Drupal Module 1

Hi,


This is my first post in the blog. I would like to share a Drupal 6.2 modules which come in very handy on a daily basis. In a Drupal powered website it is very critical to manage different layout for different pages. But basic idea is, for every layout you just need to create seperate themes. Now if you do not know how to create one, this link is just what you need:



Create drupal theme from scratch


Coming back to the drupal module. Download the Page Theme Module.

After you have created various themes for different layouts for your website, install the above module and you will get a page something like this under Administer > Site Configuration > Page Theme:



In this you just need to select the theme you have created and the URL patterns to which the theme needs to be mapped and thats it. Its simple and efficient. But this is not the only solution to do that. This is what I liked.

For URL patterns here are some example:

admin
admin/*
search/business/*

and so on.

That's all for now. Don't forget to chip in your comments ;)
