I need some help on combing the code on the following pages so that its possible to switch both node-alias.tpl.php and page-alias.tpl.php templates

Different page templates depending on URL aliases
http://drupal.org/node/139766

and

Different node templates depending on URL aliases
http://drupal.org/node/117491

Thanks

I thiink this will do the trick though it untested

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':
   
      // Add both page and node template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // page_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // page_about_history.tpl.php
      // page_about.tpl.php
      // node_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // node_about_history.tpl.php
      // node_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever approriate one is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'page';
          $template2_filename = 'node';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
            $template2_filename = $template2_filename . '_' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template2_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;
  }
 
  return $vars;
}
?>

Hi

Works for page_template1.tpl.php but when I create a node_template1.tpl.php the template (page_template1.tpl.php) is not read and stripped out and only shows the node-template1.tpl.php as the main template.

Thanks

II should have read the node example a little closer.
How about this

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':
   
      // Add page template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // page_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // page_about_history.tpl.php
      // page_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'page';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;

    case 'node':
   
      // Add node template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // node_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // node_about_history.tpl.php
      // node_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'node';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;
  }
 
  return $vars;
}
?>

Haven t had time to test this out as I went with the taxonomy theme way but will try it out later today.

Tried it and it works so far. Even works with the Taxonomy Theme module.

I had a problem with Taxonomy Theme not showing some blocks on certain themes. I got rid of Taxonomy Theme and I've switched to using the code posted here and its been working pretty good so far.
