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-[<I>type</I>].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.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have any suggestions for what might be missing from the out of the box Drupal solution to get this working?<BR>
<BR>
I’ve tried adding the following function to my template.php which I found on a forum post previously but with no success:<BR>
<BR>
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {<BR>
if ($hook == 'page' && isset($vars['node'])) {<BR>
$vars['template_files'][] = 'page-'.str_replace('_', '-', $vars['node']->type);<BR>
}<BR>
return $vars;<BR>
