Best way to switch page.tpl.php based on node type?
dougstum - July 24, 2007 - 04:13
I need to switch from three column to two column layout based on node type (e.g., when I display a node of type foo I want to switch layout.) Should I do this directly in page.tpl.php?
Thanks!

If you only want to
If you only want to 'turn a column off', it might be easier to just do an if then statement around the column in question in your page template.
Just for the record, in Drupal 5, as well as node-$type.tpl.php, you can also associate a new page template with a url. As the Pro Drupal Development book points out, the url 'http:/example.com/?q=node/1/edit' will map to
page-node-edit.tpl.phppage-node-1.tpl.php
page-node.tpl.php
page.tpl.php
To create a custom template for the front page, use
page-front.tpl.php.
