jQuery for Designers and Themers

greggles — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:45:53 +0000

Sample jQuery code in a theme for designers and themers learning jQuery.

This code was based on the DrupalCon Paris session on jQuery for Themers and Designers. You can get the accompanying slides at TinyURL.com/jQuery-Designers, watch the video from Archive.org, and read my post-session commentary at CivicActions.com.

This theme requires the jQuery UI module. In Drupal 7, jQuery UI is included in Drupal 7 core, so this would be unnecessary.

This theme is not intended to be a useful theme for live websites, but is for demonstration purposes only. For that reason it is a sub-theme of Garland.

To see the jQuery demos, go to user/register and interact with the name field of the form. Also try re-order the blocks in the left sidebar by clicking and dragging their titles. You might need to add some blocks to that sidebar first.

Its time to introduce a beautiful brown theme for Drupal based on Acquia Marina. It supports 3 columns and regions as Acquia Marina but brings a more elegant, eye catching look.

The design and color were influenced by a chocolate colored theme I had seen on another site. Typography and most of other layouts, settings and designs are retained from Acquia Marina.

Ecobusiness Theme

greggles — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:49:04 +0000

Demo site: [ecobusiness.theresaanna.com]
Notes on this theme:

- The gray section on the bottom of the page is comprised by one of two interchangeable block regions. The region in use on the demo site is "Bottom - Three column", though this region can be left empty and "Bottom - Single column" can be used in its place to have one section of content expand across the bottom of the page.

- The text that appears below the site title is the site slogan, which can be enabled at /admin/build/theme/settings/ecobusiness and set at /admin/settings/site-information. If the slogan is not set, the city skyline graphic will align along the left of the content section.

- Please let me know of areas you think need more attention. I have themed for the base content but want to be sure that it looks good when using popular modules and I need your help! I plan to do more work to refactor the markup and make it more flexible - so that columns can be subtracted without touching the code.

- This theme is not meant to be used as an admin theme. Since it is fixed width and three column the content section does not yet expand to allow for the administrative panel.
