Developers

If your module stores a domain_id field, you need to update all references to domain_id 0. The proper method is in hook_update_N after declaring a dependency on domain_update_7303.

/**
 * Implements hook_dependencies().
 */
function domain_theme_update_dependencies() {
  $dependencies['domain_theme'][7300] = array(
    'domain' => 7303,
  );
  return $dependencies;
}

/**
 * Remove references to row 0.
 */
function domain_theme_update_7300(&$sandbox) {
  $default_id = db_query("SELECT domain_id FROM {domain} WHERE is_default = 1")->fetchField();
  db_update('domain_theme')
    ->fields(array('domain_id' => $default_id))
    ->condition('domain_id', 0)
    ->execute();
  return t('Domain Theme zero records removed.');
}
