Zero One Design was founded as a web design company in 1997, in Victoria, British Columbia. Right from the beginning, the partners envisioned creating a service that could present uniquely Canadian arts and culture: Zero One has been telling Canada’s stories ever since. I helped the partners find an updated look and feel for their organization using classic imagery with a modern slant.

My friends at Zero One Design have just begun beta testing on their new app Madrona.

“Madrona is an open source museum collections management system written for the community, by the community. Featuring an intuitive design and ground breaking media and internet integration, Madrona creates a whole new standard for collection management.”

Recently I was asked to summarize the parts of a drupal theme. I came up with the following semi-literate guide to my own theme framework, sp0xx6 for Drupal 6. This is not a very technical guide but I think it’s none the less important to document my perspective, especially for newcomers to drupal who are having a hard time with the way information is presented on drupal.org.

Please note: The text below makes reference to a set of theme files for Drupal themes. That theme is sp0xx6. You can download sp0xx6 from google code. For free. To keep. Forever. Drupal rocks! Thanks to everyone on drupal.org that makes my life easier and more interesting.

.info

The .info file registers your theme with drupal along with your theme’s regions (area’s content appears in) your CSS and javascript.

template.php

Your template file allows you to customize practically everything in your theme. You can rewrite the appearance of forms, lists, links, taxonomies and add all sorts of functionality.
