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></blockquote><div><br>Hi Linda,<br></div><div><br></div><div>So, I am using the Bartik theme, for now, and I seek special formatting for a content-type called "Music". If I understand your instructions, then I should copy and subsequently modify:</div><ul><li>/themes/bartik/templates/node.tpl.php ==> /sites/all/themes/bartik/templates/node--music.tpl.php</li><li>/themes/bartik/templates/page.tpl.php ==> /sites/all/themes/bartik/templates/page--node--music.tpl.php</li></ul><div>So far, so good?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Now my next question. Let's assume that this is going to happen more frequently than just this one content-type. Is there a way to make the template general and applicable to arbitrary content, like assign it to a panel, and then I can put whatever content I need on that panel? I don't know if I will need this template again, but my preference is to create a re-usable template, not a special kind of content-type. Can that be done?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the help,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Chris.<br></div></div></body></html>
