How do i use a template file for my content type? quite new to drupal here so forgive me if things seems evident for you.i'm building onto an already existing site in drupal 7. the site is a onepager frontpage and from the frontpage there are links to various content types.
now i created a new content type named article.
when i link to such an article from the frontpage i (arrive at an article and) cannot go back to the frontpage through the menu anymore, while it does work with the other content types. I have searched and searched and made sure every setting is the same as the other content types but the links just don't work (they do nothing).
I did see in the templates folder that there are template files for each content type except the one i made. I'm wondering if that is the problem? If so, i don't know what exactly to do to keep it working though. I duplicated a template file and renamed it after node-article.tpl.php, but i guess it doesn't suffice.
can anyone assist?

Thx

put this code into you template.php this will give you the suggestions to make your tpl file. 

And for your answer you just can print anything in you page.tpl.php file it prints then you just have to change in your page.tpl.php file
