beginning theming question

Posted by aprice42 on January 21, 2009 at 4:42am

Hello,

I am new to the group, or new to speaking up anyway... I hope that this is the right place to ask...

I am working on my drupal skills and have set out to build a "simple" shopping site for my sisters' jewelry business... I am just getting started with building my own theme and have run into something that I cannot seem to work around:

Using devel module I found a candidate to override with a template file. So in my custom theme directory (/sites/all/themes/latrunk) I placed the file node-products.tpl.php with the code that I wanted it to override with... I cleared the cache, and refreshed the page, and I have the same output with no changes... I have been reading through the theming guide on drupal.org. and as far as I can see, I am doing everything right...

Any suggestions as to what it might be would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Andy

Check template name

Check the name of your content type - is it "product" or "products"? The name in the template name has to exactly match the name of the content type. If you are using Ubercart, the default content type is Product, so your template would need to be node-product.tpl.php.

node.tpl.php

Also, make sure that you have a node.tpl.php template in your theme as well. If you don't have a default node.tpl.php template, then the content type node templates won't load.
