Question

The standard template for a node in Drupal is node.tpl.php

It’s possible to call a different template for a content-type, like ‘newsitem’. You will call it like this : node-newsitem.tpl.php.

I was wondering if there’s a way to call a specific Node ID? node-34.tpl.php does not work.

Thanks

In your theme’s template.php put the following at the top of theme_preprocess_node():
$vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'. $vars['node']->nid;

So if your theme is called “myTheme”, you might have the following:

function myTheme_preprocess_node(&$vars){  
    $vars['template_files'][] = 'node-'. $vars['node']->nid;  
}
