This itty bitty patch allows you to create tpl pages by node type to allow easier node themeing. For example, to make a custom theme file for story nodes you would create a node.story.tpl.php file. Super handy.

Thanks!

In fact, it is actually this patch which does this.

How is this different from how phptemplate does that already? Except node.story.tpl.php vs. node-story.tpl.php

Yeah.

There is a file parameter for phptemplate_callback, that is a 'suggested file'.. it falls back on the default hook.tpl.php (either in the theme dir, or in themes/engines/phptemplate) by default.

Wait, this already exists? Sweet moses, finally!

Now the next thing that you tell me is that these files are created ad-hoc by the CCK system and you can edit them via the Drupal admin UI.

...

...wait, what's that? Can you speak up a little? I can't hear...

Oh. Not there yet...

Um. Ok, thanks.

So Adrian, is this documented somewhere? I hadn't seen that functionality before -- but I was looking forward to it!
