Sub-themes are one of the most important tools a Drupal themer can have in their arsenal. Do you create a new theme from scratch for every project? Do you sometimes just copy a theme and then spend hours removing unnecessary code or fine tuning it to fit the new design? Stop wasting time and losing money. Use sub-themes, all the cool kids are doing it! Understanding how to leverage sub-themes allows a Drupal themer to deliver more to their client in less time. It will also allow for more precise control when working in multi-site environments. In this session we will discuss:

Drupal Commons is social business software providing organizations with a complete solution for forming collaborative communities. It combines popular social web features for users and community management tools for site owners. It's a complete solution, ready-to-use - bypassing the Drupal module and theme selection, setup, and configuration done when building from normal Drupal building blocks. Just install, and go.

Hi, the Docs Team would love to have a Documentation Sprint at SANDcamp. Lisa Rex will be there, and the other docs team members will provide support in #drupal-docs on IRC More details TBC!

Update: I've added the theming session slides as a attachment to this post. Thanks for attending!

Continuing with beginning concepts, this session will go another step further covering hook_menu (in depth), hook_theme (implemented a couple of ways), and a very simple system_settings_form. We'll try to cover as much ground as we can on each topic. This session will be tailored for anyone who has peaked at module code and 'kinda gets it'. We'll keep it simple, so if you've never looked at modules you'll still be in a good place. Agenda * Implement hook_menu. We will revisit this item several times during the session. * Set up an admin page.
