Converting themes to drupal

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

A working group on converting themes / templates to Drupal, from other CMS like Joomla, or Wordpress, or from HTML open design templates.

1 - We can make a quick convert to drupal
2 - We can make the job easier by making templates for css declaration to use with drupal, for comment, nodes etc.

Any ideas to make this work easier are welcome!

Standard site name for Drupal Camps

Drupal camps have been very valuable sources for learning many things from Gigs and also update with new stuff. Its really useful to watch videos/slides after the camp is done but everyone having different names based on their group, year which really confuse a lot, I mean they can any name they want but the site name for all the Drupal camps I feel should be consistent so I don't need to track or search for it.

My suggestion is:

year.drupalcamp.groupname

For ex:

2011.drupalcamp.nyc

Design Challenges

The Design Initiative has three main goals - build a new core theme, build a new collaboration site for designers, and community outreach. The new core theme initiative is well under way and we're tantalizingly close to design.drupal.org becoming a reality. What we need to do now is step up a gear and start thinking about outreach.

Fraud by Deepak Kundu from liveqoute

I have prepaid Deepak Kundu for work and have yet to receive any of my material. I have filed a claim with Paypal and he tricked me into closing it because he said he will not continue to work on the project. So again I was tricked by closing the case. Now he won't respond to my email or refund my money, nor has he done any work. BE Aware of Deepak Kundu.

Views feature

I was wondering is there a module or a feature in views where that user can edit a content in a view instead of going to find that content that is being used in view.

Converting Wordpress themes to Drupal

I love Drupal, but some of its themes need work, but then again that has not been its focus. Its focus has been great code, which I love! There are wordpress sites I was thinking about converting, but wanted to know if someone else has already done them. Here they are: LightWord, Mystique, Easel, Sliding Door, Station, Antisnews, StudioPress, Glossy Stylo, MT dark

What's the proper usage for the new tags available in HTML5 when creating Drupal themes?

Hello,

I slice designs into Drupal themes. I'm exploring the use of HTML 5 markup in Drupal themes.

If I'm not mistaken, all blocks (and boxes) are to be tagged as sections and all nodes are to be tagged as articles for semantically accurate markup. Titles, content, meta and links can be sections within an article.

I've pasted generic block and node tpl.php files along with an HTML 5 version of the same:

Politika Theme: Help design a free GPL Drupal theme

Hello theme designers/developers/users.

I would like to ask if anyone is interested in contributing to discussions about a new free Drupal theme. It is similar to some projects for getting new themes in core but instead of a community-designed theme directly for core (like Bartik) I think it would be better to just have it in contrib.

If you are interested please check out this blog post: http://www.sooperthemes.com/drupal-blog/project-politika-help-design-fre...

Thanks!

Images disappear when logged out

I have fading images are not showing on the front page when I log out is that permissions, a block created w/ Views Rotator, is this permissions?,
everything is working fine when I am logged in but once logged out the cycle of fading images appear?

I looked through permissions but nothing seemed relevant, I wondered if it was one of the settings in Views?

Thanks

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

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."
