How to use my custom template ?
hi to all
i'm new in drupal ....
befor i used a CMS of my company where i worked wich had very nice template engine ... i'm looking something similar in drupal ..
how to... ?
i have main template with variables $content and $right, i want to have list of news in $right, so i used module "views" ... this module let you override default templates with your own wich is cool .. but for one single news block i need at leat 2 templates ..
first for news block "views-view--News--block.tpl.php" and then for each news "views-view-fields--News--block.tpl" .. this bothers me .. i want to have entire news block in one template ...
in CMS i mentioned before i done it like this:
main_template.php => like in drupal here i have $content, $right
then i have block_news.php ...
in CMS i just defined ... what function (articles list) what template ( block_news.php ) where ( $right ) ... and this is it ..
CMS function articles_list makes an array of news i need so code in block_news.php is like:
<?foreach($articles as $a){?>
<?=$a['title'];?>
<?=$a['summary'];?>
<?}?>
$article is result of CMS query ...
how can i do something like that in drupal ? i want to have total control over hmtl in one template !
thanx for the answers and sory for my bad english..

You can't. At least not with Views.
If you code the query yourself, you could set up your own template, but it's really not worth it.
...some other module ??
if can't be done with "views" is there any other module wich can do something similar ?
Not really. The module for
Not really. The module for making custom lists of stuff is Views.
If you want more control, you can always write your own list of stuff -- look at blog and taxonomy for examples.

Can't Understand!
I can't understand what you want to do, but if you want to take control or create a custom template or assign a custom template to an existing block that you created then investigate or installed this module
http://drupal.org/project/blocktheme
This module will allow you create different template for each Drupal blocks.
i want to do...
