Drupal is standing on a huge pile of midgetsAll content management systems suck, Drupal just happens to suck less.Popular open source software is more secure than unpopular open source software, because insecure software becomes unpopular fast.

Some Drupal 7 porting tips

  • UPDATE/INSERT often can be updated to a single db_merge.
  • Don't forget to ->execute() your db_select/db_insert/etc
  • Themes can have many variables and you might want to do
    function theme_fivestar_preview($variables) {
      $theme_definition = fivestar_theme();
      foreach ($theme_definition['fivestar_preview']['arguments'] as $key => $default) {
        $$key = $variables[$key];
      }

    Edit: merlinofchaos suggests simply extract($variables, EXTR_SKIP); because that's what templates do.

The signature of hook_theme

The signature of hook_theme is not as easy :( hook_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path)

I would use

<?php
  $hooks = theme_get_registry();
  foreach ($hooks['foo']['arguments'] as $key => $default) {
    $$key = $variables[$key];
  }
?>

Thanks for the info. I just
