Converting 4.1.x themes to 4.2.x
Required changes
Add a theme_onload_attribute() to a <body> tag:
<body <b><?php print theme_onload_attribute(); ?></b> >Optional changes
Take advantage of settings() hook
Themes can now populate settings to adminstration pages using the function <em>themename</em>_settings(). Example:
function mytheme_settings() {
$output = form_select("Sidebar placement", "mytheme_sidebar",
variable_get("mytheme_sidebar", "right"),
array(
"none" => t("No sidebars"),
"left" => t("Sidebar on the left"),
"right" => t("Sidebar on the right"));
}Direct you site logo to index.php
If you theme has the logo and you have made it to link <a href=""> or even <a href="<?php print path_uri();>"> then please replace these instances with a simple <a href="index.php" alt="">
One additional change may be needed. Using a custom theme adapted from a generic one, the original node function has the following code:
<?php
$terms = array();
if (function_exists("taxonomy_node_get_terms")) {
if ($terms = taxonomy_node_get_terms($node->nid)) {
$taxlinks = array();
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$taxlinks[] = l($term->name, array("or" => $term->tid), "index");
}
$taxo = $this->links($taxlinks);
}
}
?>Which gaves an error on the index page after upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2 and contains invalid URLs. Replacing the above code with this fixes the error.
<?php
$terms = array();
if (module_exist("taxonomy")) {
$terms = taxonomy_link("taxonomy terms", $node);
}
$taxo = $this->links($terms);
?>
