Hello How would I go about creating different page displays using zen starterkit. On google and StackOverflow others have asked similar questions but the answers do not work or are inconclusive. I have used Panels but would like to learn how to theme the required pages myself.
I have page--page1.tpl.php, page--page2.tpl.php etc each with it's own html and css. Zen template.tpl.php has 3 includes probably core functions.
I need pages in which the html and css is entirely different for instance, page1.tpl.php has 2 columns, no header, no footer with small text and image blocks in each column, page 2 has header 3 columns and footer, text should flow into adjacent columns and so on for each page. I do not want a baseline template like page.tpl.php. Creating html and css code is no problem.
I have content types for each page and added a few characters in each page created in each content type but localhost/drupal/page1 does not call the html and css from that page instead defaulting to page.tpl.php which overrides all pages except page_front.tpl.php and places it's header and primary content on all pages then my page1, etc displays underneath.
I appreciate any help to solve this thanks Roger
You can change which template file is used in hook_preprocess_page. Look for the template_files in $variables. You can get more help here:
