Drupal 4.7.x

Sorry if this has been answered already. My quick search didn't turn anything up, and my four-year old is running out of patience with me...

I'm trying to learn how to create a new theme with PhpTemplate. I want to create one main theme with a couple of subthemes, pretty common stuff. However, it appears that the $directory variable always returns the main theme directory. I mean, if I have:

themes/mytheme

And a subtheme:

themes/mytheme/sub1

Hey all,

I'm redesigning a website that already has things like a bulletin board and other database functions on it that i've set up and run. They are all working just fine, so mysql, php and apache are all good. I've added the database for drupal, the user and privs, flushed the db, edited the settings.php file etc, but no go when I load the index.php initially. I still get the "Unable to connect to the database server"

Hello,

Just thought I'd try a clean install of Drupal 4.7, and it's working well so far. I have a problem configuring the Control Panel module, however. The module works, to an extent, but if I try to modify its options under Settings, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_select() in /home/.jeoffry/eternalcow/culture.sethwilson.us/modules/controlpanel/controlpanel.module on line 153

I don't know any php, so I have no idea what's going on. Thanks. :)

My homepage is going to be displaying a number of different items; blog posts, stories, etc. I'd like to visually seperate each item by their type similar to what Always-On Network does (alwayson-network.com). This would be accomplished through CSS, applying styles to specific node types.

I've read a bit about FlexiMAX which, i think, is a patch to flexiNode. Not sure if this is supported in 4.7 or if any development work is being done to bring this to 4.7.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks

i noticed within the Blocks page that my the highlighted areas (to show you where your blocks can go) no longer includes the Header location.

The "Header" location is still an option for each block, but the area highlighted is no longer visible. When I try to place a block in these areas, nothing appears.

Any ideas?

this is a pretty simple straightforward question.

im using 4.7 with box_grey theme. Im trying to find the CSS element that will let me wrap each content item with a 1 pixel border. ive attempted to put the statement border: solid 2px #4379B0; in a number of locations but I keep finding that either the title is left out of the border, or the service_links or Read More links are left out.
