Drupal theme

[mariuss]

Is anyone aware of or working on a generic Drupal theme based on
blueprint?

Thanks,
Marius

[Gabe]

i'd be really interested in this.

I am also interested. I would see the need for a plugin to Blueprint
to style the admin/forum/blocks and other Drupal specific output.
Maybe someone could convert the Zen theme.

I've been tinkering with Drupal and Blueprint, and Drupal sets a lot
of styles via /modules/node and /modules/system for such things like
admin and blocks, which upset the vertical rhythm. Does anyone know a
way to prevent Drupal loading these styles? I'm thinking something in /
$path_to_theme/template.php would be more graceful than just deleting
the offending css files.

I'm actually working on a very simple blueprint-based Drupal theme--
sort of like a Hemingway--that people can modify. I was thinking of
releasing it on my site, and since there might be interest in such a
thing, I will definitely do so and post a message about it when its
out.

I've also been working on one, though non-generic--I will post here
when it's done as maybe other Drupal/Blueprint users could learn from
it.

Drupal, phpTemplate, jquery and Blueprint together. What wonderful
times we live in.

[Terrence Wood]

Easiest way is to remove <php $styles ?> from page.tpl.php then use
something like:

<style type="text/css">@import "<?php print base_path( ) .
path_to_theme( );?>/filename.css";</style>

or you can build a function in template.php to override $styles before
it gets rendered.

The downside is you need to have a stable build where you know there
are no modules adding extra css

Just wanted to chime in and say that I too am looking forward to a
Blueprint-based Drupal-theme. I was actually working on a Yahoo UI-
based Drupal theme when I found out about Blueprint. From what I've
read so far, Blueprint seems to be far more elegant than Yahoo. Time
will tell.

I'd love to see demos of the Blueprint Drupal themes when you guys are
ready to offer a link or 2.

Cheers,

wouldn't it be swell if a project like drupal adopted a project like
blueprint, with core developers and module developers working from the
same design philosophy?

I know it would be absolutely AMAZING
Oh wait gang on I think Habari does that already :) go check it out :)

i took a look. i'm more interested in seeing an open-ended cms like
drupal adopt a clean front-end design strategy than i am interested in
another set of blog templates.

[broke...@gmail.com]

Erm Habari is a blogging cms , not sure what you had a look at to be honest we are using blueprint for the admin panel

I think a Blueprint Drupal Theme (or a WordPress one for that matter)
should have an admin page that let you assign spans to your divs and
showed you a quick preview of what you've made. The ability to have
different layouts for different pages would be a must.

[toma]

I am starting a new project with drupal, anyone get blueprint to work
any demo

[toma]

New theme Morning after
http://drupal.org/node/176877
Only for drupal 6
Preview

[ratioswitch]

Looks great ... did you say this Drupal 6 theme was built on Blueprint
CSS or is this just a port of your Wordpress theme?

Also, just a bit of feedback ... the icons look blurry on my Mac/FF2.

Either way, nice work.

Its not my work, i just post a link to new theme based on blueprint
framework so people can use it

Hi folks,

I am a Drupal core developer (http://drupal.org/user/12932) and I am
really diggin Blueprint and the possible inclusion into Drupal.

The #1 thing preventing this is Blueprint would have to be dual
licensed as MIT/GPL as jQuery recently did for core inclusion.

The next thing is of course adding support and so forth.

I am rolling out a new Drupal site using the Blueprint CSS framework
in 2 weeks and will be updating my blog with it soon too. After
playing around with it more I'll be seeing what I can do in terms of
patches and what not for core.

Ah, I forgot I was supposed to do this. I'll add a dual GPL/MIT
license once I get the time. :)

Olav

[ted]

Awesome!

Here is what jQuery did, as an FYI:

http://docs.jquery.com/Licensing

[Olav]

BP is now dual licensed for the next release (as you can see in our
SVN repository). Enjoy. :)

Rock!!! :-D

[dvessel]

Oh, this is great! I was about to ask the same and it looks like Ted
beat me to it. :)

It's for a theme I'll be contributing to drupal.org.

Thanks a ton!

I hacked Blueprint (.5) into my new site based on Drupal: http://www.bittailor.com.

I'm just getting back in to CSS after a big hiatus, so this isn't
likely going to be a shining example of the best way to integrate the
two.

You had a hiatus from CSS? Please elaborate.

[Dave G]

Database development has consumed me for the past couple of years, and
I haven't worked on any web sites during this time.

I've been watching this discussion as I've been playing with Blueprint
0.6 for a new blog I'm going to put out soon. A bit hesitant to point
to the URL because it'll be breaking regularly as I work on it, but
here goes:

http://konigi.com

Structurally, the use of the grid is plenty inspired by Khoi's work
and theme Hemingway theme. Visually it references Monocle a bit. The
theme of the above is not for public use. I'm hoping to do a version
of this theme to release to other Drupal users at some point. I would
add back sidebars to the right and make it a little configurable. But
it's hard for me to know how to plan the CSS for all of the
contingencies around modules people will install. When I get to the
point that I have a workable converted version of this theme, I'll
post a message about it.

Some observations about working with Blueprint for Drupal theming:

It can be a mind f*ck figuring out where to control what PHPTemplate
outputs, especially with regard to where stuff starts and stops. The
output of comments remains a pain for me because I want to close the
container for the node/entry before starting the comments container. I
want to have a right sidebar running next to all comments.

Depending on how ambitious your project is, doing CSS for a Drupal
theme is very much like doing a CSS Zen Garden skin. There is a lot of
guesswork about what various modules will put out. To do everything I
wanted with the add a comment form, you will notice that I had to do a
little CSS outside of Blueprint.

More to come, but so far have been loving Blueprint and am sure other
blog themers will have the same experience.

Sorry, this is the URL you should look at to understand the issues I
was referencing in that prior email: http://konigi.com/node/1
