I am using Views 2 and CCK and I want to create a custom template for a blog I created. When I create the template using content templates and save it it seems like it is being ignored. Has anyone had this problem before?

Did you rebuild the theme registry?

How do I do that? is there some Views themeing documentation I am missing?

I'm actually not sure where I picked this up, but as a general theming hint, often you don't see changes because the theme stuff gets cached, etc. So you can add drupal_rebuild_theme_registry(); to your template.php file and you'll almost always then see theming changes right away. You'll want to only use this for testing and theming--not on a production site.

Might not be your problem at all, but just in case it is it's a simple fix! HTH!

Another solution would be to clear the theme registry every time you add or remove template files to your theme folder. Go to Site building / Themes and click on Save configuration without making any modifications. This will clear the theme registry, and your changes should appear.

I realize this is old, but just wanted to say: Yes, there is now a handbook page on theming views 2!
