Comparison of PHPTemplate and Twig theming paradigms
This page compares PHPTemplate to Twig. The Twig effort is currently in progress, so there will be changes and additions to this doc.
For more information, see:
About Twig
Twig is a PHP-based compiled templating language. When your web page renders, the Twig engine takes the template and converts it into a 'compiled' PHP template which it stores in a protected directory in sites/default/files/php_storage/... The compilation is done once. Template files are cached for reuse and are recompiled on clearing the Twig cache.
The Drupal Twig initiative shares the same motivation as the Symfony initiative: to adopt a modern, powerful, OOP-based engine that will allow developers to concentrate on Drupal proper.

PHPTemplate:
<?php
/**
* @file
* File description
*/
?>Twig:
{#
/**

* File description
*/
#}2. File and function names
PHPTemplate file: node--article.tpl.php
Twig file: node-article.html.twig
Theming Drupal 8
Twig is the new templating engine in Drupal 8. See the change record for more information.
Please review the Twig coding standards for how we'll be using Twig in Drupal.
This document is still a work in progress, please see the subpages for more information or the following issues for more background:
Non-responsive theme with Radix
To create a non-responsive theme with Radix,
- Edit screen.css in your theme assets directory.
- Comment the line
@import "compass_radix_responsive"; - At a terminal, run compass clean && compass watch.
- Flush the cache (optional).
Theming with Profile2
User-profile.tpl.php
If you are designing a custom template for your user profile pages and are using the Profile2 module, you probably are looking to add your custom fields to the user-profile.tpl.php template. Here is how this can be accomplished.
This assumes that you have a Profile2 profile type called my-profile. You may easily load your fields into your custom user-profile.tpl.php by printing them like this:
<?php print render($user_profile['profile_my-profile']['view']['profile2'][1]['field_example']); ?>Where field_example is the machine name of your field. This example is setup for most fields such as text fields. Image fields can be rendered differently.
Node.tpl.php
To add the fields to the node.tpl.php template, we must first call the profile2 object like so:
<?php
$uid = user_load($node->uid);
$myprofile = profile2_load_by_user($uid, 'my-profile');
?>Then we can print fields like this:
<?php if (isset($portfolio->field_example['und'][0]['value'])): ?>
<?php print ($portfolio->field_example['und'][0]['value']); ?>
<?php endif; ?>As always you can view all printable items via the print_r function.
Create a quick Admin "Edit This Page" link that bypasses the content List
I sometimes do not like having to click on the Content link and then have to search for that page in the Content/Nodes screen, so this little code is handy for quickly editing a page while bypassing the Content list. Wordpress also has a quick command for this, but I never found it on Drupal.
global $user;
$role = $user->role ;
if($role=="admin" || $role=="administrator")
{
// Generate all your Drupal and PHP variables
$nid = arg(1);
$edit_this_page_link = ("<a style=" color:cyan;" href="' . $base_url . '/node/' . $nid . '/edit">Edit This Page</a>");
}This can go into any page.tpl.php or even a preprocess function in your template's template.php file.
