Question

page--node--edit.tpl.php works just fine when you want to create a specific template for editing a node, but is there a similar syntax for creating files? I’ve tried page--node--create.tpl.php or node--type--create.tpl.php, but nothing worked… Does it even exists? Or how can I create a specific template for creating content?

Answer 1

I think using Drupal’s page-- theme overrides would work on a content creation page if the file is called:

page--node--add--article.tpl.php

Where the type of the node is article.

Remember to clear Drupal’s caches when you’ve created the file, and also make sure that this template is part of the active administration theme (although you’ve probably already done this as if you hadn’t page--node--edit.tpl.php wouldn’t work).
