Notice: Array to string conversion

I get exactly the same error.

I was receiving this error, I handled it by adding the following:

<?php
if (is_array($text)) $text = serialize($text);
?>

I've attached a patch for it.

This seems to be the correct fix and it works in my testing

errrr .... but it is not correct in terms of coding standards.

This is more betterer

Thanks for the correction on the coding standards. This should be patched, it's an annoying little issue.

I'm not going to un-mark this as RTBC, but I think I might have been sleep-coding at the time I reviewed/re-patched this...

The correct solution would be to ensure that only a string is ever passed into the theme function and not simply serilizing the array. In fact printing out the serialized array in the HTML output is just weird. It does serve as a good workaround for the time being though...

I agree with @bleen18. This is just hiding a symptom of a deeper problem.

In my case this notice is caused by the admin module, do you all use this module as well?

Maybe this is just a theming function issue.

This works!

The patch proposed by @kurtzhong doesn't account for the case where $text could still be a string - as per the original implementation and method signature suggesting. The attached version handles that. We have this running on a couple of projects already.

I just think that the theme function should receive parameters as defined by hook_theme.

$items['context_block_script_placeholder'] = array(
    'variables' => array('text' => NULL),
    'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'context') . '/theme',
    'file' => 'context_reaction_block.theme.inc',
  );

And we don't call theme_context_block_script_placeholder directly instead of theme('context_block_script_placeholder', $vars)'. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Patch #11 works well for me.

Could we please get this into the dev?!

When is the parameter a string? Shouldn't a theme function follow the standard parameters?

#11 worked for me as well. I am using the admin module with a custom theme.

#11 worked like a charm

#11 also works fine for me.
Still not committed to dev branch?
Is this where we mark it RTBC?

#11 also worked for me. Using admin module with Omega subtheme.

I've made the change like kurtzhong said in #12. The following patch should fix the root of the issue.

Patch in #20 works for me. Changed double quotations to single to follow the style Context uses, since there is no hard standard for this in Drupal.

Thanks 4 the patch!
Works great.

Works for me.

Fixed in commit 3ed08f32a11a39082879940588f6d020b23af852 using patch from #21 since theme functions should expect a variables array. Thanks for the bug report, patch and testing.

Still getting the message with the beta 7. I'm using D7.23 on Apache 2.2/PHP 5.4 (Ubuntu 13.04).

I'm getting 'Notice: Array to string conversion in theme_item_list() (line 2223 of /var/www/html/includes/theme.inc).'

The problem appears to be a div in the custom theme template.

It's outputting
div class "region region-content" data-thmr="thmr_249"
div id="block-system-main" class="block clock-system" data-thmr="thmr_248"
div class="block-content clearfix" - instead of div class="content"

It must be a template in the theme and not the inc file, because all the other themes work fine.
Any idea what template outputs that div - is it page?
