    <p>I realize this question has been asked, but I either simply don't understand or the previous answers don't apply (or I don't understand how to apply them) to my circumstance. Here goes:</p> <p>I have a custom module named: </p> <p>"my_module" in /sites/all/modules/custom/my_module</p> <p>I have a module file: </p> <p>/sites/all/modules/custom/my_module/my_module.module</p> <p>I have a page template name "page-mypage" which is NOT in my module:</p> <p>/sites/all/themes/<strong>mytheme/pages</strong>/page-mypath-mypage.tpl.php</p> <p>I made the hook menu for this:</p> <pre><code>$items['mypath/mypage'] = array( 'title' =&gt; 'My Page!', 'page callback' =&gt; 'my_module_mypage', 'page arguments' =&gt; array(1,2), 'access callback' =&gt; true, 'type' =&gt; MENU_CALLBACK, ); </code></pre> <p>In the function, I build up some content like so:</p> <pre><code>function my_module_mypage($x, $y) { $output = "foo AND bar!"; return $output; } </code></pre> <p>In the template (again, NOT in my module folder, but in the THEME subfolder "pages", I have:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php print $content ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I go to <a href="http://mysite/mypath/mypage" rel="nofollow">http://mysite/mypath/mypage</a> I get "foo AND bar!"</p> <p>Now for the question. I want a new variable, defined in my_module_mypage(), called '$moar_content'. I want to output $moar_content in my page-mypath-mypage.tpl.php. I only need to do this for this module and for this template. I do not need it theme-wide, so I don't think using mytheme's 'template.php' is appropriate.</p> <p>I think I need to use some kind of preprocessing, but everything I try fails, and everything I read seems to be missing some kind of magic ingredient.</p> <p>My thinking was:</p> <pre><code>function my_module_preprocess_page_mypath_mypage(&amp;$variables) { $variables['moar_content'] = 'OATMEAL'; } </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>function my_module_preprocess_my_module_mypage(&amp;$variables) { $variables['moar_content'] = 'OATMEAL'; } </code></pre> <p>or something. I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track, but I'm hitting a brick wall.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
