[themes] themes Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1

[Hannes Kirsman]

Hy!

Altough key in hook_menu is 'page callback', it does not mean
page.tpl.php. Rather you're changing content for <?php print
render($page['content']); ?> inside page.tpl.php

You could use hook_theme_registry_alter to change the location of this template.
function mymodule_user_dashboard_theme_registry_alter(&$theme_registry) {
  $path = drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule_user_dashboard');

  // Alter the path for page.tpl.php
  if (isset($theme_registry['page'])) {
    $q = explode('/', $_GET['q']);
    if ($q[0] == 'dashboard') {
      $theme_registry['page']['path'] = $path . '/templates/dashboard';
    }
  }
}

Note that dashboard in $theme_registry['page']['path'] = $path .
'/templates/dashboard'; is a folder. I don't know how to change
template name here. Don't think it's really needed either.


Does this help?
