Theme development

Hi all,

I am new to Drupal theming. I have currently built a very simple site for a non-profit club. When the development process is done, moving to the theming section.

All of a sudden, a Wordpress developer come out and say that he can easily do what we do. He can just buy a Wordpress theme and then build the site with less hours than we just took the theme the site.

I am new to theming, but don't want to lose on the war to Wordpress, any insight on how to easily theme a Drupal theme that gives a professional feeling without a lot of time?

it is accurate to say they all fundamentally do not play nice with browser UI/UX of Firefox? after testing quite a number of them, am finding they all kill the usability of CTR+ keys. for example, if i want to open a link in another browser tab, CTR+ click doesn't work with any of them. i have to right click and then select "open in new tab" for it to work.

just wanted to know if any other people have this quirk or if i have to submit issue reports for each of the themes tested. they were:

Hi,

Please can someone help me how can i implement on theme settings option for site background, choosing background color (with color picker) or Image (with drupal image uploader)

Thanks

Dear All,

I am an inexperienced programmer and I just dive into Drupal theming and programming a few days ago.

I cannot figure my way out about finding the right CSS classes to modify in a subtheme I created from commerce_kickstart_theme.

Here is what I want to do.

The language switcher by default posts links via locale_block_view function in modules/locale/locale.module

function locale_block_view($type) {
  if (drupal_multilingual()) {
    $path = drupal_is_front_page() ? '<front>' : $_GET['q'];
    $links = language_negotiation_get_switch_links($type, $path);

    if (isset($links->links)) {
      drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'locale') . '/locale.css');
      $class = "language-switcher-{$links->provider}";
      $variables = array('links' => $links->links, 'attributes' => array('class' => array($class)));
      $block['content'] = theme('links__locale_block', $variables);
      $block['subject'] = t('Languages');
      return $block;
    }
  }
}

Since it is told to be dangerous to modify core modules, I had followed the advices from http://drupal.org/node/1369090 and modified my theme/template.php and added the following;

function MYTHEMENAME_links__locale_block(&$vars) {
foreach($vars['links'] as $language => $langInfo) {
$abbr = $langInfo['language']->language;

Is it possible to access to a block's content via URL?

See topic title. Does anyone have an answer?

Let me illustrate you a picture. I've spent a few hours getting my website to look remotely as it should.

The whole damned layout is different.
