked out...

Thanks for any help....

The Smarty Theme should have a CAVEAT placed in the Readme.txt which says :

NB: It is not a 'full featured' theme.
1. Taxonomy Links will not appear.
2. On index page the full node will appear; in comparison to more standard display of 'teaser' in other themes.

based on smarty templates theme, i've been (trying to) develop a tabless CSS layout... anyone else succeed?

in order to get my design working, i needed to eradicate some of the table formatting that was in the book.module and the comment.module...

that's not a great way to make themes, is it?

i wish i could post my tabless CSS idea, and have other people play with it and improve it... but it's so kludgy, what with all the module hacks in it. eek.
