Design For Drupal

I'm adding display formatters to the Media module, and could use some feedback.

I have a Drupal website that is almost ready to go live.

I need some help with fixing a few small issues to complete the site, namely:

1) "Beautify" a table pricing page using CSS
2) Fix the current Ubercart upgrade patch problem, as well as the issues to do with regions in the Ubercart signup form
3) Help investigate & fix a cron error problem to do with memory

This is a small job but if everything goes well, we may offer further work in developing our OG sections.

I have fading images are not showing on the front page when I log out is that permissions, a block created w/ Views Rotator, is this permissions?,
everything is working fine when I am logged in but once logged out the cycle of fading images appear?

I looked through permissions but nothing seemed relevant, I wondered if it was one of the settings in Views?

Thanks

Kevin

Currently I am experimenting with something I dubbed 'Design modules', and I would like to contribute this idea back to the community and bounce off some ideas. Please feel free to give constructive feedback on this, and whether I am heading in the right direction. This is not to be considered a definitive write up by any means, but just one designer's journey in getting to learn how to design in Drupal, and where needed improve this process.

Short background and case study

So some of the discussion of how and what and where were gonna take this whole drupal frontend debate will be taken to a new home:
http://project.designfordrupal.org/
The groups is offcourse open to everyone with a wish in getting the frontend of drupal to move forward.
for now its a place where we can clear our mind, and figure out what to do :)
. so come and join the discussion

more about this is at http://www.mattfarina.com/2009/9/design-4-drupal-building-their-own-home

This dosnt mean this group is abandoned, the new site is a supplement

I'm developing a site for a local restaurant. I'm using drupal because they wanted to easily modify things like daily specials and menus. I'm currently going through the process of reworking the bluemarine theme to fit my design. They have no interest in having user logins for people who are really just going there to check out the menu and the phone number.

Adobe's annual MAX conference is taking place this October 4-7th in Los Angeles, CA. I will be presenting three Drupal related sessions at this conference for Adobe. Most of my sessions show people how to customize Drupal 6 through themes, modules, and its administration. My sessions are 1-1.5hrs, with one session being a lab (BYOL: Bring Your Own Laptop Lab).

Adobe MAX is a paid conference, and has something like over 200 sessions. Early bird discount still available (as of this writing).

http://max.adobe.com

My sessions are:

• Customizing Drupal Using Dreamweaver - skill: Beginner - Learn how to install Drupal, a robust, full-featured web content management system, and publish your first pages. You'll be guided through common designer workflows using Drupal and learn how to customize Drupal theme templates. When this lab is complete, you'll be able to take your new skills back to work and be more productive.
• Exploring Web Content Management Systems from a Designer's Perspective - skill: Beginner - Watch an expert guide you through a selection of today's popular web content management systems and learn which one is right for you. This session will include detailed demonstrations of WordPress, Drupal, and the Adobe InContext Editing service in action, covering installation and publishing.
• Learn to Rock Drupal Using Dreamweaver - skill: Beginner - Explore the functionality of Drupal from a designer's perspective while learning about the most common workflows. Learn how to integrate Drupal with Dreamweaver and how to use Creative Suite 4 Web Premium to customize Drupal theme templates.

I have presented at MAX before, and attended twice. This conference is huge. Last year 5,000 attendees ran around chatting Flash, Flex, AIR, Photoshop, After Effects, everything Adobe. One of the new things Adobe has done at MAX is run un-conferences inside the main conference building. Last year there were four un-conferences going on all week inside MAX, adding to the already hundreds of sessions. This year I am involved with the Web CMS theme of the conference, promoting Drupal & PHP. Some of you know my Drupal Dreamweaver extensions and Theme Starter desktop software, so I am glad to be exclusively covering Drupal in my talks this year. One session covers the different approaches in Web CMS software like Wordpress & Drupal. For that session I will be sharing the stage for that session with a Wordpress counterpart. I hope that session turns into a feature flinging match as it'll help me get caught up with Wordpress limitations.

I'd like to promote the MAX conference to the Drupal community, and at the same time ask who is already planning to attend. We can meet up and rep Drupal together.

Hello guys,
I'm very glad to see you here.

The problem I came across is: I need to develop a CMS for the admin. The admin has several sites to handle, each site having its own theme. The admin requires a simplified theme when he manages these sites. So I creat a light one and put it into the sites/all/theme/ folder.

But now, the admin says when he 'preview' the node in the 'edit' page, the node and its original theme should be present. In other words, the 'preview' window should take an another theme that different from the current one the admin uses.

I have a project where I'm reorganizing the content for a client (moving blocks around, changing menus), potentially installing and configuring some new modules, and putting it all in a new theme that I have designed using BlueprintCSS. I should also mention this is my first from-scratch theme, and my first time using Blueprint.
