Two main questions:
I would like to theme the normal Drupal flag text into buttons which remain depressed if the node has been flagged, and visa-versa. Does anyone know how to do this?
Second:
I would like to move the bookmark button into a different location on the site. Can I use blocks to do this, or will I need to build this into the theme?
Thank you so much,
Take a look at the Flag Theming Guide for help customizing your flag text/buttons.
If by “bookmark” you really mean a flag, read up on Flag’s documentation to learn how to place flags and more.
