SIDEBARS DIMMENSIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The maximum with available for sidebars is as follow: | left | right | both ----------------------------------------------------------------- Variable asyimmetrical sidebars (wide) | 250 | 300 | 160-234 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed asyimmetrical sidebars (wide) | 160 | 234 | 160-234 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Variable asyimmetrical sidebars (narrow) | 230 | 280 | 140-214 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed asyimmetrical sidebars (narrow) | 140 | 214 | 140-214 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Equal width sidebars (narrow) | 155 | 155 | 155-155 ----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Do not exceed the available width (especially with images) or IE will not behave so the sidebars may drop. USING THE SuckerFish DROP-DOWN MENU -------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The menu can either be a two-level static menu or a suckerfish drop-down menu. Out of the box the theme will show the primary and secondary menu. If you select (/admin/build/menu/settings) the same menu as primary links then secondary links will display the appropriate second level of your navigation hierarchy. Choose "Suckerfish" to enable support for Suckerfish drop menus. NOTE: Go to /admin/build/menu and expand all parents in your primary menu. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1) Place the zeropoint directory into your themes directory (sites/all/themes/zeropoint). 2) Enable the 0 Point theme (/admin/build/themes). 3) You can configure settings for the 0 Point theme at /admin/build/themes/settings/zeropoint. If you place the theme in a location other than /sites/all/themes/zeropoint you should modify the path in /zeropoint/css/iepngfix.htc and /zeropoint/css/ie.6, accordingly. UPGRADING to a new version of 0 Point -------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1) If possible, log on as the user with user ID 1. 2) Put the site in "Off-line" mode. 3) Go to admin/build/themes/settings/zeropoint and change the theme development settings to "rebuild theme registry on every page". 4) Place the zeropoint directory into your themes directory (sites/all/themes/zeropoint). In case you have done customization to 0 Point theme, remember to overwrite theme custom-style.css with your custom-style.css file. 5) Configure the new settings for the 0 Point theme at /admin/build/themes/settings/zeropoint. 6) Clear the Drupal cache and deactivate the "rebuild theme registry on every page" option and put the site in "On-line" mode. It is always a good idea to refresh the browser's cache (CTRL+F5). NOTE: In rare cases, if after upgrading the theme can not be configured you should delete all the zeropoint records in the data base.
