Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/22487 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/22487 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: theme system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: willmoy Reported by: willmoy Updated by: moshe weitzman Status: patch (ready to be committed) looks useful to me. the properly named field for phptemplate can be overkill for small changes, and doesn't track well with core when new node fields are added. further, it is a phptemplate only solution. moshe weitzman Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 10 May 2005 01:36:10 +0000 : willmoy Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/nodetype_theming.patch (716 bytes) This patch would change the main div of, for example, a sticky book node from: <div class="node sticky"> to: <div class="node node-book sticky"> This is to aid theming; motivated by trying to theme forums differently from pages etc. It uses the same convention as node type-specific blocks (e.g. class="block block-book") and it is should be completely backward compatible so long as people do not have very odd tastes in class names. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 10 May 2005 11:30:24 +0000 : adrian You could also just copy node.tpl.php to your theme dir and modify it there to user $node->type, and if you only want to do something for forum nodes, you could copy the node.tpl.php to node-forum.tpl.php PHPTemplate has been moved to core for 4.7, so I will only accept this patch for the 4.6 branch if it is accepted into core. Otherwise your templates will just magically stop working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 10 May 2005 14:42:04 +0000 : stefan nagtegaal I do think this is nicer than the way of having multiple node.$type.tpl.php files as we have now... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 10 May 2005 14:49:33 +0000 : willmoy Both are useful. This exposes options to CSS that wouldn't otherwise be there, but there are of course PHP things that you can only do in node-whatever.tpl.php. This patch augments current functionality, it doesn't replace it or make it redundant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 11 May 2005 18:33:36 +0000 : factoryjoe This will be in the upcoming versions of SpreadSpread (was SpreadFirefox), Lincoln's Revenge and Democratica. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 30 Jul 2005 19:53:13 +0000 : willmoy Ready to be committed if accepted.
