How to Override Template Suggestions in Drupal Modules

Tagpy's blog post delves into the process of overriding template suggestions within a Drupal module, a common need for developers. While many are familiar with overriding templates in the theme directory, the process differs when working within a module. Developers must implement the hook_theme function to direct Drupal to use a specific template from a module. The post uses the example of a "Project" content type with a view mode named "admin_table." By defining this in the hook_theme implementation and placing the corresponding template file in the module's templates directory, Drupal is instructed to use the module-specific template. This method ensures that Drupal recognizes and utilizes custom templates, enhancing content presentation flexibility.
