Create theme file for content type?

Question

In Drupal 6, if you had a content type with the system name "stock-photo", you could override it using:

node-stock-photo.tpl.php

How do you do this in Drupal 7?

Answer 1

You can add custom node.tpl.php for any kind of content type like

node--[node-type].tpl.php

I would suggest you to use hook suggestion at template.php for this :

function MYTHEME_preprocess_page(&$variables, $hook) {  // Add theme suggestion for all content types
    if (isset($variables['node'])) {
        if ($variables['node']->type != '') {
            $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__node__' . $variables['node']->type;
        }
    }
}

So that I can have node--wine.tpl.php for content type wine.

Note -- Don't forget to clear your cache after this :)

Answer 2

I think MYTHEME_preprocess_page() function doesn't need for it.

The node--[node-type].tpl.php is only enough for it.
