hi, where can i edit or create a theme for static pages?

i want total different page of "normal" view from my index page, i have been pasting all HTML code i want chosing "blank page" but i guess there is easy way creating a theme just for static pages, am i right?

Thanks in advance!

The content of a static page is usually sandwiched between the blockheader.thtml and blockfooter.thtml template files. You can override that by setting
Text Formatted Code
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['_staticpages_block'] = 'mystaticpageheader.thtml,mystaticpagefooter.thtml';
 
or something like that in your theme's functions.php file to make it use your own template files (mystaticpageheader.thtml in the above example).

See this post for some background information.

bye, Dirk

it doesn't work. Now is appearing two headers, original and the one i created.
Same with footer.

Nothing to do with index.php of /staticpages/ ?

The code of my functions.php:

Text Formatted Code
<?php

$_IMAGE_TYPE = 'png';

$result = DB_query ("SELECT onleft,name FROM {$_TABLES['blocks']} WHERE is_enabled = 1");
$nrows = DB_numRows ($result);
for ($i = 0; $i < $nrows; $i++) {
    $A = DB_fetchArray ($result);
        if ($A['onleft'] == 1) {
            $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE[$A['name']] = 'blockheader-left.thtml,blockfooter-left.thtml';
        } else {
            $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE[$A['name']] = 'blockheader-right.thtml,blockfooter-right.thtml';
    }
}

$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['_msg_block'] = 'blockheader-message.thtml,blockfooter-message.thtml';
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['customlogin'] = 'customlogin-header.thtml,customlogin-footer.thtml';
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['whats_related_block'] = 'blockheader-related.thtml,blockfooter-related.thtml';
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['story_options_block'] = 'blockheader-related.thtml,blockfooter-related.thtml';
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['_staticpages_block'] = 'mystaticpageheader.thtml,mystaticpagefooter.thtml';

?>

Can't explain why you would be seeing two headers / footers (doesn't happen for me), but for static pages in a centerblock, the code should actually read

$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['_staticpages_centerblock'] = '...';
