Another theming working group

The newly minted 'Zen Task Force' may provide some great project orientated learning opportunities in realm of theming. Seems like it would tie in quite nicely as an extension to the great Dojo theming lesson as well as our work on Merlin's 'Themer Pack Project'?

Brain Dump: Configurable theme

I've been thinking that in order to truly have a purely CSS-modifiable theme, many designers are going to wish that they could move around bits and pieces of the HTML. Should taxonomy be before or after the node content? Likewise with the name/date attribution... and the links. Should the messages appear above or below the help... or somewhere else on the page completely? Allowing Zen subthemes to define their own template.php, node.tpl.php, comment.tpl.php etc... is definitely the beginning of this..

Full fledged subthemes

Don't know if everyone is aware of this yet, but I've recently committed some changes that allow Zen subthemes to have their own node.tpl.php, node-type.tpl.php, page-path.tpl.php, comment.tpl.php block.tpl.php, etc... Subthemes can also now have their own template.php files!!!

This means that you could create a subtheme that is primarily CSS based, but also modifies the way that comments are displayed, or overrides some theme functions.

themefunctions calling themefunctions calling theme functions (calling Drupal apis) calling theme functions

... and so on.

We currently have a very fuzzy "tree" that builds our site. I doubt anyone has ever traced the route a string takes from within some Drupal-module 'till its printed.

Some theme functions call other theme functions, whom call other theme functions. Sometimes inbetween you find that Drupal APIs are called.

theme_some_hierarchy() {
  $hierarchy = build_hierarchy()
  foreach ($hierarchy as $subtree) {
    theme('hierarchy_part', $hierarchy, $subtree);
  }
}

Freely crafted after our menu building systems, and just an example.

Recently Dries said he disliked theme functions calling theme functions. This is done all over the place. Maybe we need to look at a solution for this? Something to either get a very consistent page building mechanism (brickslate is an idea to do this after the way JS builds the DOM) . Maybe we need to only create a conceptual guideline. And maybe we need not worry at all and continue trialling-erroring our way to our Perfect Designs.

Drupal theme designers in town?

Thanks!

CSS layouts and Drupal

This is simple query to the group. I am going to go check out the forums as well.

I am not a ninja themer. But I am not a newbie either. I've done about 4 themes for drupal now. All have been variations of existing themes.

My questions have to do wth table-based vs liquid lay-outs.

1/ What do people recommend as a framework for building liquid lay-outs? I have tried doing up my own version of the ALA holy grail thingme, and I have tried modifying the civicspace theme, and in neither case have I enjoyed the process. Are there her techniques that don't require such wholesale manipulation of the browser-space?
