URL based templates
Hi
I need to use different templates for different areas of my website. I read the explanation on how to use URL based templates but my situation is more particular than that.
I have a set of nodes under the following URL
www.myurl.com/es/artistas/*
for example es/artistas/jon , es/artistas/peter or es/artistas/mary
and I would like all of them to use the same template. I tried to create a template calle artistas.tpl.php but of course it doesnt work.
At the same time because of using i18n i am getting the "es" and "en" at the beggining of the URL. Of course once the english version is running there will be nodes under
www.myurl.com/en/artistas/*
So I need
www.myurl.com/en/artistas/jon
and
www.myurl.com/es/artistas/mary
to use the same template. Again I tried "es-artistas.tpl.php" with no luck.
So basically I need a way to pay attention to the second item ("artistas" in this case) of the URL when choosing the template.
I dont really know where to start from, I dont know Drupal well enough for solving this on my own from scratch. Any hints would be apreciated. Thanks!!

Taxonomy Theme?
Have you looked at the Taxonomy Theme (http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_theme) module? It sounds like this might fit the bill...
solved but i am having a look at your suggestion
To my absolute surprise i was able to solve my problem modifying PHP snipset I found. Looks like i am getting better at drupal and php ;)
But i am having a look at your suggestion, sounds like that might be cleaner solution. Thanks!
anyway just in case anyone is interested this is the code I used. It goes into template.php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
switch ($hook) {
case 'page':
// Add node template suggestions based on the aliased path.
// I am interested on the second item of the URL , so this is how it works
// es/artistas/inaki and en/artistas/pedro
// corresponds to page-artistas.tpl.php
if (module_exists('path')) {
$alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
$suggestions = array();
$all = explode('/', $alias);
$suggestions[] = 'page-'.$all[1]; // change this to your needs
}
$vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
}
break;
}
return $vars;
}
