Migrate from multiple content types and page template files to block/block visibility-oriented approach #14

Open patdunlavey opened 13 years ago

patdunlavey commented 13 years ago

BD themed the site by creating page templates for different sections: e.g. "Home", "News", "Documents", etc., and created individual content types for each single page that anchors that section. This is very unusual, makes theme maintenance a headache, results in a welter of mostly unused content types. I'm not sure if BD simply didn't understand how Drupal theming works (particularly about regions populated by blocks), or if they think they had a good reason for doing it this way. I'm not sure if we will ever get to addressing this, but I wanted to log the issue.

I certainly don't understand how Drupal theming works. Thanks for looking into this at some point.
