Drupal Theme Metadata

Writing a .info file is the first step when we create a Drupal theme, .info files contain important metadata about the theme, such as the list mentioned below.

1. name /*required*/

 name = A firt theme name 

2. description /*recommended*/

 description = multicolum Responsive theme 

3. screenshot

 screenshot = screenshot.png 

4. version /*discouraged*/

 version = 3.1 

5. core /*required*/

 core = 7.x 

6. engine /*required in Drupal 6*/

 engine = phptemplate 

7. base theme

 base theme = zen 

8. regions

 
            regions[left] = Left sidebar 
            regions[right] = Right sidebar  
            regions[content] = Content
            regions[header] = Header
            regions[footer] = Footer
        

9. features

            features[] = logo
            features[] = name
            features[] = slogan
            features[] = mission
            features[] = node_user_picture
            features[] = comment_user_picture
            features[] = search
            features[] = favicon
        

10. theme settings

 settings[toggle_logo] = 1 

11. stylesheets

 stylesheets[all][] = style.css

12. scripts

 scripts[] = script.js

13. php

 php = 5.3.9

Each theme requires some basic properties to be set in the themes .info file. The name, core, and engine properties are the minimum requirements for all Drupal themes, Drupal will use default values for the optional keys missed in .info file
