This book will guide you through the basics of proper Drupal 7 theming. This includes things like:
- An introduction to responsive web design (RWD).
- An introduction to Drupal theming as it relates to RWD.
- A discussion of the what and the why of Drupal-based themes and subthemes.
- A comparison of a few popular base themes (Zen, Omega, and Aurora).
- Step-by-step instructions for creating custom subthemes based on those base themes.
- Some common gotchas, tips, and tricks for building and theming responsive Drupal sites.
- Pointers to more information and next steps that pick up where this book leaves off.
Throughout the book, well use as an example a very fake-sounding online business that sells turnip sauce and desperately needs your help.
This book makes a few assumptions about the reader:
- You should have at least a very basic understanding of Drupal. If you arent sure what a node is, for example, youll want to learn a bit more about Drupal before diving into this book.
- You should feel comfortable using the command line to run pre-written commands. You wont need enough command-line know-how to write your own commands or do anything tricky, but you will need to run them and read the output.
- You should know and understand HTML and CSS fairly well. If you arent sure of the difference between a
divand aspanor between#headerand.header, for example, youll want to study up a bit on that first. - You should want to become a better, more efficient, more knowledgeable Drupal themer. If you just want to get a site built and out the door and arent interested in bettering yourself, this book might offer a bit too much detail.

A couple years ago, Riley had a problem. His businessRileys Terrific Turnip Saucewas exploding and his phone wouldnt stop ringing with new orders. So Riley did what any ambitious small business owner would do: he took it to the Web. He did a little reading and in a few days time had set up an online order form so he could take orders 24-7 without ever talking to anyone. This was an overwhelming success.
Fast-forward to now, however, and Rileys tried-and-true order form isnt chugging along like it used to. Hes starting to get complaints about it being hard to use on this customers iPad or not loading right on that customers smartphone. Riley is once again in a bind and this time hes stumped, so he comes to you for help.
Lucky for you, youve been hearing some shop talk about a thing called responsive design that aims to solve this very problem, but you dont know what the heck it is.
In the context of the Web, responsive web design (RWD) is sort of a technical one-size-fits-all paradigm for websites. All in this case refers to all resolutions, meaning anything from a tiny Android phone to a 30-inch desktop monitor.
However, unlike that Velcro hat you won in a contest, one size really does fit all with RWD. Rather than just stretching or squishing to fit into the viewing device or browser window as is done in fluid designs, RWD allows you to actually craft different layouts per resolution so that each size gets a truly tailored experience. All that is done with the same code, and without requiring JavaScript (for the most part).
The idea here is to write CSS that only applies to resolutions in a specific range. That way, we can write code that applies only to phones, code that applies only to tablets, and code that applies only to regular desktop/laptop devices.
