Hi,
Does anyone know of a module that will allow small customizations of different content types? I have a few on my site such as, "Company Profiles" and "Research Inventories"
The problem is that often there will be 3 "Research Inventories" with the same name (Bechtel) as the "Company profile." I would like to label each content type, and have an icon maybe so that a user who stumbles upon a page that says "Bechtel" will know if it is a company profile of Bechtel or a Research inventory of Bechtel.
Any ideas for modules that enable this functionality?

As far as a module that can do this, I am not sure there is one.
You can do this in the theme layer (if you are a little handy with PHP).
Most themes in the node.tpl.php file use
<div id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?> <?php print $node->type; ?> ">
to add a type class to the node display, with $node->type being the key indicator).
You then can add a CSS style to differentiate the different node types.

Hrm, so a slightly different stylesheet for each node type? Ok, makes sense, I will start doing my css homework.

You can do it with the theme. See http://drupal.org/theme-guide for a guide. Also search this lists archives.
