Create a new theme in Drupal
Create a new theme in Drupal - brought to you by sdesign1 - Drupal specialists
The template of your website (the look and feel) all come from the theme that is activated on your Drupal website. This article will show you how to transform a theme you have downloaded for your Drupal site.
Drupal comes with many themes that reside in the "/themes/" folder. If you want to create your own theme in Drupal, then you need to create a set of folders first, where your theme will sit. In this example, our theme will be called "sdesign1".
First, create this folder...
- '/sites/all/themes'
You can then create your own theme completely from scratch, or modify another theme you already have. In this example I have used the "Clean" theme. Just rememebr to rename your file 'clean.info' to 'sdesign1.info' and the file itself shoud look similar to:
name = sdesign1
description = The sdesign1 drupal 6 template.
core = 6.x
engine = phptemplate
You can then copy your theme folder into this directory. It should end up like this...
- 'sites/all/themes/sdesign1'
With all the theme files contained in the folder "sdesign1". Once this is uploaded, you then go to...
- Administer > Site Building > Themes
- and check Enabled' and 'Default'
- then click Save Configuration
