Welcome to Pride Web Design Cork!

Pride Web Design Cork are a group of two freelance Website designers and a Web developer, two of us are based in Cork and one in Wicklow. We mostly work with Cork based SMEs and start-ups but we have also worked very well with companies all over Ireland.

We have grouped together because between us we have a wide skill set which allows us to create websites from very basic brochure sites, to more complex and powerful Web 2.0 solutions and Content Management Systems (CMS), such as the award winning Drupal.

We are:

Shane : Web Design Guru (Web Designer: Design, Flash, Illustration, CMS)
Sinéad : CSS Ninja (Web Designer: Design, CSS, CMS)
Kev : Code Master (Programmer: MySQL, PHP, XML, Java Script, CMS)

The Internet is fast moving and ever changing, so it's a really exciting field to work in. We keep up to date with all the latest and greatest tools of the trade, so we can offer our clients the best solutions to bring their website to life.

Q: How do I remove unwanted page tabs in drupal 6?
A: Follow the instructions in this article - http://drupal.org/node/483324

Yet another post about trimming away unwanted stuff from drupal so that your website better matches your target web design! This time it's about removing unwanted page tabs. In my case I wanted to remove to tabs from the userplus module's screen - the 'assign user roles' and 'assign user groups' tabs. The client doesn't want them so they just have to go!

Q: How can I override the default print.css with a .css file in my theme folder? I put print.css into my theme folder but it's not being used.

A: To use your own print.css file you have to configure the 'Printer, e-mail and PDF versions' module to specify which .css file that it should use.

Q: How can I apply a theme to some blocks on my drupal website that is different to the default block theme?

A: One way to do this is to use the most excellent Block Theme module and provide your own custom blocktheme-theme_name.tpl.php template file.

Q: How can I completly remove the 'Preview Button' from (some or) all of my node type and associated comment forms in Drupal 6?

A: Use the Jammer module and configure it to remove the preview button from the desired node types.

Q: How do I gt rid of the 'Formatting Guidelines' and related text from my Drupal submission forms?
A: You can do this in two ways (a) Install the better_formats module, or (b) hide this text by simply editing your theme's style.css file.

Q: How can I get rid of that pesky but persistent 'Revision Information' settings section from the create & edit content forms in Drupal 6?

A: You just need to hook into the phptemplate_node_form() function and disable the field - just a bit of PHP required!

Marketing and advertising is an expensive business. Well, it used to be before the internet came along.

More companies then ever are realising that by investing in a good website they can reach a mass market which, in the medium to long terms, is much better value then advertising in print. As this article points out, an ad even in a local paper might set you back €1,800.00 for a one off add, which makes it very expensive to keep your company in the public spotlight.

As any web designer will testify - Internet Explorer 6 or IE6 - can be a very flaky piece of software, it just seems to render websites in it's own special way, totally differently to all the other web-browsers, requiring far more hacks to Style Sheets to get things working.

Well, it looks like a Web designer in Normay might have spelt the end of IE6! Going to his site using IE6 and you're advised to upgrade your browser and you're given links to all the other software you can use, well this has spread like wildfire across Norway and is now spreading further across the web!
