Remove or disable style sheets for single node on Drupal

pedro — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:09:57 -0400

I wanted to make one of the pages in my site look and feel completely different than the rest of the site. I wanted to use a different style sheet css file for this page and also didn't want to override all the existing styles.

I found a very good post about it on http://drupal.org/node/258756

        }
    }

How to make stylesheet refresh automatically

pedro — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:06:09 -0400

When I build a site, I always make changes to the style.css file. I always add, modify or remove styles, but there was a problem. When someone came to see my site they would see an old version of the site because their browser would cache the style.css file. In order to avoid this, I came up with this drupal recipe or theme snippet.

Define new regions in your theme

pedro — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:32:00 -0400

This snippet contains the default regions in the bluemarine theme. I just copy and paste it in the template.php and start adding new ones to the array. And then I define them inside my page.tpl.php

This is very useful if you want to place blocks in custom places and easily manage them from the blocks page.
