Some handy things to add to
Some handy things to add to your page.tpl.php:
To allow page-specific theming by node type -
<?php print $node->type; ?>You may want to use this in your node.tpl.php file to allow you to style different node types separately, like so:
<div class="node<?php print ($sticky) ? " sticky" : ""; ?> node-<?php print $node->type; ?>">To allow page-specific theming by page title -
<?php print $title; ?>You may wish to apply this to the body tag in your page.tpl.php so you can use css overrides:
<body class="node-is-<?php print $node->type; ?> title-is-<?php print $title; ?>" <?php print theme("onload_attribute"); ?>>
