Drupal 7 - What is the variable in template.php that dictates which page template is used? -

-

ok, here's deal: constructing drupal website has several different sections. each section view displays content type. (each section has it's own content type) example, have view points ?q=blog displays content type blog.

all sections little different each other. not 'website-within-a-website' different different enough can't use same template file , each modified css. each section needs it's own page.tpl.php.

unfortunately, afaik drupal theme's .info files can either assign 1 page.tpl.php entire theme or assign page-node-####.tpl.php each node. there going lots of content on website setting drupal make new identical page-node-####.tpl.php every created node unmanagable fast.

to solve problem, going use pathauto create alias each content type. example, nodes of content type blog given alias ?q=blog/[post title]. modify template.php use page-blog.tpl.php page who's alias starts word 'blog'.

other people have tried doing sort of thing , have created functions such 1 described. unfortunately, ones have seen drupal 6 or below. have tried modifying existing ones no success. far, though, think on right track: 

function basic_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {     ...      if( module_exists('path') ) {         $alias = drupal_get_path_alias( $_get['q'] );         $site_section = "blog";         if( strpos( $alias, $site_section ) === 0 ) {             $variable_that_tells_the_page_what_template_to_use = "/path/to/page-blog.php";         }     } }

i cannot find $variable_that_tells_the_page_what_template_to_use know is?

maybe site structured badly. if knows how restructure site can more make theme seperate sections please share how!

thanks million! (c:

edit: perhaps need use template suggestions instead. know function or variable use set this?

they changed name of array key in d7 , haven't seen documented anywhere. figured out after bit of debugging. can override theme template in template.php hook_preprocess_page() so:

function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars) { global $node;  if ($node->type == 'blog') {      $vars['theme_hook_suggestions'] = array('my__blog_template'); // use my--blog-template.tpl.php, note '-' = '_' } elseif ($node->type == 'articles') {     $vars['theme_hook_suggestions'] = array('article__node_template'); // use article--node-template.tpl.php } }

oh , don't forget flush drupal caches after making changes template.php.

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

-
what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

fortran - Function return type mismatch -

i'm attempting recode old c++ program in fortran make use of lapack (i'm aware c++ have lapack++, i'm having lot of trouble installing it, gave up). i didn't have problems compilation, when had variables declared real . when started coding section of program required lapack, found parameters passed dsyev need double precision . tried change double precision (including changing hard coded numbers double precision counterparts, i.e. 0.0 -> 0.0d0) when try compile, following error of functions , subroutines i've written: error: return type mismatch of function <function> @ (1) (real(4)/real(8)) i'm not sure coming from, in program has been changed double precision. for example, i've declared following: double precision :: alpha(3),d(3),zeta1,zeta2 double precision :: a1(3),a2(3),d1(3),d2(3) double precision :: pi pi = 3.14159265359d0 alpha = (/0.109818d0, 0.405771d0, 2.22766d0/) d = (/0.444635d0, 0.535328d0, 0.154329d0 /) 10 i=1,3 ...

queue - mq_receive: message too long -

-
i implementing communication between 2 processes using queue. problem when call function mq_receive, error: message long. i have done following: struct mq_attr attr; long size = attr.mq_msgsize; .... // initializing queue "/gateway" int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, size, &prio); if print size value, size=1, while when print same size program (got same mechanism), not long integer ( -1217186280 )... how can solve error?....so while size = 1, believe it's right "message long" why 1? p.s. have tried put : int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, sizeof(buffer), &prio); but no result. it seems need read docs more carefully. when call mq_receive should pass size of destination buffer. this size must greater mq_msgsize attribute of queue . in addition, seems have error in queue attributes initialisation makes proper mq_receive call impossible. here standard message queue session: fill mq_attr struct ( doc ): struct mq_a...
