Store variables in theme directory

Christian,

These examples turn the variables array into a serialized text file. You cannot edit this file or you will break it. If you want store the variables in an editiable ini file instead, read the contributed comments here:

http://php.net/parse_ini_file

Warning: I have not tested this code.

/**
 * Generate config file (themebuilder_generate.inc)
 */
$data_config = serialize($themebuilder_vars);
$file_config = "themebuilder.cfg";
$file_pointer = fopen($theme_path ."/". $file_config, "w");
fputs($file_pointer, $data_config);
fclose($file_pointer);

/**
 * Read config file (themebuilder_file_open.inc)
 * include data.inc not needed
 */
$file_config = $theme_path ."/themebuilder.cfg";
$themebuilder_vars = unserialize(file_get_contents($file_config));
foreach ($themebuilder_vars as $name => $value) {
	variable_set($name, $value);
}

Updated data.inc

// $Id: data.inc,v 1.1.1.3 2008/04/17 16:12:57 christianzwahlen Exp $

$base_path = base_path();
$module_path = drupal_get_path('module', 'themebuilder');
$themes_path = 'sites/all/themes';

/**
 * Theme Setup
 */
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_site_name'] = variable_get('themebuilder_site_name', 'Mysite');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_site_slogan'] = variable_get('themebuilder_site_slogan', 'Slogan');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_site_mission'] = variable_get('themebuilder_site_mission', 'Mission.');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_site_footer'] = variable_get('themebuilder_site_footer', 'Footer message');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_url'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_url', 'http://localhost/drupal6/');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_email'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_email', 'info@mysite.com');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_name'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_name', 'Theme Name');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_dir'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_dir', 'themedir');

$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_description'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_description', 'Theme description.');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_version'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_version', '6.x');
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_engine'] = variable_get('themebuilder_engine', 'drupal');
/* $themebuilder_vars['theme_path'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_path', 'themes/'); */
$themebuilder_vars['themebuilder_theme_devel_errors'] = variable_get('themebuilder_theme_devel_errors', 1);

Here is some code to save settings in an editable ini file instead of a non-editable serialized array file.

/**
* Read ini file (themebuilder_file_open.inc)
*/
$file_ini = $theme_path ."/themebuilder.ini";
if (file_exists($file_ini) && is_readable($file_ini)) {
	$themebuilder_vars = parse_ini_file($file_ini);
	foreach ($themebuilder_vars as $name => $value) {
		variable_set($name, $value);
	}
}

/**
* Generate ini file (themebuilder_generate.inc)
*/
$data_ini = '';
foreach ($themebuilder_vars as $key => $value) {
	$data_ini .= $key.' = '. $value ."\n";
}
$file_ini = "themebuilder.ini";
$file_pointer = fopen($theme_path ."/". $file_ini, "w");
fputs($file_pointer, $data_ini);
fclose($file_pointer);
