Hi, I have a couple of questions on event registration forms:

First, is there a way to have a "main" registration page where a user can select an Event (maybe also showing the dates) to register for?  Is this something we can do with Civi or do we need to build something outside of Civi (like in Drupal Views)?  Our main website is a non-Drupal site, so I was hoping we can do this in Civi somehow and not mess with the external site.  If we need to build something on our non-Drupal site, is there an API to pull a list of Event Names plus Dates from the Civi site?

Also, how do I go about changing the theming for registration pages?  I'd like for all registration pages to look completely different from our main Civi Admin site - I need it to look like our external site's theme.  Specifically, I'm looking to do the following:

• Remove or change the Drupal Site Name, Primary Links, etc for just these pages (I can get rid of Blocks, but what about the Site name?).  Depending on the answer to my first question, we might just want to put the registration forms in an iframe on our main website's page, so we'd want just the form information, nothing else
• Move fields around - I guess this is done by using the right profile and modifying the Registration.tpl file?
• Use a different CSS file just for registration pages

Is there a proper way to do all of this or do most people end up tweaking pages like this?
Thanks!
