1) Installed:

function aquia_prosper_preprocess_page(&$vars) {

// custom content type page template
// Renders a new page template to the list of templates used if it exists
if (isset($vars['node'])) {
// This code looks for any page-custom_content_type.tpl.php page
$vars['template_files'][] = 'page-'. str_replace('_', '-', $vars['node']->type);
}
}

into template.php file of aquia prosper subtheme ...

2) Created content type machine named 'videodisplay'

3) Created an instance of the content type .... (video)

4) Created a custom page template 'page-videodisplay.tpl.php // I removed headers and footers and everything except the content area to print the custom video content - node loads in a lightbox so headers, etc and not desired.

5) Cleared cache ....

6) Custom template does not load up ....

Ideas for developing a custom page template?

Thank you ....

Nothing in the Acquia Prosper or Fusion themes would prevent you from using the usual methods of suggesting new theme templates. If the node is loading in a lightbox, then whatever method you are using to render that lightbox may be bypassing the usual Drupal page theming. Have you tested whether the template works without rendering the node in a lightbox?
