Custom template page-tutorials.tpl.php won't overide page.tpl.php
Inifnitee - May 10, 2008 - 23:48
Hi,
Customized bluemarine theme
Drupal 5.7
Gallery2
phpBB3
I have my page.tpl.php set to display both left and right sidebars and created another page-tutorials.tpl.php without the sidebars but, it still shows them.
Code for page-tutorials.tpl.php:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="header">
<tr>
<td id="logo">
<?php if ($logo) { ?><a href="<?php print $base_path ?>" title="<?php print t('Infinitee Exceptional Artists Community') ?>"><img src="<?php print $logo ?>" alt="<?php print t('Infinitee Exceptional Artists Community') ?>" /></a><?php } ?>
<?php print $search_box ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><div><?php print $header ?></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="footer">
<?php print $footer_message ?>
</div>
<?php print $closure ?>Am I missing something or is there another way to create custom page template?
Thanks in advance,
Ralph
This is what I use
This is what I use http://drupal.org/node/159044
Just create a template.php file and insert the code from the above post. Then upload the template.php file to your default theme directory. I've been using this for quite a while and it works good although it won't work for D6
<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($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;
}
?>
$template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
When you use this do you use it as is or do you have to manually add suggestions?
$template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
Like this???
$template_filename = $template_filename . 'my-custom-template.tpl.php' . $path_part;Infinitee Designs

if you're using aliases (pathauto perhaps) then try this: http://drupal.org/node/139766
If you're using a content type called 'tutorials' you can try adding this to the top of your page.tpl.php
<?php if ($node->type == 'tutorial') { include 'page-tutorial.tpl.php'; return; } ?>(although some say it's not recommended, it does work.)~silverwing

You have to tell the theme
You have to tell the theme engine about the template file, try this in the template.php file for your theme:
<?phpfunction _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
switch ($hook) {
case 'page':
// Add page template suggestions based on node type.
// page-nodetype-news.tpl.php
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$vars['template_files'] = 'page-tutorials';
}
break;
}
return $vars;
}
?>

Still not working...
I am new to this stuff so please be specific with explinations. I tried adding 'page-tutorials' as well as 'page-tutorials.tpl.php' and neither seems to work. I am assuming that if I do get this to work that I can add multiple template pages? Something like this...
$template_filename = $template_filename . 'page-tutorials.tpl.php,page-login.tpl.php,page-whatever.tpl.php' . $path_part;
or
$template_filename = $template_filename . 'page-tutorials,page-login,page-whatever' . $path_part;
Which ever is correct.
This is my template.tpl.php: - http://community.infinitee-designs.com/tutorials
<?php
function infinitee_regions() {
return array(
'left' => t('left sidebar'),
'right' => t('right sidebar'),
'content' => t('content'),
'header' => t('header'),
'footer' => t('footer'),
'header_right' => t('header right'),
'frontpage_top' => t('frontpage top'),
'frontpage_center' => t('frontpage center'),
'frontpage_bottom' => t('frontpage bottom'),
'frontpage_latest' => t('frontpage latest'),
'frontpage_latest2' => t('frontpage latest2'),
);
}
?>
<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($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,
