Q: How can I override my theme's node template file, node.tpl.php, just for one specific node id?
A: In your theme, override phptemplate_preprocess_node() and provide a template suggestion for 'node-[nodeId]', and then flush cache.

It is easy to provide an alternative node.tpl.php template for your different content types by naming your new node template file along the lines of node-[nodeType].tpl.php, placing it in your theme folder and then clearing you cache. Drupal automatically handles all of this for you.

Q: How can you easily specify an alternative page template to be used when displaying a node of a particular content type in Drupal 6?

A: Use the Node Template module, supply an alternative page template file in your target theme folder and configure your content type to use this new template.

DrupalCampBelfast is an unconference-style Drupal training event, founded in the style of BarCamp. While there are some differences (DrupalCamp does more pre-planning on the sessions), they have the common goal of bringing people together in an environment that is accessible to everyone.

Q: How can I arrange for the visibility of certain menu items to change based on the logged-in user?

Q: How can I remove the 'Submitted by' text that is always displayed with my CCK type?
A: Go into the Administer, Themes screen, click on the 'Configure' tab (/admin/build/themes/settings) and then un-check the 'Display post information on' checkbox for your Node type.

This post once again deals with how to re-configure some of drupal's default behaviour so that your website more closely matches your target web design.

Wouldn't it be great if you could merge the best Content Management System with the best e Commerce system going? Sound too far fetched? Well it's something we've been looking into, mainly because the usefulness of something like this would be simply mind blowing.

Q: How do I get the fivestar widget to display on CCK nodes when using a content template to format the CCK type, I have enabled it for my type but the fivestars widget does not show up at all?
A: If you're using a content template to display your CCK node you have to explicitly add code to display the fivestar widget by outputting the contents of: $node->content['fivestar_widget']['#value'];
