Here's how to get a different page template per url is important . This comes in use when you do not want to have the sidebars and other page eliments appear in admin sections or forums.

<?php

function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':
      if ($vars['is_front']) {
        $vars['template_file'] = 'page-index';
      }
      else {
        $uri_request_id = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
        $section = explode("/", $uri_request_id);
        switch ($section[1]) {
          case 'admin': $vars['template_file'] = 'page-admin'; break;
          case 'group': $vars['template_file'] = 'page-group'; break;
          case 'question': $vars['template_file'] = 'page-vocab'; break;
          case 'add': $vars['template_file'] = 'page-addnode'; break;
          default: $vars['template_file'] = 'page-default';
        }
      }
    break;
  }
  return $vars;
}
?>

or in your page.tpl.php you can use

<?php

if ($is_front) {
    include 'page-index.tpl.php';
    return;
}
$uri_request_id = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$section = explode("/", $uri_request_id);
switch ($section[1]) {
    case 'admin': include 'page-admin.tpl.php'; break;
    case 'group': include 'page-group.tpl.php'; break;
    case 'question': include 'page-vocab.tpl.php'; break;
    case 'add': include 'page-addnode.tpl.php'; break;
    default: include 'page-default.tpl.php';
}

?>
