Hello everyone,
I'm attempting to implement graphical tabs for my primary links in a customized theme. I'm using the lastest 4.7 beta, and working off a copy of bluemarine, doing incremental changes to the CSS to achieve what I want.
I have already reviewed:
http://drupal.org/node/31704
But I've run into a couple of problems:
1. The page.tpl.php code it refers to [ if (count($primary_links)) ... etc] that you need to swap out to differentiate the active tab appears to have disappeared from the latest incarnation of the bluemarine theme. Where has this gone?
2. As a starting point for customization, I've copied in the css code at the node referenced above into my stylesheet, and I'm using the the tab graphics from http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors. You can see the results here: http://www.whatdoesthatmean.ca which looks absolutely nothing like http://www.alistapart.com/d/slidingdoors/v1/v1.html.
At this point I'm not sure if that's failed because I've been unable to implement the PHP code change that's shown, or for another reason.
3. I'm also not clear, because the documentation hasn't been updated (I don't think - couldn't find it anyway) as to whether I need to download and install a theme engine separately if I'm using 4.7. I gathered from http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.0-beta that PHP was the default engine and was incorporated into the Drupal core code, but obviously I could be mistaken about that.
