Displaying description and a logo image along with the title for each content type

By stevemagruder on 19 Jun 2008 at 02:46 UTC

Since a description is already entered for each content type, is there a module or theme approach for displaying this description beneath the title for a content type?

Also, is there a module for associating a logo image with a content type that can then be displayed near the title and description for a content type?

In the case of both the description and logo image, these would display for all users of the site.

Any ideas?

I don't know of any module

I don't know of any module that would do what you ask, and I've looked.

But you could do it yourself using phptemplate.

Take a look at node.tpl.php in your currently-used theme. It defines, using php, how your node should look when rendered.

Assuming you're using a custom content type called blogpost, for example, you can simply make a copy of node.tpl.php and call it node-blogpost.tpl.php and phptemplate will automatically use that file instead of node.tpl.php. Simply embed any static info you want displayed with that content type in this new file, such as <img src="imageofblogpost.gif"> and whatnot.

At least that's how I'd do it...
