While setting up a hobby (non-client work) fansite for one of the characters in the Terminator: Sarah Chronicles TV Show, I came across Taxonomy Menus for Drupal 5.

I've recently started work on my first Drupal 6.x Theme.

The Hunchbaque base theme, which I usually use to construct new themes for Drupal 5, has not been completely ported into Drupal 6.x so I had been searching for alternatives. Hunchbaque while adequate for Drupal 5 just isn't ready yet to start making a theme in Drupal 6.

I've recently found the Framework Theme which is promising to the point a new theme I am developing for Drupal 6 has reached the point of 20% completion in a couple of hours.

Here's a preview of work done in just over 2 hours:  read more »

I am aware there are Cutline ports for Drupal.

http://cutline5x.stevejbayer.com/ is one variation I recently started porting.

Before I publicly release the theme files, I'd have to theme it a bit further to totally look like cutline (there are quite a few bugs to be fixed too) and possibly make the right column collapsible.

I'll keep the first port fixed width to keep it in line with the original Cutline theme on http://cutline.tubetorial.com/

The following tutorial is on how to create multi-site on Drupalvaluehosting.com (DVH) servers.

The database is shared with table prefixes for each multi-site. The content and users is not shared but having all the multi-sites in one database instead of separate ones makes back ups and site retrieval a lot easier. The table prefixes allow that one database file to treat each prefix as a separate database.

In this tutorial your multi site is example.domain.com and your base drupal is in domain.com and it is the primary domain for your DVH hosting account

1)Create a subdomain in their control panel
delete the newly created subdomain folder using FTP or their File manager  read more »

I've been theming with Drupal for over a week since my first attempt at porting the Cutline theme to Drupal 6. The first attempt was using Bluebreeze to prt the Cutline theme from Wordpress but now I find Hunchbaque theme much more for suitable to building entirely new themes and porting themes rather than porting a theme onto a pre-made theme's skeleton.

Theming in Drupal seems a lot easier than theming in Wordpress, that's probably because I've got over 3 months of direct experience with theming into a CMS.

I just turned Drupify into a three column theme a few days ago.

Demo for managing blocks:
themer is username
themer is password

(Have yet to set the permissions. I'll delete this line when permissions are set.)

A tar file of the same can be downloaded from:

The Default Drupal Node (you can think of it as a page or content container) Add and Edit forms are quite notorious for the amount of clicking required.

The following Wireframe would remove a lot of that difficulty:

With Jquery, the form tabs can not only be resized according to number of tabs horizontally but they on hover, the tabs can be made to automatically reveal the contents they contain. While techinically challenging for small companies to produce given their budgets , the proficency of Drupal developers at drupal.org could make such things possible in Drupal 6 or 7.  read more »
