Path-based template files - Got it.

Description

In D5, one could do url-based template files - D6 only looks at the nodes and pays no attention to aliases. I'm working on a site where I need to have different path-based styling (e.g., "Programs" will have one style, "Get Involved" another via /programs/[node] or /get_involved/[node]). This is easy in D5 by creating something like page-programs.tpl.php, but that doesn't work in D6.

I know the answer is someplace here, but either I can't get the snippets to work or I'm pasting them in the wrong place in template.php.

Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated - otherwise I'll need to create a different template for every page - yuck!

Thanks so much for your help - here's my latest ATCK site - very simple style-wise, but the one I'm working on now will be very cool!

Thanks for all your work on ATCK - I love it! Rock on...

Answer is, indeed here.

What I got bitten on, evidently - yet again - is inadvertently pasting invisible characters from posted code. (If you use TextWrangler, always Zap Gremlins for a template.php file.) Arrgh!
