Themeframe for other CMSs

Liston · #1 Dec 9, 2009, 01:17 PM

I was looking at Artisteer and it offers the option to exort the style into different CMS themes. How realistic would it be in the future for Themeframe to offer something similar, or is it heavly tied into Wordpress. I have no idea about these things, but would find it interesting to find out, as I use Drupal a bit too, and may be migrating sites from WP to DP for their OS shop.

Thanks

Edit: I found this -

The example WP theme I am trying to use is sodelicious_black.
page.tpl.php

Combine header.php, page.php and footer.php into on new file called page.tpl.php. In this new page.tpl.php file:

* Replace your DOCTYPE and HTML lines with
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
* Replace the TITLE with
<title><?php print $head_title ?></title>
* Replace the links to style sheets, RSS news feeds and the such with
<?php print $head ?> <?php print $styles ?> <?php print $scripts ?>
* Clean up the page.tpl.php by removing the obsolete calls to get_header() and get_footer()
* Replace echo get_settings("home") with print base_path()
* Replace bloginfo("name") with print $site_slogan ? $site_slogan : $site_name
* Drupal uses syntax such as
<?php if (isset($primary_links)) {
print theme("links", $primary_links, array("class" => "navmenu primary-links"));
} ?>
<?php if (isset($secondary_links)) {
print theme("links", $secondary_links, array("class" => "navmenu secondary-links"));
} ?>

for navigation, so replace the navigation block with this code
* At the beginning of the main content block, Drupal customarily has a bunch of information such as
<div class="post-main">
<?php if ($breadcrumb) { print $breadcrumb; } ?>
<?php if ($mission) { print "<div id='mission'>". $mission ."</div>"; } ?>
<?php if ($tabs) { print "<div id='tabs-wrapper' class='clear-block'>"; } ?>
<?php if ($title) { print "<h2". ($tabs ? " class='with-tabs'" : "") .">". $title ."</h2>"; } ?>
<?php if ($tabs) { print $tabs ."</div>"; } ?>
<?php if (isset($tabs2)) { print $tabs2; } ?>
<?php if ($help) { print $help; } ?>
<?php if ($show_messages && $messages) { print $messages; } ?>
</div>
<?php print $content; ?>
* The Search blocks are created by Drupal, so remove any code builds a search block – just remember where it was located (top, left, centre, right, footer regions)
* Replace get_sidebar(); with print $sidebar_left . $sidebar_right;
* The Recent Posts blocks are created by Drupal, so remove any code that builds a Recent Posts block – just remember where it was located
* Clean up the code and balance all your DIV‘s and SPAN‘s

node.tpl.php

The single.php will get trimmed to become the node template – node.tpl.php

* Start off by removing everything that is already in the page template – page.tpl.php – basically everything before and including the while (have_posts()) loop
* Replace the_ID() with print $node->nid;
* Replace permalink() with print $node_url;
* Replace the_title() with print $title;
* Replace the Author block with
<?php if ($submitted) { print "<span class='submitted'>" . $submitted . "</span>"; } ?>

* Replace the Category block with
<?php if ($taxonomy) { print "<div class='terms'>" . $terms . "</div>"; } ?>

* Replace the Comments block with
<?php if ($links) { print "<div class='post-tags'>" . $links . "</div>"; } ?>

* Add <?php print $picture ?> before the content to support user pictures
* Replace the_content("Read more"); with print $content;

comment.tpl.php

The comment.php will get trimmed to become the comment template – comment.tpl.php

* As before, start off by removing everything that is already in the page template – page.tpl.php – basically everything before and including the foreach ($comments) loop
* Replace comment_ID() with print $comment->cid;

Results

And there you should have an almost working Drupal theme closely relating the previous WP theme.

* Sodelicious homepage

* Sodelicious content

* Sodelicious edit

* Sodelicious gallery

* That’s all folks.
