New Adobe.com article: Building Drupal Zen sub-themes with Dreamweaver CS4

Posted by Chris Charlton on June 23, 2009 at 2:11pm

The third article in my Drupal series for Adobe.com is out now. This article covers Drupal Zen Sub-Themes, including Dreamweaver tip(s) when working with Drupal themes.

"When asked why I would recommend the Zen theme versus a core theme such as Garland, I answer, Zen was built to be a seed for your tree—you plant the seed, water it, and watch it grow! Garland looks nice, but is not documented well and has custom page template code that should not appear elsewhere. In short, Garland is just not right as the basis for a theme; the Zen theme is."

Personal Advice Website

Posted by vmenelas on June 21, 2009 at 4:44am

Hello this is an advice website that I have been building for a few months now.

A few modules that I use on the site in general are:
Friend
Taxonomy
Christmas Snow (for the effects)
PM Lite
Views
Nodes as block

Every time you click a user's advice you get redirected to a page that has these contents:
Right Side (content ad)
Advice Category (theme editing)
Users can then comment "posting advice" to other users who ask the advice.

Few pictures/words are available on certain pages, for example:

Preface Middle Not Showing

Posted by lintlin on June 17, 2009 at 4:06pm

Hello all!

I have been working very hard to modify the Marina theme to fit in with my website, and it is turning out very nice. Many thanks for this great theme.

The problem that I have is that no matter what I do, I cannot get the Preface Middle area to hold a block. Granted, I have very limited designing abilities, but even in my install of Marina (unchanged code) it won't work either. Two "real" web designers have looked over the code and are perplexed that even though I have a block with an empty .gif in "preface middle", it doesn't show up in the html.

How to Make Acquia Slate Fluid?

Posted by kpalaniuk on June 17, 2009 at 12:01pm

Please please please! I have zero training in css and have learned the hard way (many hours trying to modify .css file) that makiing this theme even a little bit fluid is problematic. My site really needs this functionality. I know that when using 1, 2, or 3, columns things have to match the header content wrap width in order for things to line up, but how would one break that? Say, I don't care if the sidebar left and right don't match the white header.jpg but I want the sidebars fixed and the middle content fluid to the screen.

Change preset blocks

Posted by kpalaniuk on June 16, 2009 at 3:48pm

Hi Everyone!

I am a newbie in web design, new to Acquia Slate and am very excited to have found this group. Hoping to manipulate some blocks such as the login block. I would like to place it on header-top but throw it on the right-hand side and without the Open-ID option. Basically, I want it to look much like it does on the showcased site Cornerstone Gospel Church.

How do I add a block to the top of content?

Posted by btmullins on June 16, 2009 at 12:49pm

How would I go about adding a block to the top of content? I noticed there is one for below content, but one above content would be ideal for adding a scrolly feature thingy.

Make Acquia Slate colorable too!

Posted by MacMladen on June 16, 2009 at 6:09am

Maybe coloring options are a knife in our back, it is very nice to change look and feel of site by using color scheme.

If we are looking to give solution to have theme radicaly changed without coding - this is one of the best ideas there is. One could easily change images and color scheme will do the rest. And with theme options, you're up and running very fast.

Besides, as Slate is not too far away from Marina (name of my first born daughter! :) I think once this is done, it will be less complicated to implement it for Slate.

adding rounded block to other regions (Acquia Slate)

Posted by doener on June 14, 2009 at 2:14pm

Howdy,

I would like to know if it's posible to add the rounded block (from eg sidebar_first) to other regions like content-wrapper ?

I tried adding it to template.php

// Add regions with rounded blocks (e.g., sidebar_first, sidebar_last) to $rounded_regions array
$rounded_regions = array(sidebar_first, content-wrapper);

But doesn't work.....do i need to add it somewhere else as well ?

Thanks so far!

Doc update?

Posted by skor on June 8, 2009 at 2:35am

at The Acqua Slate Handbook page the list of regions goes:
2 Header top
3 Header first
3 Header middle

But the graphic shows

       2. Header Top

3. Header Middle 4. Header Last

Also, the graphic shows the logo and site name in the Header_middle region, but looks to me like it's really in header_first

So I think the graphic just needs these changes to region names:
header_middle=>header_first
header_last=>header_middle

How to modify appearance of pages other than the homepage (Acquia Slate)

Posted by AlfTheCat on June 5, 2009 at 9:35am

Hi all,

First off, I'm very impressed by the Acquia Slate theme. All things considered it helped me to decide to switch to drupal for good.

Perhaps on the Drupal side of things I am quite the newbie but I catch on fast. So if anyone could please help me with the following:

Themes + Panels 3

Posted by stephthegeek on June 4, 2009 at 9:08pm

As you might have noticed, there's a new 2.x-dev branch out of Acquia Marina that includes layouts and styles for Panels 3 among other things: http://drupal.org/node/472094

We'd particularly love to hear from anyone who has tried out this new feature.

For those in the Bay Area who are interested in this topic, we'll be discussing Panels 3 theming at BADCamp this Saturday afternoon: http://badcamp.net/session/theming-panels-3

Zero Point: a new theme based on Acquia Marina

Posted by stephthegeek on June 4, 2009 at 9:03pm

At least it sure looks like it's based on Marina :) Saw this one the other day that appears to be a really nice derivative, with even more settings and things like colour scheme options! http://drupal.org/project/zeropoint

Anyone tried it out yet?

problem with nice menus (dev) using superfish with hoverIntent

Posted by pauln60 on May 27, 2009 at 4:18pm

I have a nice menu with hoverIntent in superfish that works as expected in every theme I've tried except Acquia Marina and its derivatives. The timeout delay works in all cases, but the mouseover sensitivity configuration parameter seems to make no difference in Acquia Marina - it behaves as CSS (instant response on
mouseover)

Any idea why that might be?

Thanks,
Paulu N.

Acquia Marina Crashes with Error After Adding Custom Block

Posted by picardo on May 27, 2009 at 2:39am

hi there,

I installed Acquia Marina on my site recently. It usually works fine but every 72 hours or so, it crashes into oblivion, only leaving the following error message.

* warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /var/www/html/modules/system/system.module on line 966.
* warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/html/includes/theme.inc on line 1762.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/includes/theme.inc on line 1762.

Need advice

Posted by lovedrupal6 on May 25, 2009 at 11:19pm

Hi all,
For a recent medical journal from uk [bjmp.org], I have created a subtheme based on Acquia Marina and everything is working ok except the lower end of "content" border appears broken. I want the main content window to also have a border like the sidebar blocks and have added the relevant code of blocks into the page.tpl.php

Not sure how to proceed further.
The only files that have been changed in subtheme folder is
1) page.tpl.php
2) style.css

What's your preferred solution for related tabbed content on nodes/product pages?

wretched sinner - saved by grace's picture

I promise that Slate is under there somewhere...

Posted by wretched sinner... on May 22, 2009 at 8:54pm

I have another site for your Aquila Slate Showcase - Cornerstone Gospel Church.

There may not be large amounts of it left, but it's flexibility has been fantastic for creating and learning about Drupal theming!
