<p class=MsoNormal><b><i>How do I theme a page based on content type?</i></b> <br>
I’ve got a site with a few different custom pages and separate .tpl.php
files for their custom layouts and CSS/XHTML. The “Blog” page
is a View with a list of teasers. How do I create a custom .tpl.php file
that only targets the “page” (and layout) that the individual/full blog
entries are displayed on?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Theme Developer list these as the candidate files:
<b>page-node-#.tpl.php<span class=delimiter> </span></b><span
class=delimiter><<b> </b></span><b>page-node.tpl.php<span class=delimiter> </span></b><span
class=delimiter><<b> </b></span><b>page.tpl.php. <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>But I don’t want to use “page.tpl.php” as
its too broad in its reach and I may decide to add other pages non-blog
pages in the future. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve tried “page-blog.tpl.php” – but
it broke my layout. I still have some unresolved CSS/XHTML issues, so I’m
wondering if “page-blog.tpl.php” is the correct naming
convention, but I just have a few bugs in my code to work out?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>A second (less important) question: <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Keeping track of all those .tpl.php files is getting
confusing! The Views pages are easy
(“page-blog.tpl.php” or “page-work.tpl.php”
for example), but Theme Developer is telling me that for all pages using the “page”
content type, that I have to style them by their ID
(“page-node-1.tpl.php” for the “about” page). Is
there any way to name a .tpl.php file for a page content type in a more
semantic/meaningful way? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Such as “page-contact.tpl.php” instead of
“page-node-392.tpl.php”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
