How To: Unique Pages by Content Type

But it doesn't seem to be working for me (I'm making a Zen sub-theme). I've cleared the caches and tried multiple content types / tpl files with no luck.

Also, what does this snippet do to page.front.tpl.php? Does it break it? Do you have to use the node id for your tpl file instead?

Any feedback you might have would be awesome.

Hey Matt thank you so much for this video... In you site I get closer and closer to what I want to do in drupal. There is still one, actually a few things that I cant understand tough, I'm sorry for being such a newbie :P.

I succeeded in creating a page specifically to my content type.
It shows the info I entered on the content. In the new page I created.

What I cant do yet is to put components of the $content area in other areas.. like for instance on the Book form, I created a image cache file field with CCK to upload images... and when I load the submitted book page it shows the picture on the $content area.. how can I change that to the $left sidebar for instance?
I installed the Dev tools.. but I still don't know how to use the variables.

Please can you help me on that? I read so many pages and so many books but I don't know why I still have not grasped the concept.
Should I do this with Views? Or Panels Or just create Blocks?... I'm lost :S

what is the correct way of calling page by node type... page-node-my_content_type or page-my_content_type?

thanks,

vsotto

Hi Matt

I want to start by thanking you for wonderful screen casts on your website. You really have a talent for complicated things in an easy and understandable way. you really saved my a lot of time:)

I watched your screen cast on theming and i was hoping if you could an more advantaged theming tutorial. Like for instance the combination between php and css and how you can alter the layout (move text, make letter bold etc.)

I watched your screen cast here about template files and pre-processes which i found very useful. I managed to create my own template file for my specific content type by using the code but now i need to take it step forward

Greetings from freezing Denmark

In the video (Unique pages by content type) you describes how to add a page-video.tpg.php and add the php

I have done this, I have created a view to display new video content type on path videos so when I click on the tytle it takes me to the full node where the information is displayed.

I'm using Zero Point Theme and the function below is in my template.php file, I have added the code snippet.
is this correct?
Dose this detect the node video when you embed one on a page? (body)
I see that you create a new video content type but how dose it link to the video?
are you creating a content type video display? and use the url in the view?
is it on a separate node or on the same node?
Maybe the same question to find the same solution!
