Create custom page.tpl per node type

Submitted by Thomas Lattimore on Thu 04/26/2012

Drupal out of the box allows you to create custom page.tp files per url, but it does not allow you to create them based on the given node type. Here is a little snippet of code I used to define a custom theme hook suggestion. It basically tells the theme layer to look for a page--[node-type].tpl.php file that matches the current the node type that is currently being viewed. There were several places online that stated it should be implemented in _process_page() but I was only able to get it to work in _preprocess_page().

Been Camping it up!

Submitted by Thomas Lattimore on Mon 10/24/2011

I have had the great opportunity to attend several web dev related camps over the last several months. The 1st of these was DrupalCamp Asheville - hosted in beautiful western North Carolina. This was a very successful camp with a really local/regional vibe, but also attracting some extra-local talent. Robert Ristroph of Four Kitchens came all the way from Austin and gave some great talks on Debuggin LAMP and DevOps techniques.

Drupal Camp SC

Submitted by Thomas Lattimore on Fri 06/18/2010

Last weekend I attended Drupal Camp SC, the first Drupal Camp I have been able to go to. It was a fabulous time! Two tracks, a total of 16 sessions (8 in each track), a really great day. There was a wide range of topics covered including anything from Beginning Drupal, to Beginner and Advanced theming, and Node Access. A great day of listening to smart people talk about very in depth ideas.
