Dreamweaver extension for Drupal

Does anyone have a generic CSS rule set for styling Drupal forms so that the field labels appear inline with their fields? I've worked on some projects where forms needed to be styled that way and while I've been able to get them working I've not been overly satisfied with the end result. I'm hoping that someone with more CSS chops might have already conquered the problem and be willing to share their solution.

Hi,

for about a year now I've been running a site aimed at the global cleft lip/palate community which provides a resource for the community and raises funds for cleft operations in third world countries. I am now in the process of updating/rebuilding the site (Drupal 5.7) and am looking for someone who can build a theme for me, based on a Photoshop design. The site is to be re-launched during a cleft palate conference in early July.

iTheme is one of the best GPL themes for drupal, the basic design is done by ndesign studio. because of consistent request from drupal comuunity . Today I ported this theme to D6 and ready for download

Drupal themer for a Global Neighbor Network: NABUUR.com

NABUUR is an Internet platform where villages in developing countries get direct assistance. Online volunteers help create whatever is needed in 150 villages now, and with your help in 10,000 villages soon.

We are urgently looking for a drupal themer to give: http://demo.nabuurtest.com/en/village/jinja-central the look of http://www.nabuur.com/modules/villages/mystory.php?villageid=428 .

I really need the help of the theming community on this one. It has to do with the way color.module fundamentally works and how it works with themes.

The comment here linked me to an implementation of a color-changing theme for joomla. It uses alpha-transparent PNG images and pure CSS to deliver theme changes on the fly. From the looks of it (I do not have an account there yet, but I'll buy one), essentially the layout is comprised solely of CSS and colorless transparent images.

XTND.US releases early preview download of their Drupal API extension for Dreamweaver. Reduce typing and get past plain text editing of Drupal files in Dreamweaver. If you are into Drupal and use, or want to use, Dreamweaver then you really need this extension. Let us save you tons of time by reducing keystrokes with our Drupal API code hints integration for Dreamweaver (API versions 5 & 6). The preview provides code hints for every Drupal API method.

Not only does it provide full Drupal API code hints (5.x & 6.x) in PHP files, but it also adds support for commong Drupal file types, like .module, .theme, .info, .tal, etc., and even provides code hints while editing those file types, treating then as common PHP pages. No more tweaking Dreamweaver's configuration manually, just download this free extension and makes Dreamweaver more useful when working on Drupal modules and themes.

View a demo video or download the extension at http://xtnd.us/dreamweaver/drupalapi.

I'd like to introduce you to an experimental project of mine called Drupal Code Search.

Drupal Code Search lets you search source code from thousands of Drupal modules and themes, use regular expressions, filter results by version, and more.

The goal of this project is to help themers and module developers find code examples faster and easier than before. Results are retrieved using the Code Search Data API.

http://themeshaper.com/the-best-ideas-for-a-new-wordpress-default-theme/

Here's all the ideas for a new wordpress default theme.

Default theme 1
* A set number of simple pre-defined layouts using accepted CSS techniques
* Speed as a priority with a minimal amount of functions in the theme
* Simple HTML with as little PHP as possible
* No changes necessary that cannot be accomplished through the admin panel
* A theme that follows best practices and can serve as a teaching tool and doesn’t aim to be the theme to end all themes

Default theme 2

Hi everyone,

This is just a short prelaunch announcement for Drupal Themes. We have a annoucement list and short survey that you might be interested in. I"ll be sure to provide the survey results when Drupal Themes officially launches .

Thanks

The drupal color module, if utilized, is one of the most powerful modules in a theme developer's arsenal for extending their design. I feel that this module deserves attention and has the potential to expand.

As a drupal themer who has experimented with color themes and the color.module internals I have bumped into things that would really improve the coloring experience and the module's power/usefulness.

I've long since been frustrated about the bad usability of the admin parts of Drupal. While incremental improvements are constantly made, it seems that a big overhaul is necessary in order to move forward. I find it very inspirational to see how Wordpress has hired HappyCog to work on an improved admin interface, based on interviews, research and usability testing. There are some obvious lessons that Drupal can learn from this as well, both from their methods as well as the results. There's a lot of momentum in the community right now to make similar efforts, and I'd be happy to apply as a student to work on this during the summer.

Have themes that could generate images for links so that navigation doesn't have to be plain text, or be able to generate an image for the title of a site or page so its easy to change the title of the site and still have it look fancy.

This could also include being able to customize the image such as by:

• adding an icon - this could apply to a specific navigation item
• setting the text color or font - this could apply to a specific item or be applied to all relevant items such as all page titles or all navigation links

UPDATE: The application is available for download now for Windows and Mac OS X (an Adobe® AIR™ application).

