Gpanels: Create a two column section for blocks with Gpanels and Adaptivetheme

Gpanels are easy to use PHP and HTML snippets for creating multi column layouts. The idea is you copy/paste them into page.tpl.php (where ever you want) and place blocks into the regions to create columns of blocks.

Gpanels come with both Adaptivetheme and the Genesis starter theme.

This video walks you through the process of adding a Gpanel, enabling the regions and CSS, and then placing the blocks in the newly available regions.

You can learn more about the themes that use Gpanels for Drupal.org or our website:

Inline and Multicol Menus with Skinr and Adaptivetheme

Adaptivetheme includes two Skinr classes that allow us to style menus in different ways - one is to transform a normal menu into an “inline” menu, the other creates a groovy multi-column menu. This video shows you how to apply the classes to the menu block, and how you can change the CSS for each menu.

Note that you must download and install the Skinr module first and Adaptivetheme will automatically start using the module.

You can learn more about the Skinr module and the Adatptivetheme starter theme for Drupal from the project pages or our website:

Semantic Views Module for Drupal 6 - Video Tutorial

Submitted by Jeff Burnz on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

The Semantic Views module for Drupal 6 allows you to easily insert HTML markup for your Views rows and fields.

This is a new module by bangpound and I think this is really going to change how we think about theming Views because for the first time it puts clean semantic Views output in the hands of site builders and other end users, without having to get their hands dirty in the templates.
