Working With Template Suggestions

Hi,

I have created a new content type called "din_page" and added the following code to template.php file function function THEMENAME_preprocess_page(&$variables)

if (isset($variables['node'])) {
        if ($variables['node']->type == 'din_page'){
            $variables['theme_hook_suggestion'] = 'din__page';
 }

PHP:

and created a new template file din--page.tpl.php
When the page loads I see the following in Theme Developer:


This suggests that din--page.php should be loaded ... but it doesn't it load page.tpl.php

Did I miss anything?

I am new to Drupal

Thanks,
R

 

you are passing theme_hook_suggestion as a string when it should be an array

$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__din';

see : http://drupal.org/node/223440 for more information about this.

 

I changed it it to ...

if ($vars['node']->type == 'din_page'){
            $vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'din__page';
}

PHP:

Still getting page.tpl.php loaded. this is what I see in Theme Developer
din--page.tpl.php < page--node--2.tpl.php < page--node--%.tpl.php < page--node.tpl.php < page.tpl.php

and I did make sure the file is in the right directory.

thanks

 

change it to page__din_page and see if it is working and template file to page--din-page.tpl.php
