New Enviromental sites
Hi there,
this site at www.envirogroup.com.au is built on the Zen Sub theme. There were two other affiliate sites www.envirobrite.com.au and www.enviroshop.com.au. The latter two sites were built using Amity Island theme from drupal.org, but I had to change it so much in the end I realise for me now that it is always easier to start from 'scratch' with Zen and work up from there. Thanks Zen Sub Theme!
Renaee.
Content published based on paid membership - Help
I have a developer that has a post on the Drupal.org site. He is needing help with publishing content vs. non-published content based on paid membership. Please - if anyone can help lead him in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks,
Tami
New Dutch site in Zen
Hi, I just launched e new site with a Zen theme: http://www.hetabc.nl
This is a site for educational consultancy in Amsterdam. Design by Screenborn, building by me (Kleine Stappen)
What could I have done better?
Fluid Grid Zen subtheme
Based on fluid960gs and Zen 960 I cobbled together the start of Zen fluid960. It is pretty darn rough at this stage. For example, the push and pull classes from zen_ninesixty aren't implemented at all so moving display of blocks out of the source order isn't working.
Announcing Zenophile 2.0
The 2.0 branch of the Zenophile module is now in the beta stage!
Have you heard of Zenophile? It's a simple module which automates the process of creating Zen subthemes - no more copying and editing files by hand. Just fill out a few form elements and click a button, and your new Zen subtheme is ready for you to start working with.
HTML 5 with Zen
(Reposting this from an issue which didn't get any feedback - hoping I can get more attention here.)
Showcasing a showcase - http://stuar.tc/lark
This is the site that I've been trying to finish for well too long, my own personal portfolio. While not an overly complicated site, every little detail had to be just right before I could confidently launch the site.
Sub theme of Zen used for OoglieBooglie.com
We recently launched a sub theme of Zen for a client here in Virginia Beach, VA -- http://www.oogliebooglie.com. OoglieBooglie is a place where artists and art lovers gather. Artists create designs that they think would look great printed on a T shirt. OoglieBooglie and the members vote for the designs they think are the best. Then, OoglieBooglie prints the design on T shirts and sells them on the site. The artist then gets paid $2 USD per shirt sold on the site for an entire year.
A more detailed post is available at http://drupal.org/node/509602.
Open Source Catholic
Open Source Catholic, a site devoted to helping people in the Catholic faith share resources and information about how they accomplished certain things, especially using open source solutions, is using a Zen subtheme listed on Drupal.org and created especially for the site: Airy Blue.
Northern California SBDC
We at Precision Intermedia built a new site for the Northern California Small Business Development Center and several of its district offices. The SBDC is a non-profit organization which helps small businesses develop and grow; attracting investors, managing HR, etc. And of course we used Zen to build their themes.
Zen subtheme used for University of Washington website
I recently launched a UW website using a custom design based on the Zen theme. It was fairly easy (and fun) customizing the theme to meet the site's requirements.
Adding classes and functions
Hello guys.
I'm starting to work on Drupal and I'm gonna build a few themes based on Zen.
But I'm still not used with the .info file. I'd like to add some custom classes and function on the subthemes, by adding new .php files, and if possible it should be added just once on the base Zen theme and just referenced on the other themes.
The problem is that I can't make it work... It works if on each page/story I use the include_once function, as in this exemple:
include_once("sites/all/themes/zen/zen/Mailto.php");
$mailto = new Mailto();
header clickable in Firefox not Safari
I am having a problem with the header of this website: http://primary-sources.eui.eu/. Except for the 3 small logo's the whole header should be clickable and direct to the frontpage.
It is clickable in Firefox but not Safari (except for the 3 logo's that I have defined in page.tpl.php). This worked until recently also in Safari and I have no idea what is going on. Would anybody know how to make the header clickable again? I assume I need to adjust something in page.tpl.php?
Thanks and best,
Gerben
Zen-6x-1.0 Defaults Theme settings and Subtheme (zen-6x-1.0 @ Drupal-6.12 )
Hello World : )
I'm experiencing a lot of problem customizing my own subtheme with Zen-6x-1.0 because of the defaults theme settings overriding the subthemes ones .
Apparently (googling around ...) this problem seems to be already known but i can't find a clear solution to either disabling the default settings or the subthemes parameters ....
Any tips, links or info will be much appreciated
Zen helped me center logo
I'm finding it harder to figure out where to post this tidbit than to solve the original problem. But, I felt too guilty seeing 38 pages of search results for "center logo". Anyway, I was finally able to center my logo in my Zen sub-theme by adding "float: none" and "text-align: center" to the #logo part of my renamed css.
I'd post it somewhere else, but I have no idea if this works for Garland sub-themes etc, and I also don't know if its the "right" way to do it. Thanks again, Zen is awesome.
Whitecap Custom Rods using zen
I just completed a new Drupal site for Whitecap Custom Rods using a Zen subtheme. Zen let me easily integrate the graphics the company was using in print into a very functional Drupal Theme. I'm very pleased with the result, and my clients are thrilled.
Riven Design using Zen
I've just created a Zen subtheme for my website, RivenDesign.com. This was my first Drupal site when I built it a couple of years ago, it was long past due for some updates.
User Login Box
Hiya,
I'm running Drupal 6.x with Zen 1.0. I'm trying to get the User Login block to appear (preferably) in the header area or (less preferably) in the navbar in my fluid layout subtheme. Oh, and new to it all!
I've read a huge amount that seems to advocate just having a separate bar at the top, by hard coding against page.tpl.php - doesn't seem like the right way to do it to me! It's only layout, so I should be able to do that with CSS - right?
So far the changes that I've made to my theme that seem relevant (i.e. not just color statements) are:
Website launched! Drupal Design Camp Boston
The Drupal Design Camp Boston website is launched and we are getting ready for the June 13-14 event at MIT.
The attendee list is growing, and the sponsors are almost as excited as we are!
If you plan to attend, jump in at http://boston.design4drupal.org and sign up before it fills up completely.
Attendees can submit sessions, post to forums, join live chat on IRC, make small financial donations, and check out the latest News.
You can also follow us on twitter at D4DBoston.
Zen theme: Homebrew Exchange, home beer and wine brewing
For simplicity's sake, we didn't deviate much from the stock Zen layout. Some resizing, styling, and a color scheme were all that were needed to make a decent looking and easy to develop site.
Also uses a custom (cck, views) content type for homebrew beer recipes. Much more to come on the site but so far, I'm pleased with D6+Zen as an easy starting place.
Thanks Zen Contributors!
