I created a view called 'splogs' to output a list terms from a vocabulary and the node count per term. The output was correct, but I needed some further customization. So, I tried to theme the view, and I tried all the suggested templates on the Theme: Information page, but none of them worked.
I tried the following template files (which I had placed into ... /sites/all/themes/mytheme ):
views-view--splogs-list.tpl.php
views-view-fields--splogs-list.tpl.php
views-view-field--splogs-list.tpl.php
Here is a a preview of the output:
Fantasy Wizard (1)
Hoophead (5)
Professor Ulane (3)
The Brain (2)
Here is the export code from my view:
$view = new view;
$view->name = 'splogs_list';
$view->description = 'A list of the splogs and node count';
$view->tag = 'splog';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
'name' => array(
'label' => '',
'link_to_taxonomy' => 0,
'exclude' => 0,
'id' => 'name',
'table' => 'term_data',
'field' => 'name',
'relationship' => 'none',
),
));
$handler->override_option('arguments', array(

'validate_argument_type' => 'tid',

),
));
$handler->override_option('filters', array(
'type' => array(
'operator' => 'in',
'value' => array(
'story' => 'story',
),
'group' => '0',
'exposed' => FALSE,

'relationship' => 'none',
),
));
$handler->override_option('access', array(
'type' => 'none',
));
$handler->override_option('items_per_page', 0);
Here is the SQL query:
SELECT term_node.tid AS term_node_tid,
term_data.name AS term_data_name,
COUNT(node.nid) AS num_records
FROM node node
LEFT JOIN term_node term_node ON node.vid = term_node.vid
LEFT JOIN term_data term_data ON term_node.tid = term_data.tid
WHERE (node.type in ('story')) AND (term_data.vid in ('7'))
GROUP BY term_data_name
ORDER BY term_data_name ASC
I've been able to successfully theme views before, so I don't know why this one doesn't work. Any helpful suggestions would be really great - thanks.

merlinofchaos commentedSummary views have their own template,s which regrettably are not yet in the theme: information list as they should be.
Try views-view-summary.tpl.php or views-view-summary-unformatted.tpl.php depending upon which summary style you're using. It follows the same rules as any other style. You'll find the templates in the views/theme directory.

apersaud commentedThank you - that worked perfectly!
Comment #4
larryc11 commentedCustomizing views-view-summary.tpl.php or views-view-summary-unformatted.tpl.php works if the all the summary lists should look the same. But what should I do if I want different customized summary lists? I've tried one advice to change the template name like so:
views-view-summary-VIEWNAME.tpl.php
where I make several summary templates for several views but Drupal still displayed the views as views-view-summary.tpl.php.
35 MINUTES LATER:
Sorry, never mind. I missed the fact that there should be two hyphens in the name of the customized template file, like so:
views-view-summary--VIEWNAME.tpl.php
