title: How to quickly theme a view?
body: <p>I've defined a view with the CCK and View 2 modules. I would like to quickly define a template specific to this view. Is there any tutorial or information on this? What are the files I need to modify?</p>

  <p><strong>Here are my findings: (Edited)</strong></p>
  
  <p>In fact, there are two ways to theme a view: the "<strong>field</strong>" way and the "<strong>node</strong>" way. In "edit View", you can choose "<code>Row style: Node</code>", or "<code>Row style: Fields</code>".</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>with the "<strong>Node</strong>" way, you can create a <strong>node-contentname.tpl.php</strong> which will be called for each node in the view. You'll have access to your cck field values with $field_name[0]['value']. (edit2) You can use <strong>node-view-viewname.tpl.php</strong> which will be only called for each node displayed from this view.</li>
  <li>with the "<strong>Field</strong>" way, you add a views-view-field--viewname--field-name-value.tpl.php for each field you want to theme individually.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks to previous responses, I've used the following tools :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>In the 'Basic Settings' block, the 'Theme: Information' to see all the different templates you can modify.</li>
  <li>The <a href="http://drupal.org/project/devel" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Devel module</a>'s "Theme developer" to quickly find the field variable names.</li>
  <li><a href="http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">View 2 documentation</a>, especially the <a href="http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/help/views/using-theme" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"Using Theme"</a> page.</li>
  </ul>
