Theme Files Available for Download
I have uploaded a couple for Drupal v5 that have been adapted to work with the accessibility module.
They are just the outline needed to to work with the module. All files that are loaded by Drupal as default. It is advisable to disable some of the features - logo.png in the wap template for example. The stylesheets are empty, so you can adapt to meet your needs. The "web" template is "bluemarine" with no stylesheet.
To install, extract the folders to your sites > all > themes directory. View the readme.txt that are available to get further details. See related links below for the download location.
Please note that these files are really only meant for demonstration purposes. The accessibility module does look for these theme directories, but you can theme as you with. The main thing is the $dtd variable that is introduced and the primary link theming. Provided that the common.inc is edited as suggested, the module will work as expected provided there are the following theme directories:
- mobi
- wap
- web

where are the files agin?
maybe i am missing the link to these theme files. maybe I'm just missing the point. I have been trying to download these themes for days. I get multiple xml parsing errors when using the accessibility module and have been having no luck solving all of the problems that using this module has caused.
Theme Files are listed below
Here are the links again. You should see them on the page below under Related links.
If the errors are for Drupal v5, please log issues at the project page. The theme files are meant for demonstation purposes only and layouts haven't been tested. The main changes are the top 2 lines of the page.tpl.php file and template.php. Please eloborate...
Regarding XML parsing errors, the script generates
application/xhtml+xmlheaders for browsers that accept it. This means that if your content / templates or anything are malformed, the pages will not display. You can switch off this header type.Further details of this will be documented soon.

XML Parsing error
Very glad to have found your module as it is exactly what I've been searching for to augment my site. After installing the module, and following the directions to modify all the necessary files, I am having problems accessing content related pages (the admin section is unaffected). In trying to do so I get the following error in firefox and a similar one in safari:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: < /hr>. <--inserted space so you could see the complete error message.
I've tried to include all relevant information below:
-drupal 5.2 installation
-modified comment.inc according to the Comment Inc V5 page here
-modified page.tpl.php
-created a template.php file (not sure what to do with it though)
-created web, wap, and mobi directories in the themes folder
This problem only occurs with the theme called 'tech', so I'm guessing there is some sort of incompatibility. However, I have been through the template files and the code is clean, and, to the best of my knowledge, not malformed. This theme, as far as I can tell, is one of the better built and reliable ones on drupal.org, and I have never had problems with it. (Granted, I'm a total drupal noob.)
Searching for this error on drupal.org yielded no helpful results. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have.
The perils of XML unfortunately
Hi Jonathon,
There are a number of ways to contain this:
1: In accessibility module admin, select Override xHTML mime type - this will send the content as text/html
2: Select Try to correct HTML to try to fix the xHTML
Looking at the error, make sure that your file with the
< hr >is actually closed correctly:< hr / >(no spaces at beginning and end).Edit: that is your problem, on line 35!!
Hope that helps and good luck with the module, please keep in touch with feedback.

It worked!
Well, Jamie, you are officially the smack. I've got your module up and running now with no problems. Thanks for all the help!!!
You're Welcome
No problem. Just remember you have to be ultra careful when using application/xml.
Comments can goose the site too if you are not careful.
Make sure you use a XHTML validator before actually publishing any content or
override the setting and send as text/html.
Of course, since IE is still the most popular browser this shouldn't be an issue there as the module renders text/html to Internet Explorer and any other browsers that cannot handle application stuff.
Enjoy and keep me posted.

How to update Themes v5 to work with Drupal 6.x?
Hello Jamie,
I am a big fan of your "Themes v5" for Drupal 5.x. Today I made a post here about how to create a mobile theme for Drupal 6.x:
http://drupal.org/node/196520
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Shaun Apple
Nothing yet
Hi Shaun,
There is nothing yet. I have only installed Drupal v6 to have a look at it -
haven't really looked how it works otherwise.
Perhaps in the beginning of the year I will start the redevelopment work required to get this ready for v6.
The module hasn't really taken off as expected and I am not sure what the actual development plans are yet :)
Thanks for your support!

how does this module actually work?
I appreciate your work on this module. Of the available mobile themes/modules on drupal...your site is the only one that validates and works well on mobile devices. I assume skiffie.com is using the accessibility.module. Congratulations. Anyway...I have followed your directions to the letter numerous times and I cannot get this stuff to work...that is your accessibility module and drupal 5 themes from this site. Could you be kind enough and step by step me through this...explain what needs to be done? For example...within the drupal 5 themes I downloaded I get wap, mobile, and web stylsheets that are empty. Why? How are they useable? Also, how do I use these themes? Do I enable them and let them sit until a mobile device requests a page while running another theme or does one of them have to be the default theme? In short, I'm lost and need all of this clarified. I really would like to get my site running on mobile devices and you obviously are very knowledgable on how to do this. I would greatly appreciate any help you care to give. By the way, I read somewhere on this site that reception of this module has'nt been so great. I think that's because this module is not so easy to use (it ships with no README file) and second, most people don't think about the mobile web...yet. You are way ahead of others with this module and I thank you for it.
cheers,
wim
Overview
Hi Wim,
I know we have already corresponded but just to let others know (that may have missed the link on the front page) a new overview has been published.
For more information read the accessibility module in depth.
Thanks for the feed back..

Updated theme files for Drual v6
Thought I better add these links again if people are having problems finding them. Note that any changes to the themes need to be made directly to the files and not through the accessibility module..
