Looking for help: Drupal Theme coder

[darkgod]

Hello!

Shockbolt has made a mockup of a new website version but I am no html integrator and so, if anybody here knows drupal (6) themes and would like to help, you are most welcome!

[Rectifier]

Le bump.

[darkgod]

and one more!

[Canderel]

Ok, do we seriously have noone who can help?

I don't even know what Drupal is, let alone have ever coded for a website.

I don't even know what Drupal is, let alone have ever coded for a website.

It's a content management system (CMS) and their uses are basically for people in your position. It allows people to manage web pages without actually coding them directly. Someone more experienced maintains the CMS for you while authors fill in some web forms somewhere else. The CMS takes your input and publishes them to the page. If you've ever used Wordpress or some other type of blogging service, you've used a CMS.

Anyone who ever does web programming will probably touch CMS technology at some point. If I didn't hate PHP and were younger in my career, I'd be all over this personally. These are the sorts of side-projects you take on and talk about in an interview when the questions come up.

I know basic html, but Drupal I've never heard of.

Oh, well, then I also have plenty of xp doing that as I've 'ran' many a blog in my net-life. But, I'm with Grey, I'm starting a new intensive job next week and am trying to start a family [amongst other things] and may not have the 1) time to dedicate to this until I know how much of a work load this is and 2) skills to do it until I know what is required

[Grey]

Well I have plenty of experience with CMSes, but I don't think I've touched Drupal. I'm also not sure how much time I'd have to dedicate to this. Perhaps if some idea was given to the workload involved I could see about taking it on?

[Canderel]

I think it's important to note you'll not set up the drupal site, DG does that. You do the *theme*, so my guess knowledge of CSS and similar things are more important than the backend of Drupal 6.

I may be wrong though, and perhaps I misunderstood the original post.

[darkgod]

Nope you are very right

Needs knowledge of css/html & converting a psd to css/html

I have knowledge of drupal 6/7 (admin, module dev and themes) but the problem is that I don't have much spare time
If this has to be done shortly or it's a very complicated theme then I can't help much, otherwise count me in

[darkgod]

Groovy

There is no rush and it's not overly complex I think, here is the preliminary version by shockbolt:

[Keeper]

A couple of questions (if you like we can discuss over PM):
- Is the layout of every page going to be like this? If not I'd like to see the standard page layout
- For galleries (like the concept art one) there should be a module or a view/display suite to show it
- Same thing for YouTube videos (or not if it links to a YouTube page)
- I guess everything else is already a block inside your Drupal installation
- What is the least version of every major browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, mey be safari?) to support? I need to know if I should use HTML5 or image gradient for background images.
That's it for now...
