Calling page specific, custom html.tpl.php template - Drupal 7

By BadDaddy on 15 Jun 2011 at 20:31 UTC

To call page specific html.tpl.php document for Drupal 7, enter this code in the template.php document:

function THEMENAME_preprocess_html (&$vars) {
if (module_exists('path')) {
    $alias = drupal_get_path_alias(str_replace('/edit','',$_GET['q']));
    if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
      $template_filename = 'html';
      foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
        $template_filename = $template_filename . '__' . $path_part;
        $vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = $template_filename;
      }
    }
  }
}

Duplicate the 'html.tpl.php' document and name it 'html--PAGENAME.tpl.php' (this example would be 'html--hook.tpl.php'), enter custom code and upload it to the server if working online
With safe URL's turned on, create a page ('hook' for instance). This would be the address 'http://www.example.com/hook'
Navigate to: 'Administration » Configuration » Development' and click 'Clear all caches'
Navigate to your page ('hook' in this example) and refresh the page

If my url alias is

If my url alias is hook-example, my html template would be 'html--hook-example.tpl.php', right?

Thanks for your help

Cannot get this to work

xturgorex commented 20 March 2013 at 23:29

My problem is I can't simply add this code. I get:

Cannot redeclare bartik_preprocess_html() (previously declared in themes/bartik/template.php:6) in themes/bartik/template.php on line 49

So, I am trying placing it in preprocess_html function like this...

function bartik_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
if (module_exists('path')) {
    $alias = drupal_get_path_alias(str_replace('/edit','',$_GET['q']));
    if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
      $template_filename = 'html';
      foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
        $template_filename = $template_filename . '__' . $path_part;
        $vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = $template_filename;
      }
    }
  }
  if (!empty($variables['page']['featured'])) {
    $variables['classes_array'][] = 'featured';
  }

  if (!empty($variables['page']['triptych_first'])
    || !empty($variables['page']['triptych_middle'])
    || !empty($variables['page']['triptych_last'])) {
    $variables['classes_array'][] = 'triptych';
  }

  if (!empty($variables['page']['footer_firstcolumn'])
    || !empty($variables['page']['footer_secondcolumn'])
    || !empty($variables['page']['footer_thirdcolumn'])
    || !empty($variables['page']['footer_fourthcolumn'])) {
    $variables['classes_array'][] = 'footer-columns';
  }
  // Add conditional stylesheets for IE
  drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/css/ie.css', array('group' => CSS_THEME, 'browsers' => array('IE' => 'lte IE 7', '!IE' => FALSE), 'preprocess' => FALSE));
  drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/css/ie6.css', array('group' => CSS_THEME, 'browsers' => array('IE' => 'IE 6', '!IE' => FALSE), 'preprocess' => FALSE));
}

Please pardon me, but I do not know PHP or Drupal development.
The template.php file is in the original Bartik theme folder too.. I can't add one to my subtheme folder because I Get the same error

bartik_preprocess_html() previously declared in...

Is there some place in particular I need to place this code?

Edit: Never mind, I got it. I'm always learning. I was not using the name of my sub theme!
Works great thank you! Now, would it be more Drupally to setup second template.php file in my subtheme folder with this modification in there instead of modifying the original? This method seems to work. Are there issues with it?

Thanks

It worked on my first try, that usually never happens!

Worked smoothly

Thanks for posting this. This worked smoothly for me.

That's not even necessary

Delphine Lepers commented 30 July 2015 at 12:26

That's not even necessary actually.
If you check the content of the $vars, you'll see that there is a number of suggestions already, just copy html.tpl.php in your base theme templates folder (create one if there is none) and rename it with the most appropriate suggestion, that tpl will be used instead.
