Overriding zone etc. templates for specific content types in D7
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? -- --- drupal.org/user/367108 linkedin.com/in/jeffrgreenberg accidentalcoder.com / ayendesigns.com @accidentalcoder
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! rgds, datarazor -- Info Razor Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) On Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 9:20 PM, Jeff Greenberg wrote:

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 -- In the top 10% viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012 -- 404-271-9734 Sent from my iPhone.

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; On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 9:47 AM, Jeff Greenberg <jeff@ayendesigns.com> wrote:

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! -- Info Razor Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) On Sunday, March 3, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Jeff Greenberg wrote:
