I want to add different header file to custom wordpress page template.
I created a new template for custom post type. I want to add a header file to it using get_header() function, but do not want to use the regular header of the theme. I can paste the entire changed header file into the template, but I don't think that is the correct way. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
you can create the header file for every template, for example, to call header-blog.php:
you need to get_header('blo');
I would suggest only replacing the content in the header-file based on the template.
You can therefore add a block just for the template "about.php" like this:
if(is_page_template( 'templates/about.php' ) {
//custom header for about.php
} else {
//Header for all other pages
}
You just create a different header file in you current theme
just like header-custom.php
This example will include header-custom.php
<?php
get_header('custom');
?>

I need to apply the same content on over 4000 Wordpress pages. Now to make it as easy as possible. I create a single page and designed it with the content. So what I want to do now is create a template out of this page. Is there any possibility to export the page as php code to put it in the theme as a template?
(It hast to be the exact content as the template file)
I am also open-minded for other Ideas to solve this problem. Thanks a lot!
Yes, you can create a template and apply your template to your pages.
With the content that you wish to apply to your pages, create a .php file. At the top of this.php (called say page-mycontent.php) file add this header:
<?php
/* Template Name: My Template */
?>
Now the template will appear in the admin panel for Page - Edit on the right hand side.
Code Changes in header.php and page.php
Your changes are in both the header and the loop. So I suggest creating two templates, one for the header and one for the body.
In your header.php, if you name your header code as header-myheader.php then pull your new header template into header.php like so:
<?php get_header('myheader'); ?>
And similarly add your body code (called mytemplate.php say) into page.php like so:
<?php get_template_part('mytemplate'); ?>
Title says it really. Basic pages created in Drupal don’t seem to use the page.tpl.php file as a template.
If I edit the html.tpl.php file, those changes apply to every page, and it causes errors when I load a basic page.
I have also tried to copy the page.tpl.php file and name it page—basic-page.tpl.php to no avail.
Any idea what’s going on?
Also, how do I go about changing the page_top variable to include more content?
Lastly, the default page.tpl.php file has $page variables and things like $page_top and the like.
How would I call the title from the page only and the body text of a page only?
I’m using Drupal 7 and a custom sub theme.
The aforementioned files are in the template folder of the theme and I did clear caches when I added them.
Add $conf['theme_debug'] = TRUE; in settings.php and clear cache, reload page and check view source.
It will display the template file suggestions.
page.tpl.php file common for all pages. Just print anything to the tpl and run any node of basic page as well as other content type page and check if its working or not. If page.tpl.php not working for basic page only, then check your template.php file.
For print a page title just need to use following code:
<?php print $title; ?>
For print body text you need to use following:
<?php print render($page['content']); ?>
This may depend on the theme you are using. But I guess you are actually meaning page--page.tpl.php (double dashes). Which will be taken into account after you added the following snippet to your theme's template.php. Replace MYTHEME with your theme's machine name.
function MYTHEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (isset($variables['node']->type)) {
// If the content type's machine name is "my_machine_name" the file
// name will be "page--my-machine-name.tpl.php".
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__' . $variables['node']->type; // (double underscores)
}
}
See Template (theme hook) suggestions, where I also got above snippet from.
active theme debug for inspecting the template source and you get a different suggestions to user it (just avoid using node/nid).

I've just discovered that if you want to alter a specific page (or group of pages) all you need is to add templates file to the core templates. For instance, I need to theme my /helloword page using a page--helloworld.tpl.php and node--helloworld.tpl.php template files.
Now all I get is a blank screen so I tried to write a preprocess function that adds support for custom theme files like:
<?php
/**
* Adding or modifying variables before page render.
*/
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
// Page change based on node->type
// Add a new page-TYPE template to the list of templates used
if (isset($vars['node'])) {
// Add template naming suggestion. It should alway use doublehyphens in Drupal7.
$vars['template_files'][] = 'page--'. str_replace('_', '-', $vars['node']->type);
}
}
?>
I see no syntax error but I still get a blank screen. Still no luck
Is someone able to figure out what's wrong in the code/routine?

I think there's a tiny bit of confusion here: a template file named node--type.tpl.php will automatically be called for any node which has the type type...you don't need to add the template suggestions in yourself.
There is one caveat to this, you have to copy the original node.tpl.php to your theme folder and clear your caches otherwise Drupal won't pick it up.
Also you don't want to use the phptemplate_ prefix...rather you want your function to be called MYTHEMENAME_preprocess_page.
Your code to add the page template based on the node type looks spot on, see if you still have the problem after you change your function name and clear the caches.
Hope that helps :)
I'm using Drupal 6. I have some css that I want to apply only for a specific content-type. The content types machine readble name is "snap".
I copied the page.tpl.php and created another file called page-snap.tpl.php.
I have restarted apache and mysql and refresh the cache but when I look for the content type snap to use as the DIV I see nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
You can use $node->type to include some additional css...
if($node->type == 'snap') {
//inlcude your css file
}
Take a look at Theming a page by content type
Instructions:
Rename page-snap.tpl.php to page-node-snap.tpl.php.
Create a file called template.php in your theme folder
In template.php, add this:
<?php
function bluemarine_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if ($variables['node']->type == "snap") {
$variables['template_files'][] = 'page-node-snap';
drupal_add_css(PATH TO CSS FILE); // Enter path to custom css here
}
}
Save the file and clear the cache (admin/settings/performance)

If you want different theme for different content type you can try themekey module. Using this module you can configure theme for different content types.
I have a content type that is only used for scripts on my drupal site that should return json data. So the issue then becomes that I can't have any of the theming elements of the site in the output.
So I know I need blank (only the output variable) tpl files for the following:
html.tpl.php
page.tpl.php
region.tpl.php
block.tpl.php
field.tpl.php (the manual says this isn't used but its the only way I could find to remove field divs around the body of my page)
So my question is, how can I create all of the content specific files for this content type? I know its easy to do a theme override in template.php BUT I can only get it to work for html.tpl,page.tpl and thats it. Drupal seems to ignore any content specific functions from region down to field.
I noticed you tagged this drupal-7, which I haven't tried yet. But, in Drupal 6 I would accomplish this by adding a new page template to $vars['template_files'][] in the page preprocess function of template.php. Example:
$node_type = $vars['node']->type;
if ($node_type == '{your content type name here}') {
$vars['template_files'][] = "page-" . $node_type;
}
If your content type was called 'scripts', then Drupal will look for a page called page-scripts.tpl.php, which will contain only one line:
<?php print $content; ?>
