Create a theme for Drupal. Part 3

Part 1 , Part 2

Templates

We will add templates to sites / all / themes / mytheme / templates . Create templates page.tpl.php - for pages, node.tpl.php - for content, block.tpl.php - for blocks, comment-wrapper.tpl.php - for block with comments, comment.tpl.php - for one comment, header.tpl.php - for the header, footer.tpl.php - for the basement, region.tpl.php - for the regions. Also, by analogy with preprocesses, we can create files like node-story.tpl.php to display material like story or block-user.tpl.php for the user block. This allows temizirovat separately different types of site content.

What is the result

As a result, we have a very flexible topic. We can add templates for different regions, materials, blocks just by creating a new file. We can add new ones to new templates just by creating a new file and adding a couple of lines to it. We have selected all the regions with separate templates, as well as the header and basement, which allows us not to duplicate their code in the templates for different pages. All you have to do is to create and add styles and scripts to taste (do not forget to write them in the info file).

Where does it come from

Most of the information and ideas are taken from the ZEN and SKY topics.

Successes in creating those!
