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</div><div><br></div><div><div><br><div><br><div><div>On Sep 27, 2013, at 6:41 PM, Chris Miller wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"LINDA ROMEY" <<a href="mailto:lromey@gmail.com">lromey@gmail.com</a>><br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:support@drupal.org">support@drupal.org</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, September 27, 2013 3:15:32 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [support] Node Template Variant<br><div><br></div>I would do a custom page template for that content type--not a node template which still loads inside teh page, but a page template.
