Alright call me dumb but I have been sitting here all day trying to figure out how to alter this dang form. Simple task most likely but I am mainly a graphic designer anyways. So here is what I've done, and what I have. I am utilizing drupal 6.8 with views 6.x-2.2. I have created the views-exposed-form--viewname--displayname.tpl.php with the view name I have created and the displayname, I have a few different displays I don't know if that matters. I have the block that was created by the "Exposed form in block: YES" configuration. placed in the content of a test page associated etc etc. I then copied call the content from the /views/themes/views-exposed-form.tpl.php into my views-exposed-form--viewname--displayname.tpl.php in addition to that I put a

inserted some bad language here

And then I pressed on the "Tools Tab" under views clicked that cool little Clear views' cache button. then ran a cron. Refreshed the page I tested virtually every combination of that .tpl.php file name in both my themes directory and the views/themes directory and still nothing is happening I am so lost I want to know if I am doing something wrong or what. I have been getting help from the following pages:

http://views.doc.logrus.com/group__views__templates.html
http://drupal.org/node/262270
http://views.doc.logrus.com/

Anyways any feedback would be great I am kinda losing my mind (apparently there's not much to lose but still) Let me know if anyone needs any more information to possibly give me additional assistance

On edit page of the view, go to "Basic Settings", "Theme: Information", then press "Rescan Template Files" button, then press "Ok" button, and "Save"

Check if it has changed afterwards.

Good luck!

One thing to check: displayname should actually be the display id of the display, not the title you entered. So be sure to check theme: information.

Otherwise...what you're doing should have worked, I think. I'm not sure what else might be wrong.

I have a view called 'challenge_list', which has one exposed filter, printing through the $form shows the following:

<?code
[#theme] => Array
(
[0] => views_exposed_form__challenge_list__block_1
[1] => views_exposed_form__block_1
[2] => views_exposed_form__challenge_list__block
[3] => views_exposed_form__block
[4] => views_exposed_form__challenge_list
[5] => views_exposed_form
)
?>

I tried views_exposed_form__challenge_list.tpl.php and views_exposed_form.tpl.php, they both works, however views_exposed_form__challenge_list__block_1.tpl.php doesn't.

Any idea?

Convert _ to - when creating a template file.
