Theme development

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

This is a special interest group dedicated to improving and expanding the Drupal theme system including theme functions and templates, CSS, markup, and how contrib modules add in their functions, CSS, and markup.

for example, we'll take stock of the location and number of CSS files and discuss if the architecture can be improved through emerging frameworks like Object Oriented CSS.

We will consider the questions "What do themers need from Core in terms of CSS? Module developers? SEO specialists?" and "What's new in CSS? What does Drupal support? What's the roadmap for CSS support?"

Introducing Livethemer

Hey all — just wanted to let you all know that we've finally released the Livethemer module (http://drupal.org/project/livethemer). We've built a companion site at http://livethemer.com so there's a place to download new variations and such.

(From my description on the project page:) Livethemer provides a point-and-click interface allowing you to modify and enhance your site’s theme — or even build a whole new one from scratch — all without writing any code. Page layouts, backgrounds, colours, typography, block styles… all these aspects and loads more can be styled by Livethemer.

Custom search results

Hi everyone

I have been messing with Drupal and other CMSs for a while (3+ years). But I chose Drupal and stack with it since then no matter how hard the learning curve was.
So far whenever I had issues either I figure it out or search Drupal.org site for any possible solutions time being sacrificed. But now I want to save time and be efficient expediting my projects getting direct help from all my groups. Most issues being discussed here are grabbing my attentions because they are very important that's why I joined so many groups.

How to get group_renderd from content_profile in user-profile.tpl.php?

Usually in for ex. in node.tpl.php it's enught to

print $my_group_name_rendered;

But it does not work with page template user-profile.tpl.php

Making learnability a priority in Drupal.

Drupal is growing up, and with its maturity comes a complexity that is making it harder and harder to learn. We have initiatives that focus on making the user interfaces easier to use, but we have not been paying attention to how improvements to core have affected new contributors, and their ability to learn how to code for Drupal. This wiki is be a place where we can track and discuss how to keep Drupal coding easy to learn.

(This idea comes out of the Engineering for the 80% talk given at Drupal Camp Colorado, and the Bay Area Drupal Camp in 2011.)

Designing Drupal's Mobile Navigation

The first problem we need to solve is how users get around Drupal's interface on devices with small screens and touch screens. See the D8MUX road map.

Let's do some brainstorming and prototyping over how we get this good on mobile.

What do we need?

  • Simple
  • Consistent
  • Finger friendly
  • Complementary - The navigation can't upstage the main purpose of the page or task.
