[themes] Overriding zone etc. templates for specific content types in D7

[Info Razor]

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!