XTND.US is getting ready to release our Drupal 6 Theme Starter application for public consumption. It's a small, freeware, will be beta (already is stable), and will run on Mac, Windows, and Linux desktops. This is truly for anyone who makes Drupal 6 themes.

This application generates the .info file for your custom themes and sub-themes. Why memorize all the things you have to type into .info files when you can point-and-click and make your theme's .info files in seconds not minutes.

or download the application now (AIR required).

This had been leaked to LA Drupal in Jan. 2008, and now everyone can see a pre-release sneak video of an upcoming Dreamweaver extension, called Drupal Themer Kit Pro, previewed at http://xtnd.us/videos/drupal5.htm - the video features Drupal 5 Template Variables (Feature #2 of 5)

Because of Drupal's special nature, there are alot of us hybrids in the community: designers with an interest in developing and developers with an interest in designing. I would like to create a place/discussions that dealt with this crossover.

I am speaking from the design pov because, well, i am a designer first and coder/developer second (read: way second). Also, I think that we can close the gap by developing several simple things:

Wanted a CSS expert who can theme and is familiar with Drupal CMS. Must have at least 2+ years of CSS expertise and at least 1+ year experience in Drupal. Good knowledge of PHP for CSS implementations to work on full time monthly basis.

1) Must be a master of CSS hacks and techniques to implement in CSS.

2) AJAX experience a plus.

3) Must have experience with CCK theming - no custom coding or PHP module modifications required. Pure theming.

Looking for ongoing relationship.

Hello, I'm just posting here to let everyone know that the bulk of the new theming handbook is up. Most of it has been rewritten and reorganized. I hope it is accurate and clear enough to get everyone familiar with the theming system.

It's still missing sections on sub-theming (which can get really fancy BTW). I hope to get a few solid explanations and illustrations on the possibilities. Engineless themes and theme engine sections are not there yet but I don't think it's too critical.

JavaScripting could use some help too. I hope someone can fill that in.

After a month and a half beta period with only 5 bugs discovered (and squashed), the O-fficial Zen 5.x-1.0 version has been released. Yay!

Thanks to everyone who helped with new features, bug fixes and documentation suggestions! The help is greatly appreciated!

For those of you who haven't looked at Zen since its 5.x-0.6 days, take it for a spin. No longer do you need to un-theme the Deliciously Blue style out of Zen before adding your own styles. It’s a true base theme.

digg.com for ubuntu users? Maybe, but like the earlier version of digg; voting on just the nodes(just the voting). Zen theme in new pajamas! nodes have slideshow of imagefield pics(http://ubuntuwatch.com/node/12), with rip-off of the background buttons for multiple pics, from the lullabots! sorry :P sorry to moshe too ;-) (but you have it in new avatar now ;)

I don't plan to commercialize/earn-from-it in any way, if someone of you thought, it was part of my fun times, playing and implementing with Drupal. It was ready since the oct of '07 but could get it online in dec month. And after all Thanks http://HCoop.net/ !

(i know there are poor way of implementations, hacky job on vote button(half rip-off from rubybaboon), and peekaboo bugs are treating me good for IE.., etc..)

No, it's not based on drigg, project from scratch, but I recommend it to anyone who plans to begin with drupal building a similar website. I'll try to publish the recipe in the near future, if time allows... :)

After all hobby projects don't get your skills rusted, what do you say?

I just finished converting a GPL theme to drupal, if you're an aspiring Drupal Ninja this will be a good theme to learn about custom theme options, clean code, and good coding practice!. I added short comments to the css file to explain some of the more obscure methods in there.

Excerpt from my blog:

I normally don't announce theme releases anywhere but this one is
special. I've worked hard to make this theme work well and the xhtml
template I was porting was well-coded as well.

This drupal theme will be a nice addition to the drupal theme repository, it doesn't look too
flashy and it can easily be used as a theme for small business
websites. What makes this theme special is it's high flexibility and
configurability, this theme properly supports 1, 2 or 3 columns
layouts, and it gets even better... The themes layout width is
completely configurable, you can set it as a fixed width in pixels or
as a fluid width, that being a percentage of the browser window width.
You can also set the width of the main content area. The main content
area is set to be a percentage of the total layout width, and when you
change it the sidebar(s) will automatically assume the leftover width.

