[support] Overriding page.tpl.php for node type...

[Steve Kessler]

You can make node TPL files. 

 

node-node_name.tpl.php

 

Is that what you are looking for?

So you're saying there's no way, out of the box,  to have a page template
associate with a specific node type?

There's no function that I could write to automatically associate a page
template with a specific node type?

Is the only real way to achieve this with a view?

If this is true, that's helpful and I'll just go down that path.  I'm just
sure I know of people (who are on vacation now) that have made this work.

Basically, you should be calling the template file page-node-[url].tpl.php

Take a look at http://drupal.org/node/190815

The override priority for pages looks like this:

1.	page-node-edit.tpl.php 
2.	page-node-1.tpl.php 
3.	page-node.tpl.php 
4.	page.tpl.php

Cheers,

I'm not sure I understand your question?  I'm not using path auto or views.
I'm just typing in the URL:

http://localhost/type

And looking to access the page

Page-type.tpl.php

The page you are trying to create what is creating the URL. Does the URL
come from Pathautor or Views?
 
Thanks,

This should be a simple question and answer...

I know that a basic premise of Drupals theme hierarchy should be that if I
want a page for a specific node I make a file page-[type].tpl.php.  I have
done this and I still get a "Page not found" issue.  Creating a
node-[type].tpl.php works for overriding the node template for the specific
node type.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what might be missing from the out of
the box Drupal solution to get this working?

I've tried adding the following function to my template.php which I found on
a forum post previously but with no success:

function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
    if ($hook == 'page' && isset($vars['node'])) {
        $vars['template_files'][] = 'page-'.str_replace('_', '-',
$vars['node']->type);
    }
    return $vars;
}
