Hi everyone,

I am using drupal 7.

Objective: To create a custom page template to be used for every part of the "advanced forum" setup.

Problem: I have created a page--forum.tpl.php template, which is being used for every part of the "advanced forum" except for the post itself.

I notice that the URL most likely has something to do with this as all the sections that are using the page--forum.tpl.php template are basically site.com/forum/*, however, the post itself is site.com/node/*

How would I make it so that the forum post, utilizes this page--forum.tpl.php file?

Thanks,
Curtis

Threads are not technically part of the forum, which is why that doesn't work. You need to put code in the preprocess to check if the page is a single node and if the node is a forum node and then add a template suggestion for your custom page.

Thanks Michelle,

I'll have to look into that, preprocess and hooks and all that are still very greek to me.
