Question

I’d like to make a e-showcase (eshop, but you can’t buy things) using Drupal 7. I’ve managed to make a custom content type for goods with custom fields, including multiple images (Image field, multiple).

I have two questions:

1 – How to program custom look for my custom content type?

2 – How to make image gallery (like nextgen gallery in WordPress) for the specific good, based on the information (images) from the node?

Answer 1

To make a custom look for your content type pages, you need to create a new node template and place it into your theme directory.
If your content type machine name is goods, then the node template have to be named node–goods.tpl.php (For Drupal 7).

To make things easier, just copy the node.tpl.php from your drupal inistallation “modules/node/node.tpl.php” to your theme folder, rename it to node–goods.tpl.php and make all the changes you need.

P.S. Don’t forget to clear the cache.

Hope this helps,
