Needs Improvement

Technically, this is overriding Nice menus the Nice menus way...

I pulled all nice menu css out of style.css and put it in nice_menus_custom.css and set this theme path so it overrides modules/nice_menus_default.css by entering the new path at the top of admin/themes/settings

This is a work in progress.

Copy this (from fivestar's CSS) into your theme's styles.css file, and change the background url to match your own graphic file:

div.fivestar-widget-static .star {
  float: left;
  width: 17px;
  height: 15px;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-indent: -999em;
  background: url(widgets/default/star.gif) no-repeat 0 0px;
}

E-mail subject: Drupal or Wordpress?

Hey friend,

How is things?

So, my school has asked me to design a site for them. How do I use wordpress or drupal to do so? They can't pay me much or I'd just pay you to do it! They have hosting and everything, so I just need to create a little mini site to link off of their big one ... It is an aftercare program I work for... and l need to just create a number of pages for it. I would love to make a mock up today.

Thanks for any advice you might be able to offer,
Ian

Which is faster (better performance) - module_exists or function_exists?

Update: This tutorial has been revised significantly to provide a robust solution consistently works.

Define a function named your_theme_name_ or phptemplate_ plus name_of_form($form).
