I am building a custom theme. Currently, I put all the overridden *.tpl files under the theme root folder; it would be more clean and meaningful to put those files under "mytheme/templates", but Drupal does not recognize them after I move them. (I did clear the cache.)

Did I miss any steps?

  • Did you clear all the cache? How did you do that?

I've also run into a situation where I had to create a page.tpl.php file before Drupal would recognize other page--foo.tpl.php files.

  • If I'm not mistaken, that is only the case in Drupal 6. Drupal 7 should be able to discover node--article.tpl.php without having to create node.tpl.php. Commented May 23, 2011 at 12:30

Did you use the new template suggestions with two hyphens instead of one ?

For instance, page-front.tpl.php becomes page--front.tpl.php in D7

  • yes, i am using the new template suggestion convention. like I said, if I put tpl under sites/all/themes/mytheme, it works, but if I moved then to sites/all/themes/mytheme/templates, then clear all cache, re-enable mytheme, doesn't work.

I have a copy of Bartik Theme named Vartik.

In the templates folder I have the original page.tpl.php and I have created a page--node--add--CONTENT_TYPE_ID.tpl.php and it works.

Try it!
