Grok Drupal Theming

Grok Drupal Theming

tags

Topics covered include:

• Core templates and how they work together
• Most-used templates and the variables available
• Overriding templates for common use cases
• The Drupal design patterns you will need to design and theme for (whether you like it or not)
• Changes between Drupal 6 and Drupal 7
• Modules that make theming easier and/or more powerful
• The parent-child theme thing
• Working with module templates, including Views and CCK
• Gotchas, tips and tricks

This builds upon my session at DrupalCon San Francisco earlier this year. While I will touch upon concepts in my blog post, A Peek at Drupal 7 Theme Changes, this session assumes you have not themed for Drupal much before (or it has left you stymied).
