Is there a template hint for overriding a zone template for a specific content type, such as a content zone template for product display, or do I need to create one in template.php?
Hi Jeff,
Not sure what you mean by "zone template" (referring to Omega theme maybe?) but if all you want to do is to make a template for a Node, the format is:
node-{NAME}.tpl.php
where {NAME} is the *machine* name for your content type.
You can also find out the template suggested names by using the module devel_themer, and then clicking on the content type you are interested in. It will suggest functions in template.php and/or template names you can use, based on what you select.
make sure to turn off devel_themer after you need it though cause it does mess up other regular stuff (its a bit of a hog-bug)
there are other techniques to engineer the template names, but this should get you started.
Good luck!

Yes, Omega. A zone is like a superset of a region. So what I want to do is have a template that controls a zone for only a specific content type. I suspect I'll need to peruse the Omega template.php file

Arrgh. So I found several references to, and created a template called node--product-display.tpl.php. It's in my themes's template directory with the other templates in use, and I did clear cache.
When I load the page and click on the product area, with theme developer running, it gives me this for the theme candidates: node--product--type.tpl.php < node--23.tpl.php < node--product-display.tpl.php < node.tpl.php
Yet, anything I put in the template file is ignored, including exit;

if it doesn't pick it up, have you cleared your theme-cache?
otherwise for the zones, you may indeed need to do stuff in the template.php instead. Do you use other debugging tools like devel + dpm()?
if you are trying to preprocess the zone area in only certain conditions I would say you either need to copy the zone file over and add some PHP to it, or work with preprocessors in the template.php.
The alpha/omega theme come with many template files in their theme, if you copy those to your theme you can then override them.
instead of creating a zone-template you sometimes can do the same using the module "delta" and configuring the theme to work differently on a different page. i don't know what you are trying to achieve, but often there is more than one-way to do things in Drupal.
good luck!