Enough talking, heres some stuff in list form:

Bullit proof

• Doesn't break any drupal admin pages, or get broken by admin pages
• small backend interface improvements
• all structural and contextual layout blocks are flex-height (don't break when upscaling the font)

Fast

• Theme Images weigh a combined 1,6kb
• Style.css weighing in at 4.4kb
• Output HTML is just a minimal (full html output size varies with content)

Custom Theme options:

• set a fixed or fluid width layout
• adjust the % of
  width the main content area will take up and the sidebar(s) will
  automagically resize to fill up the leftover space
• subheader and navbar region are dispensable, to get an even cleaner layout!

Supported native drupal elements:

• 1,2 or 3 columns!
• main content / sidebar width configurable through theme options
• blocks
• primary menu
• secondary menu
• logo (including optional ie PNG fix for transparent backgrounds)
• logotext
• slogan
• mission

Tested to work with:

• Internet explorer 7
• Internet explorer 6
• Firefox
• Opera 9
• Safari (Safari for windows)
• Netscape 9

Hi!
I'm peach, or Jurriaan, from All Drupal Themes and I'm having some trouble finding good themes to port and release to the community. I've already ported several themes but it turns out there were some problems:
-Apparently people were more interested in 3-column themes
-Some of the themes were not deemed useful at all
-Most good looking themes I find are Creative Commons licensed, which makes sense from the designers point of view, but unfortunately they are not allowed on drupal.org/project/Themes. I was reassured when I signed up for a cvs account that I must not upload CC2.5 licensed themes, only GPL.

I've created this post to communicate with the Drupal community, for whom I make the themes, and hopefully some people have good ideas for themes to be ported to drupal! If anyone has a GPL theme in mind please post it in the comments sections.

If you know of a gorgeous CC licensed design, it's also eligible for a free drupal port but I will put it up with my free drupal themes department but it won't show up on drupal.org/project/Themes.

Looking forward to your input!
JR

I encourage all theme developers to have a look at my latest module which is currently featured on drupal.org. There is a screencast there. We've built Firebug for Drupal themeing.

If you don't know what this is all about, check out the page on GHOP.

I've created a new tableless, CSS-based XHTML theme. It's a three-column, fluid layout, pictured to your right. No, it won't disappear into white like pictured, but it's still a good theme (in my opinion). If this seems exciting to you, read on...

Just ported Internet Music theme to drupal.
Feedback are welcome.

WoW - World of Warcraft Drupal Theme

Beta testers and feedback would be much appreciated!

Hi guys

I have a group of artists that are promoted by one manager(me). I want them to sign up on the manager's site (a drupal core site) eg manager.com and be able to create their own music stores. eg http://manager.com/artist/tom, http://manager.com/artist/amy or http://artisttom.manager.com, http://artistamy.manager.com

The registration page should have two options

1. artist
2. fan

while registering a username should be chosen that will be the permanent url for the artist or fan

artists will have the "artist" before their name in the url

I found a post in drupal.org
http://drupal.org/node/181315
It seems to be interesting but known by nobody.
I wish we could discuss here the potentiality of this software for applying to Drupal theming.

Dan Lennox did this theme analysis for me (see attached). The goal was to look for themes that could be shown to potential clients (in green). Some of the themes are not green, but this doesn't make them not good for other purposes.

We are a development shop located downtown Denver.

We are looking for help with building out Drupal sites and theming them. It would be great if we had several people who could do both, but are willing to use services of someone who can only do one or the other.

For a full time position we would like someone who is skilled with php & mysql.

We have several projects ready to start and are looking for employees or contract coders ASAP.

Thanks,
K

Hi all. I would love for someone out there to contribute six icons for this site. They would represent the node types in use here.

• poll
• event
• story
• wiki page
• job
• group

I need a small version which will go in each row on listings like on the tracker page. Also a larger version which will go at the front of every node title on the group home page.

If anyone can point me to freely available ones thats welcome as well.

Discuss the Drupal Markup Style Guide

This guide is intended to tell all Drupal developers how to:

• Create good HTML/markup
• Create good base templates for themers to stylize
• Create good CSS classes

This guide is not intended to tell Drupal developers how their applications should look -- that would be a design guide or an interface guide. This guide is only intended to explain the considerations how to create HTML, templates and CSS that are easy for a themer to deal with.

Un-theming Zen is getting a little old, so we're looking at settling on a company-wide base theme for all new projects. The themes we're looking into are:
http://drupal.org/project/base
http://drupal.org/project/cleanstate
http://drupal.org/project/hunchbaque
http://drupal.org/project/sympal_theme
http://drupal.org/project/zen_basic

Any opinions on these? Any other must-haves in your starter theme?

One of the other things we do is to include START and END comments in each tpl file so that you can easily trace your templates on the site by viewing source with this snippet:
