I am trying to practice editing a phpnuke theme: sand journey
There a re very few files and none of which I can view to get a good look at the layout of the website. Is there a specific file I'm missing to be able to change the layout and links of the home page for the theme or am I in the wrong place for that?

My home page is what I'm trying to edit. Both layout and colors and then some of the links in the header.

hmmm. for some reason, the theme shows nothing in dreamweaver. there is only a theme.php you made and the html file is empty. There's no visual way to see what I'm editing.

I sent you a few emails about what was happening to the site, but I know you are busy, but theme kills all the blocks on the left to the bottom of the page. Is there a way to add html (pics and text in the News module? I think that may solve alot rather than trying to remake the theme

So far I have found alot of the info on these boards very helpful and I am on my way to editing my first theme with some success. I managed to add the mod that allows you to split the News section into 2 parts, and added Html tags for the News section, which BTW Mark is soooooo sweeet!

Now I have played with the colors and text to try to figure what does what. I wish there was a clean breakdown so i am not screwing it up. Anyways, I have 2 questions?

1- Is there a way to set the code in the News Block to specify a size no matter the amount of content in them? Since I have split the News module into 2 parts with the mod from this site, I noticed if I don't use the same amount of spacing, one will be smaller than the other and throw everything off.

2- How do I insert a log-in block at the top of my menu, where it has "create an account" I found where it goes, but after trying a few codes (copy and paste) it messes things up, even made my site go blank.

3- One more thing, I know the site is ugly... I'm just trying to get a nice color to go with the burgundy so please don't laugh...

Code:

echo "<center><a href=\"index.php\"><img src=\"themes/Chrysalis/images/LogoLeft.gif\" alt=\"Welcome to $sitename\" title=\"Welcome to $sitename\" border=\"0\"></a><br><br></center>"

In my theme.php file I found this code while trying to change the top portion of the banner of my site. I am trying to change the font and the size since I don't have a logo as of yet. It won't accept html code for some reason, is there some place within the index.php file I need to start the change
