Theme development

I'm doing a survey on the Extensions feature in the Drupal 7 version of Adaptivetheme, looking forward to Drupal 8 I really would like know what people use and what could be dropped, added, improved and so on:

The official survey is online here: https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/tQDrkO

Feel free to leave comments and open discussions here or preferably in this issue: https://drupal.org/node/2118527

Cheers.

This is my first post so I apologise it it is in the wrong section.

I am using the Marinelli theme as I found it easier to modify the slider , but i really am looking for a mix between this theme and corkedscrewer basically i am looking to add the 5 Images below the slider in Marinelli that i can click on aand they take me to new pages , and i like the effect on the images

I would appreciate it if anyone could walk me through the steps on how to do this as been trying but still no luck !

Many thanks in advance

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possibile add new folders and files inside the "/sites/all/default/files" directory via FTP without affecting anything into Drupal, or I need to define them with Drupal CMS, let me know if it is possible.

Thanks,

Solution:
It is possible by adding your resources in "/yourwebsite/sites/default/files"

Step 1: Open template.tpl.php

step 2: Add below given code in template.tpl.php

function MYTHEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {

$form = drupal_get_form('search_form');
$search_box = drupal_render($form);
$variables['custom_search_box'] = $search_box;
}

Save the template.tpl.php file.

Step 3: Add below given code in page.tpl.php, In which region this form needs to print.

How do I add a custom menu to a theme file? Just want to pull a menu without any real styling and then style it myself.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi

Can someone explain me how the Zen base theme is calling the zen-internals/css/styles.css file.
If i look to the default zen.info file there is no line in here that calls this css file
The only css related line is: stylesheets[all][] = system.menus.css

So I was wondering what or who in Drupal is responsible to add the @import url for the custom styles.css file ..

Thanks In advance

Kurt
