Adding Additional Them Features to Drupal Themes

Posted Mon, 02/15/2010 - 9:30am by shrop

I have some Drupal 6 themes which utilize images that need to be uploaded by the users to the sites files folder while maintaining one copy of the theme for a multisite install. It turns out to be simpler that I original expected.

I followed the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/177868 and it worked out quite well. I was able to modify some of the code further down on the same page in a comment to setup file uploads. See that code example here: http://drupal.org/node/177868#comment-1445178.

See some example results below:

Drupal Wallpaper-Dark

Posted Sun, 05/03/2009 - 8:34pm by shrop

I have been on a bit of a wallpaper kick this past week. I really wanted a dark themed Drupal wallpaper and couldn't find one. I created my own using the striped black background and the Drupal logo EPS file from drupal.org.

The Drupal Song Ringtone

Posted Sat, 08/23/2008 - 9:42pm by shrop

So I was a bit bored with my iPhone ringtones. I Decided to create a ringtone from Jeff Robbins' "The Drupal Song." You can download the ringtone I created below. Once downloaded, double click the file and it will be added to your iTunes library under the ringtones category.

I completed all of the meta data I could, including a reference to the original song blog post http://www.lullabot.com/audiocast/the_drupal_song.

Enjoy!!!

I have been a huge fan of the Lullabot podcast series at http://www.lullabot.com/audiocast/. I think that Epoisode 62 is one of the best podcasts the Lullabot crew has produced.

Views1 method to create a blog type category listing block

Posted Tue, 08/05/2008 - 7:19am by shrop

Druplicon Even though Views1 for Drupal 5 may not be as hip today, I have been wanting to share this bit of code to allow the creation of blog type category listing from taxonomy. I haven't tested if this works with views2 and kind of doubt it will since Views2 seems to be a complete rewrite.

The results of this View can be seen in the right sidebar of my wife's blog at http://lisa.shropshires.net.
