I have page named page--news.tpl.php, which i created for my news page. But after i cleared my cache, page still not using, and drupal use the original page.tpl.php. Any ideas how to solve it?
An alternate way of doing it, is through preprocess hook with few lines of code.
Here's how it goes
function <module_name>_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (isset($variables['node'])) {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__'.$variables['node']->type;
}
}
Suppose you have a node type as "news" then tpl should look like 'page--news.tpl.php' and above code will handle the rest.

I want to theme the search result view mode with a template.
I had it in my head that naming a template file node--article--search-result.tpl.php would do the trick, but I'm obviously wrong about that.
I realise I can do node--article.tpl.php and within this check $view_mode, but this is awkward with all the other view modes that I don't want to template.
Ideas?
Adding theme hook suggestions in a node preprocess function should do the trick:
function YOURMODULE_preprocess_node(&$vars) {
if ($vars['node']->type == 'article' && $vars['view_mode'] == 'search_result') {
$vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'node__article__search_result';
}
}
After clear the cache you should be able to use node--article--search-result.tpl.php for your template file name.
Hope it will help you. Happy coding.
I have views that shows profiles of my site within a block.
Now, I am trying to alter the title of that block through hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter.
here is the code of my custom module:
<?php
function homepagefilter_block_view_views_new_users_alter(&$data, $block) {
$data['subject'] = t('New title of the block');
}
I doen't see any effect on the block title...
Why is that?
try hook_block_view_alter().
function homepagefilter_block_view_alter(&$data, $block){
if($block->delta == 'BLOCKID'){
print_r($block);
print_r($data['subject']);
}
}
The deltas of blocks created by the Views module looks like "[view_name]-[display_name]", and the display name is something like "[type]_[number]" by default. So that means the full delta for your block is probably something like "new_users-block_1". However, you can't implement homepagefilter_block_view_views_new_users-block_1_alter(), because you can't use a hyphen in a function name. The blocks Menu module creates has a similar problem (see this issue). As Behzad says, you'll have to implement the generic hook_block_view_alter() hook for now.
I wanted to override page.tpl.php for specific content type.
I have tried these thing, nothing works for me.
page--article.tpl.php
page--node--article.tpl.php
page--node--type--article.tpl.php
page--node-type--article.tpl.php
page--type--article.tpl.php
But when I targetted specific node by number i.e. page--node--8.tpl.php it worked fine.
I think page--article.tpl.php should have worked, but I dont know why its not working.
Please tell me if I am naming it wrong. and how can I debug such things. I have heard I can use Devel module, but know nothing about it. A slight hint in right direction will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You have to make sure that your template can handle this ... I got a code snippet that worked for me here:
http://drupal.org/node/1089656#comment-4426790
<?php
function themeName_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
if (isset($vars['node'])) {
// If the node type is "blog_madness" the template suggestion will be "page--blog-madness.tpl.php".
$vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__'. $vars['node']->type;
}
}
?>
Have you remembered to clear the cache (under Administer > Site configuration > Performance) so that Drupal is 'aware' of your new file & uses this rather than the default.
See here on Clearing cached data
Also, you may need to add a preprocess hook (I haven't used D7 myself, just 5/6 — think this has changed slightly.) This post on Drupal Stack Exchange seems to give more details
I just ran into the same problem.
node--recipe.tpl.php
not
page--recipe.tpl.php
this is, of course, with a content type called 'recipe'.
ALWAYS CLEAR THE CACHE...
Go to /admin/config/development/performance and click the clear cache button. It should be the first thing you do if you've made alterations to the structure of the backend and they're not showing as expected.
Otherwise you almost had it right
page--content-type-name.tpl.php
will allow you to theme the content type template.
I know this is an old question but if others arrive here, the way I override content types in drupal 7 is like this
node--contenttype.tpl
You will need to overwrite the specific node template for the content type if it is anything different than a Basic Page. Please check this out:
http://api.drupal.org/node/19080
Under this page copy/paste the items that are in the node.tpl.php page and overwrite it on how you want. You can access the node specifically by $node
Your template for articles would be:
node--article.tpl.php
Once this is created make sure you clear cache to ensure this works.
So depending on what you are trying to accomplish, there might be some CSS tricks that could help you out.
For instance, to override any CSS rules for a specific node type just remember that your pages for that node type will have a body class of "node-type-[TYPE]" (ie: .node-type-article)
You can then override the CSS as follows:
body.node-type-article #selector {}
Step 1.create a content type for example: my content type is "fullwidthpage"
Step 2. copy page.tpl.php and rename to page--fullwidthpage.tpl in template folder.
Step 3. Add this code to template.php
function <strong>YOUR_THEME_NAME_HERE</strong>_preprocess_page(&$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__' . $variables['node']->type;
}
}
Don't forgot to change YOUR_THEME_NAME_HERE
I've just discovered that if you want to alter a specific page (or group of pages) all you need is to add templates file to the core templates. For instance, I need to theme my /helloword page using a page--helloworld.tpl.php and node--helloworld.tpl.php template files.
Now all I get is a blank screen so I tried to write a preprocess function that adds support for custom theme files like:
<?php
/**
* Adding or modifying variables before page render.
*/
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$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?
Drupal7 + Omega Sub-Theme
Kind Regards
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 working on a restaurant directory site. I have restaurant details page that I need to implement gmap, slideshow, etc. So I need a specific page.tpl and Theme Developer gives the info as below
alt text http://img.skitch.com/20100708-b9af98fb8mpckai5wfpmktxwgf.jpg
but site's about us, contact us, faq, etc pages has same candidate name as page-node.tpl.php . So I can't use that :/
Why isnt there anything like page-restaurant.tpl.php
how can I solve this? Appreciate helps so much! thanks a lot!

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
load();
}
window.onunload = function() {
GUnload();
}
</script>'
If you are just wanting to add Javascript code, you can use the CSS class provided with most themes. For example, Zen will give you
<body class="not-front logged-in node-type-restaurant two-sidebars page-restaurant">...</body>
which you can detect with jQuery as
$(document).ready() { $('.page-restaurant').Myfunction(); }
Regarding slideshow, I've had good luck with Views Slideshow, which provides a block you can just place in a region on your page.
We had a similar question yesterday.
The logic of drupal is that the page should be for the common elements of a page accross all types of page and content types. Page is the top level template, if you are trying to change that per content type you may not have seperated your theme correctly. You have node theming for differentiating between the different types of node. The format is node-[NODE TYPE].tpl.php
Have you created a content type "restaurant"? If you do this, you may find modules like gmap will help you out.
Add the following function to your template.php file. Replace "themename" with the actual name of your theme. This assumes you've created a separate content type for "restaurant" - I gather you have from the previous answers and comments. You'll get an option to use page-restaurant.tpl.php once you upload the edited template.php file and refresh the theme registry.
function themename_preprocess(&$vars, $hook) {
switch ($hook){
case 'page':
// Add a content-type page template in second to last.
if ('node' == arg(0)) {
$node_template = array_pop($vars['template_files']);
$vars['template_files'][] = 'page-' . $vars['node']->type;
$vars['template_files'][] = $node_template;
}
break;
}
return $vars;
}
