I'm sorry if this is a silly question.
I have been reading the theme design tips located here.
I (after being nearly completed) decided to rewrite the theme the proper way to save me some time in the future.
Here's the deal. I am working on using some of the existing code from a theme (extralite? i'm not really sure now), and the main theme file is theme.php. I want to write the theme in HTML, and inject PHP into it. The logical approach would be to save the file theme.html right? How do I tell PN to point to that file instead of the theme.php?
Thanks In Advance.

itathomeinc, please use more specific topic subjects in the future...

Refer to the PostNukeBlue theme that came with your install. In the various sections of the theme.php, within the functions they refer to an .html file, which has PHP included in the same manner outlined in the post you referenced...

Be sure to set $thename at the top of your theme (name of the directory your theme is under)

Or, as nate points out in his other posts, just mix the HTML and PHP like so:

whatever

But to answer your question:


No, keep the theme.php as theme.php, not theme.html. If you want to use mostly or all HTML with HTML files and have more power and control in your theme, check AutoTheme.

After looking through the example theme.php..I understand now.
The file is a PHP file injected with HTML rather than the other way around. Ok gotcha.
