drupal 7 panels landing page, how to remove default theme elements - drupal

I'm drupal beginner, and can't solve problem with landing page. I create landing page with panels, set custom css code to it but it doesn't look how I want. I see default elements from my theme (header, nav-menu, etc.) on it. I want that layout fill all my page, how can I achieve it?
I have it
I want do like it

well, I found solution for this problem. I use bootstrap 3 sub theme, and there is file who provide page template, it calls node.tpl.php. I just remove string <div class="main-container <?php print $container_class; ?>"> and now it works well.

go to page.tpl.php file, remove the lines that render the header, the logo and the title. They would usually be in an if statement and the varibles are $logo, $site_name, $main_menu, $title.

Custom template doesn't accept shortcodes

I've created a custom template by copying page.php and then removing basically everything except for the CSS link, so it looks like this:
The div on line 20 just puts a red box on the page so I can recognize that this template, and the linked CSS file, are handling the page. (The idea is to create a large blank page where I can put large tables. I don't want any header markup or sidebar markup, etc., to distract attention from the table.)
I see the red box fine, but when I try to insert a shortcode on the page, to insert a table from TablePress, the shortcode isn't processed. I assume I removed something from page.php that is needed to process shortcodes, since a normal new page, that uses page.php, processes the shortcode fine. Does anyone know what I might have removed that killed the shortcodes?
Thanks.
Two thoughts about your code / problem:
1) I think you should not insert the stylesheet link like this. See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_style
2) You can insert the shortcode with
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[ShortcodeName]');
?>

wordpress. error creating content for custom templates with twentytwelve theme

i'm using the twentytwelve theme and i have to write custom content into my example template.
I want to maintain my header content so the main structure is the following
header = id page, wrapper
ex.page = primary, content
footer = close wrapper, close id page
If i have understood correctly, if i want to insert content into the middle of my page i have to do it into my template page (that is a copy of the main page.php), that is in the middle between my header and my footer
For example i want to insert a div into which insert the loop of such category.
The problem is that it displays me nothing, like i've wrote nothing. I can only see the contents if i erase all the originary div, but it's not what i want to do, just because the only div is the page which is my container.
I can't catch what i have to do.
Can you tell me what i forgot to do?
Thanks,
Alex
page.php is a "master" document. header.php, footer.php and (if it exists) sidebar.php are all imported into page.php. Twenty Twelve also uses atomized content templates. You may need to add your div to content-page.php, which is also imported into page.php. content-page.php is used inside the wordpress loop, and encapsulates the code that pulls in the actual article elements from the wordpress database.
If you are trying to add straight HTML to the templates, ensure that you are not adding code between the php brackets:
<?php // don't add html here ?>
<div>do add html here</div>
Depending upon the type of wordpress page you are trying to display, you may need to consult the Wordpress Template hierarchy to determine the proper Wordpress naming convention for your template file (the copy of page.php).
Technically speaking, everything in content-page.php can be put into page.php replacing the get_template_part function. All the 'content' pages are totally not required and can be combined into one file if you want simplicity.
In my opinion, it's easier to start from scratch when learning Wordpress rather than try and re-work something. The default wordpress themes don't lend themselves to be beginner friendly.

Wordpress template question

I set a template and my default template is 2 columns and i have a page that i want to have a 1 column. How can I make that in wordpress? is it a code for the functions.php?
Please suggest and thanks in advance.
You have different options and you could choose the one you prefer :)
If your theme already supports a one-column page you should have on the right side of your edit page screen a box "Page attributes" with a select box named "Templates" when you could choose a different template (in default Wordpress theme "TwentyTen" is it called "One column, no sidebar").
If your theme doesn't support a one-column page you could create a custom page template by yourself:
copy and rename "page.php" that you could find inside your theme
in the top comments add this line: * Template Name: The name you want for your template
at the bottom of page.php remove the line <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
now you should have the new template in the side panel "Page attributes".
If you don't like the "new template + select box" way you could directly add a "IF" on your "page.php" to comment-out the get_sidebar() when needed, based on $post->ID or similar checks.
After this probably you'll have to edit your .css (adjusting width) and new-page.php (like adding a class "one-column" to the div container) to fit the dimensions.
Go to the edit page area of the page you want to have single column. Under templates (in the right hand side bar) look for "single column" or "full width" page.
90% of themes have this. If yours does not, you would have to take page.php, download it. Duplicate it and rename it to fullwidth-page.php and reupload. Make sure the comment area at the top is right according to the "page template codex" in wordpress.org. Then, delete out wehre it calls the sidebar() code. Add a bit more inline CSS to the main content area to make the inline style width the full width then.

Adding custom CSS to Drupal 7 to hide the message

I use my custom block for displaying a flash game at the front page of my Drupal 7 installation, but there is also the annoying message:
<div id="first-time"><p>No front page content has been created yet.</p>
<div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first last">
Add new content</li>
</ul></div></div>
below it and I can't remove it. Is there please a hook for adding custom CSS? In my module I would like to make the #first-time light grey or invisible.
I prefer not to add a blank content just to get rid of that text.
Thank you!
Alex
UPDATE:
I've added the following to my module:
function game_init() {
drupal_set_message('XXX init called XXX');
if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
drupal_add_css('#first-time {color: green;}', 'inline');
}
}
but don't see that CSS-code or XXX string inside my front page.
UPDATE2:
Oh, I had to clear the cache and now it works (the Drupal docs seem to be wrong here - there was written that 'inline' CSS is not cached...)
Hiding the CSS is the WRONG way of doing it. why did you created your content as a Custom Block?
you should create a "Page" and set this page as front page in the Configuration->Site Information.
Whatever. you can also use any of these options but is not recommended.
you can also also add a BlankPage by Adding only the Title(then hiding it in PHP on page.tpl.php)
you can add your css in /templates/themes/bartik.info
you can call drupal_add_css on the _init() hook of your custom module.
Blocks are used to display information in every page(although we can set to display only on certain pages). Say For Example. A Menu, or A Shopping Cart etc.
If you want to add some CSS for a module, you should use drupal_add_css()
Why not simply add this CSS to your theme?

Drupal 7 - Wanting content (of certain content-type) to appear in block

I have recently started on Drupal (v 7) to create a small company website.
After much reading and watching tutorials, I have started to create my new theme from scratch. I have defined regions and customised the page.tpl.php file to place them into the template (and node.tpl.php etc). All these changes are working and the layout is looking good, and any item I add appears in the main content output.
In my footer region, I have created a block in which I would like links to appear. I have also created a content-type called footer links (with relevant fields) and I have created a couple items of content for it.
The block is showing fine (the title and block body appear). However, despite scouring the documentation, I am not sure what needs to be done to make the items of content (footer links) appear in this block.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
info file snippet for a region
regions[footer_one] = Footer Column One
... and code in page.tpl.php
<div class="one">
<?php if ($page['footer_one']): ?>
<?php print render($page['footer_one']); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
If you just need simple footer links, no need to create a content type for this, you can simple create a menu and add a menu block in footer.
If you really want to use your own content type for these links, you can create a view (with views module) to display what you want in a block.
About creating a theme from scratch, did you try before to create a sub theme ?
PS: I don't think drupal is a good cms for "small company website".
Views is really powerful and sounds like it will do exactly what you need. Otherwise, you can create a menu for your items and place that menu in your region as well.
Regarding your original code, you'd probably need to grab the information about the nodes from the database in order to construct a list on your own, but views basically does that for you :)
