Hi,
Customized bluemarine theme
Drupal 5.7
Gallery2
phpBB3

I have my page.tpl.php set to display both left and right sidebars and created another page-tutorials.tpl.php without the sidebars but, it still shows them.

Code for page-tutorials.tpl.php:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="header">
  <tr>
    <td id="logo">
      <?php if ($logo) { ?><a href="<?php print $base_path ?>" title="<?php print t('Infinitee Exceptional Artists Community') ?>"><img src="<?php print $logo ?>" alt="<?php print t('Infinitee Exceptional Artists Community') ?>" /></a><?php } ?>
      <?php print $search_box ?>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"><div><?php print $header ?></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<div id="footer">
  <?php print $footer_message ?>
</div>
<?php print $closure ?>

Am I missing something or is there another way to create custom page template?

Thanks in advance,
Ralph

This is what I use http://drupal.org/node/159044

Just create a template.php file and insert the code from the above post. Then upload the template.php file to your default theme directory. I've been using this for quite a while and it works good although it won't work for D6

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':
  
      // Add page template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // page_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // page_about_history.tpl.php
      // page_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'page';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;

    case 'node':
  
      // Add node template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // node_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // node_about_history.tpl.php
      // node_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'node';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;
  }

  return $vars;
}
?>

When you use this do you use it as is or do you have to manually add suggestions?

$template_filename = $template_filename . '_' . $path_part;

Like this???

 $template_filename = $template_filename . 'my-custom-template.tpl.php' . $path_part;

if you're using aliases (pathauto perhaps) then try this: http://drupal.org/node/139766

If you're using a content type called 'tutorials' you can try adding this to the top of your page.tpl.php
<?php if ($node->type == 'tutorial') { include 'page-tutorial.tpl.php'; return; } ?> (although some say it's not recommended, it does work.)

You have to tell the theme engine about the template file, try this in the template.php file for your theme:

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':     
      // Add page template suggestions based on node type.
      // page-nodetype-news.tpl.php
      if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {         
        $vars['template_files'] = 'page-tutorials';       
      }
    break;
  }
  return $vars; 
}
?>

I am new to this stuff so please be specific with explinations. I tried adding 'page-tutorials' as well as 'page-tutorials.tpl.php' and neither seems to work. I am assuming that if I do get this to work that I can add multiple template pages? Something like this...

$template_filename = $template_filename . 'page-tutorials.tpl.php,page-login.tpl.php,page-whatever.tpl.php' . $path_part;

or

$template_filename = $template_filename . 'page-tutorials,page-login,page-whatever' . $path_part;

Which ever is correct.

This is my template.tpl.php: - http://community.infinitee-designs.com/tutorials

<?php
function infinitee_regions() {
  return array(
        'left' => t('left sidebar'),
        'right' => t('right sidebar'),
        'content' => t('content'),
        'header' => t('header'),
        'footer' => t('footer'),
				'header_right' => t('header right'),
        'frontpage_top' => t('frontpage top'),
        'frontpage_center' => t('frontpage center'),
        'frontpage_bottom' => t('frontpage bottom'),
				'frontpage_latest' => t('frontpage latest'),
				'frontpage_latest2' => t('frontpage latest2'),
   );
}

?>

function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':
