node--content-type.tpl.php did not override

Question

and now i stuck in using node override with content type. I followed these step.

1. Create new content type name post (machine name: post)
2. Copy node.tpl.php from module to my_theme/templates/node/node--post.tpl.php
3. Go to admin-configuration-performance and click "Clear all caches"

Well, it did not work.

Sorry for create duplicated article, but when i followed from answer, it did not work too.

Answer 1

If you created your sub theme correctly, the sub theme is located under drupal/sites/all/themes/ and NOT in the drupal/themes folder.

So your tpl.php file needs to be in

drupal/sites/all/themes/commons_child/templates

If you copied the node.tpl and renamed it to node--post.tpl.php then there is no differences between the codes. So how did you find out it was not overridden?

If you have modified the code and you are sure your node template file is not overridden, I recommend you to use theme hook suggestion as follow:

Install the entity module. If the post content type has the fields: title, field_f1 and field_f2 then use this code

function YourThemeName_preprocess_node(&$variables)
{
     $node = $variables['node'];
     if($node->type == "post"){
          $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][]='page__post__file';
          $wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('node',$variables['node']);
          $variables['title'] = $wrapper->title->value();
          $variables['f1'] = $wrapper->field_f1->value();
          $variables['f2'] = $wrapper->field_f2->value();
      }
  }

Now create file page--post--file.tpl.php and use the variables $title, $f1 and $f2 in it.

Be sure that you also have a copy of node.tpl.php in your theme folder:

NOTE: When using phptemplate node-[type].tpl.php suggestions, there must also be an original node.tpl.php template present in your theme directory or the template suggestion is ignored.
