here you go peeps. now you can make this theme work without changing the GL core.
Replace the custom Com_siteHeader, found in the theme's function.php with this version of it:

All changes to the core as outlined in the readme are no longer necessary, so don't change the core. Right blocks will load from the custom Com_siteHeader. thanks again Dirk.
here is an updated readme as well.
Text Formatted Code
"purplerose" theme by machinari and SummitPages.ca
3 column theme based on the clean theme layout, but using CSS-P, and it works.
This theme was designed to look similar to one of the default GL themes
(clean--except for color) in order to illustrate that these layouts
are not impossible for CSS-P.
95% of the template files are built from scratch (plugins not included)
and so, after about 5000 page refreshes, it's done! Many tables were
injured/killed in the making of this theme. Tabular data remains tabled,
however some presentation remains in those particular files cuz I got tired.
features include:
* Tableless layout using CSS-P. Tables used only to display tabular data or
to accomodate functions with hardcoded table elements as well as plugins.
* All style relegated to the style sheet--again, except where it is hardcoded
into the core functions or plugins. --not quite finished this yet.
* A nested right column giving the appearance of an expanding center column
whenever the right blocks are not called.
* The ONLY way to accomplish the expanding center column (using CSS-P)
is to load the right blocks from the header and call them before the
center column in order to have them float right.
* The floated rightblocks allow the center column, when it extends
below the right blocks or when the right blocks are not called, to
extend to the right margin. This applies to the left blocks as well.
* Transparent story blocks revealing a fixed position background image (if
you choose to have a background image there is code prepared for you in
the style sheet--uncomment it to see it in action).
* Tested in Moz 6, IE 6, Opera 6--all on a windows machine. Feel free to let
me know if it breaks otherwise and your suggestions for a fix. In fact please
do test in other browsers and post your findings at geeklog.net.
**--IMPORTANT NOTES and NOTES ON INSTALLATION--**
1 If you choose not to use the image for the not-featured story bottom
border, then I suggest you uncomment the "div.notfeatured {borderstuff: stuff;}"
in the style sheet, cuz without borders the story blocks may look a bit confusing.
The borders will keep your head on straight. :P
2 ****Note: In fixing the plugins, this issue is also fixed as long as "stats" remains in the array--see note 5.
Had to remove the hardcoded table width=100% from the plugins' function.inc,
specifically from the plugin_showstats_pluginname($showsitestats) function,
to deal with the stats page (no longer necessary--see note 5).
For example, here are the details for the forum's function.inc and the staticpages'
funtion.inc file:
in path/to/geeklog/plugins/forum/function.inc, change
$retval = "<table border = '0' width='100%' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>";
$retval .= "<tr><td>$summary_label</td>";
to
$retval = "<table border = '0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>";
$retval .= "<tr><td width='100%'>$summary_label</td>";
(You can find that in "function plugin_showstats_forum($showsitestats)")
and in path/to/geeklog/plugins/staticpages/function.inc, change
$retval = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
$retval .= '<tr><td>' . $LANG_STATIC['staticpages'] . '</td>';
to
$retval = '<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
$retval .= '<tr><td width="100%">' . $LANG_STATIC['staticpages'] . '</td>';
(You can find that in "function plugin_showstats_staticpages($showsitestats)")
****Note: In fixing the plugins, this issue is also fixed as long as "stats" remains in the array--see note 5.
3 Forms look ugly when they wrap column 1, so to avoid this you can just set
margin-left: 167px; or thereabouts, on the col2 content that you don't want
to wrap left, eg, stats and forms. If you change how the columns are set up
and load, then you'll have to adjust this margin accordingly.
4 Once all the HTML is removed from the GL core, this theme will break in many
places due to its accomodation of that hard-coded HTML.
5 For the table-laden plugins, which break the theme now, I have provided a
quick and dirty fix...
* Coded into the custom Com_siteHeader and Com_siteFooter is a bit of
code that will, upon advancing to a plugin page, load that page inside
one big table cell with width set to 1% thereby accomodating all
the tables with width set to 100%, which breaks this CSS-P theme.
Check the code to add applicable plugin dirs to the array. These
functions are found in purplerose/functions.php.
6 Oh, and if you want to see an example of a bloated style sheet--here ya go!
In my defense, I did it for your benefit. :P
The style sheet is quite messy so feel free to clean it up--I will be as time
goes on.
