Template suggestions for page on specific node id I created 2 nodes of the content type page for which i want to create a custom template file.
In the theme_hook_suggestions array there is an element with 'node__821' so i created the file node--821.tpl.php but it doesn't work.

I also tried page--node--821.tpl.php, this works in that it uses the file but this replaces the page.tpl.php and thats not what i need.

According to http://drupal.org/node/1089656 my filenames should work, but since they don't anyone an idea why? Could it have something to do with the page content type?
You need to do two things before this will work:


Make sure you have a copy of the original node.tpl.php file in your theme folder (the overridden template file will not be picked up otherwise).
Clear Drupal's cache


Other than that everything you're doing is perfect so that should fix the problem.
