Get comprehensive Drupal coverage!
Want to cover all the skills you need to customize Drupal to do exactly what you need? Sign up for both our workshops and get a full understanding of how Drupal works front to back.

Come learn how to make your Drupal site not look like a Drupal site!

We'll be working on an example site, implementing a theme from our initial design. We will address how to approach the implementation with Drupal and how those decisions affect our theming tasks.

What will we cover?

• How to approach a Drupal theme
• Creating a theme from a pure HTML/CSS design
• Working with template files
• Overriding theme functions
• Adding custom variables to template files
• The Drupal theme system and how it works
• Advanced overrides with the Drupal theme system
• Tools and techniques for finding bugs and diagnosing errors

Who should attend?

• Drupal site administrators who are interesting in learning to tweak the way their site looks and feels
• Web developers interested in how to change Drupal's interface the right way.
• Drupal themers looking to take presentation control to the next level.
• PHP developers interested in tweaking Drupal's interface.
• Web designers or developers interested in making Drupal not look or act like Drupal.

Attendees should be comfortable with HTML, CSS and PHP and have some experience with Drupal. Seating is limited, so register soon.

Additional Information:

Each morning will begin with registration at 9:30am. Classes run from 10am to 5pm.

Registration includes a daily continental breakfast.

We will be working with Drupal 6, but questions about other Drupal versions are always welcome.

Past attendees say:

It's the equivalent of taking an art class from Michelangelo. These guys know their stuff. -- Jason Crichton, Interactive Director, Elevate Studios

Every time you don't attend a Lullabot workshop, somewhere a kitten dies. -- Daniel Fackrell, Founder, Enchanted Solutions

I learned more in a day with the Lullabot team, than I would have in a year on my own. Fantastic experience! -- Darren Mak, Digital Web

What should I bring?

Since the class is being taught in a multimedia classroom, the University of Arizona will provide each participant with free internet access and their own hosted Drupal site to work on during class. You do not need to bring a laptop.

You'll also want to bring your list of things that you're trying to do and have questions about. We're here to help!
