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()andget_footer() - Replace
echo get_settings("home")withprint base_path() - Replace
bloginfo("name")withprint $site_slogan ? $site_slogan : $site_name - Drupal uses syntax such as for navigation, so replace the navigation block with this code
<?php if (isset($primary_links)) {
print theme("links", $primary_links, array("class" => "navmenu primary-links"));
} ?>
<?php if (isset($secondary_links)) {
print theme("links", $secondary_links, array("class" => "navmenu secondary-links"));
} ?>
- At the beginning of the main content block, Drupal customarily has a bunch of information such as
<div class="post-main">
<?php if ($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();withprint $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()withprint $node->nid; - Replace
permalink()withprint $node_url; - Replace
the_title()withprint $title; - Replace the Author block with
<?php if ($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");withprint $content;
comment.tpl.php
The comment.php will get trimmed to become the comment template – comment.tpl.php
- As before, start off by removing everything that is already in the page template – page.tpl.php – basically everything before and including the foreach ($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.
