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

[Scott Matthews]

Again, I appreciate all the help.

It appears I've been mistaken.  It's not that my page-[contenttype].tpl.php isn't being recognized, it's that components on it are not being rendered.

I put some text into the template and I see it show up when I go to http://localhost/contenttype  so the page is recognized.  But the node is not rendered, nor are other elements that are rendered when I go to http://localhost/node.

I'll probably just have to attempt to debug this further.  I just find it weird that these things aren't coming up.  I might have to do more work with the pre-process methods.

Could the problem also be that the base template file needs to also
exist?   For example, in order for node-[content type].tpl.php to work,
node.tpl.php must also exist and be in the same directory.    Maybe the
same goes for page templates?
