4.1. Setup and Configuration Issues
Here's a list of some of the more common questions we get about the installation and configuration of Tapestry.
Why can't I see Tapestry in my list of available Drupal themes?
Most likely, you have not copied the tapestry folder into the appropriate place on your host. You should copy the tapestry theme folder into the sites/all/themes folder. You should also ensure that the tapestry folder has appropriate perrmissions (usually x755).
Why can't I see the Tapestry configuration options on the theme settings page?
Most likely, you have not installed (or not enabled) the ThemeSettingsAPI module. If you downloaded Tapestry from our website, the ThemeSettingsAPI module is included in the download. However, you'll still need to install the module. If you download the theme from somewhere else, you may also need to download the module from drupal.org. After installing the module, you must enable it.
Why can't I select a Custom Block Theme when I'm creating a block?
Possibly you have not installed (or not enabled) the Block Theme module. If you downloaded Tapestry from our website, the Block Theme module is included in the download. However, you'll still need to install the module. If you download the theme from somewhere else, you may also need to download the module from drupal.org. After installing the module, you must enable it.
Possibly you have not configured the Block Theme Module. After installing the module, you'll need to do a one time configuration so that the module knows about the block theme templates provided by Tapestry.
When you create a new block in Drupal 5 by clicking on the Add block tab of the admin/build/block page, Drupal only allows you to specify the block description, the block body, and the input type. Only after you've created the block does Drupal let you modify the many other block attributes. After creating your block, click the configure link next to the block name on the admin/build/block page. You should see the Custom theme selection box below the Input type selector.
Why don't my suckerfish menus drop down?
Possibly you have not configured the menu options properly. A common mistake is to forget to check the Expanded checkbox for one or more parent items.
