[support] Node Template Variant

[LINDA ROMEY]

Chris, just as you put all contrib modules in sites/all/modules, you should have your themes in sites/all/themes
so you'd have sites/all/themes/yourtheme
and in yourtheme you'd have a direcotry called templates. Most themes have one, if not, create one. Any template you create or any template you alter (i.e. a template supplied by a module) should go in that folder. Then you don't have to worry about overriding with upgrades

You'd name it page--node--[content type].tpl.php and it will override both the page and node templates for your content type. You might also need to do a node--[content type].tpl.php, too. I am assuming you are using Drupal 7
