How to create custom pages (Drupal 6.x)
- by jc70
In the template.php file I inserted the code below:
I found a tutorial online that gives the code, but I'm confused on how to get it to work.
I copied the code below and inserted it into the template.php from the theme HTML5_base.
I duplicated the page.tpl.php file and created custom pages -- page-gallery.tpl.php and page-articles.tpl.php. I inserted some text to the files just see that I've navigated to the pages w/ the changes. It looks like Drupal is not recognizing gallery.tpl.php and page-articles.tpl.php.
In the template.php there are the following functions:
html5_base_preprocess_page()
html5_base_preprocess_node()
html5_base_preprocess_block()
In the tutorial it uses these functions:
phptemplate_preprocess_page()
phptemplate_preprocess_block()
phptemplate_preprocess_node()
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars)
{
//code block from the Drupal handbook
//the path module is required and must be activated
if(module_exists('path'))
{
//gets the "clean" URL of the current page
$alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
$suggestions = array();
$template_filename = 'page';
foreach(explode('/', $alias) as $path_part)
{
$template_filename = $template_filename.'-'.$path_part;
$suggestions[] = $template_filename;
}
$vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
}
}
function phptemplate_preprocess_node(&$vars)
{
//default template suggestions for all nodes
$vars['template_files'] = array();
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node';
//individual node being displayed
if($vars['page'])
{
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-page';
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'.$vars['node']->type.'-page';
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'.$vars['node']->nid.'-page';
}
//multiple nodes being displayed on one page in either teaser
//or full view
else
{
//template suggestions for nodes in general
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'.$vars['node']->type;
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'.$vars['node']->nid;
//template suggestions for nodes in teaser view
//more granular control
if($vars['teaser'])
{
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'.$vars['node']->type.'-teaser';
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'.$vars['node']->nid.'-teaser';
}
}
}
function phptemplate_preprocess_block(&$vars)
{
//the "cleaned-up" block title to be used for suggestion file name
$subject = str_replace(" ", "-", strtolower($vars['block']->subject));
$vars['template_files'] = array('block', 'block-'.$vars['block']->delta, 'block-'.$subject);
}
