How to style full node from views teaser

Posted by tswilson21 on December 9, 2012 at 3:04am

Hi,

This is my first forum post. I have spent a lot of time in Google and have not been able to figure out what I am sure is a basic thing.

I have created a views blog. This blog is styled differently from the rest of the site by views-view--blog.tpl.php. The blog displays the teasers of my blog content type and I have styled this "teaser" page the way I like it. My problem is once I click on the title of the blog teaser it takes me to the full node, but I can't figure out how to style the full node like I have styled the "teaser" page. The full node picks up the style from the rest of the site. The url also goes to 8082/node/23 instead of 8082/blog/article like I would like for it to.

I hope my question makes since. I fear I am such a new drupal user that I dont even know how to make my question make since. Which might be why I couldn't find my answer in google or drupal.org.

Thanks for your help!

You can style the node body

You can style the node body by creating a node-blog.tpl.php (blog is the CONTENT_TYPE_NAME) in your theme templates directory. You need to copy the node.tpl.php from /modules/node directory to your theme template directory.
Style the changes in it and flush all caches.

For the url to change you can use pathauto module and set the url alias as needed.

Hth,

Thanks!

Thanks for the help! For Drupal 7 it was node--blog.tpl.php but you got me on the right track so I could search the support for the theme naming conventions.

Thanks again!
