How to create a custom template file for a form with Zen subthemes

Submitted by Aaron Hawkins on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 00:20

There are two stages of understanding needed in order to create a template file for a form in a Zen subtheme. The first level in my opinion is to understand how to achieve that same result in a normal theme.

In a normal theme all we need to know in order to create a working tpl (template file) for a form is the form id in question and the format to connect that form to the tpl from within the template.php file.

Custom Front Page showing several box based on taxonomy

Submitted by Max on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 12:10

Hi all,

Which is the best way to customize front page of my site?

  1. I have a vocaboulary named "CATEGORIES"
  2. Example of categories (first level of terms) are: "music", "art", "sport"
  3. Every category has is own sub-terms, e.g.:
    • music -> rock, country, jazz
    • art -> photos, sculpture
    • sport -> basketball, football, hockey

In my home page i would have a box for every category, listing all recent posts for that category (and posts of related subterms), like this:

Drupal advanced search page image button theming

Submitted by Michael Carney on Mon, 06/29/2009 - 01:12

Greetings. I have successfully themed a drupal 6 search form using the csearch methodology as found on the web. Everything looks great, the search box and new image submit button are in the header. The problem is that the same image submit button is drastically shifted out of site on the advanced search page itself, what shows on the breadcrumb as Home >> Search. In IE, I see the top 3 or 4 pixels of it as though it has dropped down, and in Firefox it is cut off on the right and left sides.

JQuery Menu / Superfish Compatability

Submitted by Jay Brinton on Wed, 03/11/2009 - 22:03

I've been reading "Drupal 6 - Ultimate Community Site Guide" - it's a tutorial on how drupalfun.org was built. Early on it suggests using the Pixture theme and the DHTML Menu module. In researching these, it appears that the Pixture Extended theme and JQuery Menu module might be better alternatives. Since Pixture Extended uses Superfish menus (a jQuery plugin), I'm wondering if there might be conflicts in combining the two.

Here is the part of the documentation for the theme regarding the Superfish Drop Menu:

1) Build a standard drupal menu. Set the correct levels to "expanded".

Theming Node type

Submitted by Tim Branett on Sat, 02/21/2009 - 13:13

I have a gallery created with Views, however when I click on the thumbnail, the default node type (content type) is displayed. I thought that it would be possible to create a View for the Content (node) type, but I do not see how do this? So to theme the node type do I have to do that in the template file or create a node_type.tpl file?

Horizontal tree-like menus in Pixel Clever Tutorials

Submitted by Robert Pinkham on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 02:53

I would like to implement a menu system like the one in the top block of the main column in the Pixel Clever tutorials section, in which two horizontal menus at the bottom of the block seem to do duty for a menu tree, with the selected results (taxonomies?) being displayed on the blue menu bar at the top.

This is really great work in my humble opinion. If any how-to sharing is possible and appropriate, I would be most appreciative.

How to programmatically insert a view into a tpl or content in Drupal 6

Submitted by Aaron Hawkins on Thu, 12/25/2008 - 20:14

In Drupal 6 views has been completely rewritten from the ground up, and as such we have to adjust the little code snippets that we developers have collected over the years to compensate.

The old way ( Drupal 5 views 1 ) of inserting a view into a tpl or into a php enabled content area was as follows:

<?php
$view_name = 'text_listing'; //name of view
$view_args = array($oldstring) ;
$view = views_get_view($view_name);
print views_build_view('embed', $view, $view_args, $view->use_pager, $view->nodes_per_page);
?>

This has now changed to the following:

<?php
  $view_args = array();
  $display_id = 'page_1';
  $view = views_get_view('logo_slideshow');
       if (!empty($view)) {
        print $view->execute_display($display_id , $view_args);
  }
?>
