Simple and easy drop down (Suckerfish) menus for Drupal 6
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
Screenshot from Arthemia demo site.
A port of the high quality wordpress theme Arthemia free to drupal.
The theme has multiple regions and can be used as both a one column or a two column site.
More details are available on the demo site I have set up.

Absynthe Theme
ok, just updated to the absynthe theme for this site, a theme originally for Wordpress (as it says in the footer), but ported to Drupal. I think it looks good.
There are however quite a few short comings - most of which probably cannot be seen by logged out users (but some can if you know where to look), so it is ok for a front facing theme for now.
I will try to fix up any problems and if I can this may stay my new long term theme. If not, I will revert to my modified version of A Block, or choose another theme altogether.
A change of scenery
Lo and behold, a new theme - A Block by couzinhub.
Functional, unassuming and good looking were the things I was looking for (and in that order) and this theme provides them all by the bucketload.
A little bit of History. Again.
When I first started this site, it had a basic theme - a slight modification to the default theme for pmWiki. It was unassuming and did its job.
Then I moved the site to Drupal. With drupal came a multitude of choices. Good choices, but at times a little overpowering.
