I want to create an drupal page Template depending on the url alias. Her my current situation:
I create a page named test, the url alias is test, too.
The page template, based on this docu - http://drupal.org/node/1089656 is: page--test.tpl.php.
I cleaned the drupal them cache, but there is still the default page template shown for this page.
What could be the error?
page--test.tpl.php doesn't work because Drupal is using the real path of page--node--#.tpl.php. To get Drupal to recognize aliased paths, you have to add the aliased path as part of the theme suggestions like so:
function MYMODULE_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
// only do this for page-type nodes and only if Path module exists
if (module_exists('path') && isset($vars['node']) && $vars['node']->type == 'page') {
// look up the alias from the url_alias table
$source = 'node/' .$vars['node']->nid;
$alias = db_query("SELECT alias FROM {url_alias} WHERE source = '$source'")->fetchField();
if ($alias != '') {
// build a suggestion for every possibility
$parts = explode('/', $alias);
$suggestion = '';
foreach ($parts as $part) {
if ($suggestion == '') {
// first suggestion gets prefaced with 'page--'
$suggestion .= "page--$part";
} else {
// subsequent suggestions get appended
$suggestion .= "__$part";
}
// add the suggestion to the array
$vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = $suggestion;
}
}
}
}
