I am building a new site based on a static page design that was given to me. I used Zen as the reference, and pasted some of the Zen style.css for my custom style.css.
I have been working through how to setup the file and page references. This is what I have found so far:
For references to pages in Drupal fields, such as Administering Menus, I used "node/2"
For references in page.tpl.php to files such as image files, I used, for example,
print $base_path . $directory /images/spacer.gif">
For hard coded node references (for why, see below) I used, for example, Note the leading "/" that was required.
For references to files in .js code (I had a slide show requirement for the front page that was done in js) I could find no alternative to hard coding it as
Picture[1] = '../sites/fumctest.localhost/files/Image/pic1.jpg';
DOES ANYONE KNOW A BETTER ALTERNATIVE FOR .js FILES?
( fumctest.localhost is the test site on my PC where I am doing the development. I set up multiple sites on my PC, and the one I am using for this testing is in the "Sites > fumctest.localhost" directory. )
