Manji Theme for Drupal

Manji theme is designed by Khaled Abou Alfa and Root, originally for WordPress 1.3. I ported this to Drupal 4.5 and based the work on Manji version 1.01.

Manji is not a univeral theme. It has a single column design, which might not suits websites other than personal blogs.

The theme is tested soley on Windows 2000, and seemed to work fine on both Firefox and Internet Explorer

Customised Manji can potentially be very beautiful, although it is a new theme and not many examples are available on the web.

This theme requires the PHPTemplate theme engine.

Recommended Usage

  • turn on primary links
  • add “admin” (path “admin”) to the primary link
  • turn off all blocks except ‘navigation’
  • set block path for ‘navigation’ to “(admin)” (without quotes)

Blocks

As it is a single column design, there is no room for blocks in normal pages. Blocks will still be rendered floating on the right of the content area. But it is much recommened that you turn all the blocks off, except the navigation block. (And set the navigation block path as suggested above)

Hi!

Nice theme! Is it possible to make the primary links translatable via the i18n module?

Thanks a lot!

I've never how that can be done just in theme without hacking (though a light hack) phptemplate itself. Do you have example?
