Simple and easy drop down (Suckerfish) menus for Drupal 6

Sun, 07/06/2009 - 21:32 — You

For the Arthemia theme I was trying to find a nice and simple way to add suckerfish menus. However most solutions involved either magic incantations or jquery plugins. A little too much.

Just as I was about to give up hope, I had a look at the Multiflex-3 theme for drupal and its implementation of suckerfish menus. Finally, something that was simple and easy to follow! No js either, which IMO is a good thing.

The actual code in the template.php file from multiflex-3 that you will need to add/work with is:

<?php
/**
* Return a cascade primary links.
* Clone implementation from user_block().
*
* @return
*   a themed cascade primary links.
*/
function phptemplate_primary() {
 
$output = '<div id="primary-links-region">';
 
$output .= menu_tree(variable_get('menu_primary_links_source', 'primary-links'));
 
$output .= '</div>';
  return
$output;
}
?>

Arthemia for Drupal

Wed, 03/06/2009 - 23:14 — You

I have recently been working on porting the Arthemia Free Wordpress theme to Drupal.

I have set up a demo site to demonstrate the theme.

I have made much progress - to the point that the theme works and looks good, but my modifications are not complete yet. I want it to be more than a simple port, but to also fix any other issues with the other theme.

What I have done beyond simple porting:

  • Changed the font for the main article content to Verdana/DejaVu Sans
  • Added colours to tables,
  • Themed the comments separately,
  • Added colours to tables,
  • Allow a local.css file to be dropped into the folder to override/extend/modify some theming elements.

I think I have got pretty far, and the theme looks very good, however I do think there needs to be some work on the colours used for tables and comments.
