Is there a way to set a custom content type page to a custom node concept via the template files? I.e. posting an event, but I want the event page to have some exclusive custom modules + css outside of the standard node template.

To use a different template for a node type (that still sits in the content area of your themes
page.tpl.phpfile), just get the machine name of your content type and copy the node.tpl.php file fromroot/modules/nodetoyour_theme/templates/and rename itnode--MACHINE_NAME.tpl.php. Clear your cache and it will start being picked up by Drupal.To reformat an entire page is quite similar. Copy
root/modules/system/page.tpl.phpto youryour_theme/templates/and rename it topage--MACHINE_NAME.tpl.php. Clear your cache and you’re ready to go.You can style individual nodes by using the node template method above but replacing the machine name with your node nid.
