function _theme_process_registry

Process a single implementation of hook_theme().

Parameters

$cache: The theme registry that will eventually be cached; It is an associative array keyed by theme hooks, whose values are associative arrays describing the hook:

  • 'type': The passed-in $type.
  • 'theme path': The passed-in $path.
  • 'function': The name of the function generating output for this theme hook. Either defined explicitly in hook_theme() or, if neither 'function' nor 'template' is defined, then the default theme function name is used. The default theme function name is the theme hook prefixed by either 'theme_' for modules or '$name_' for everything else. If 'function' is defined, 'template' is not used.
  • 'template': The filename of the template generating output for this theme hook. The template is in the directory defined by the 'path' key of hook_theme() or defaults to $path.
  • 'variables': The variables for this theme hook as defined in hook_theme(). If there is more than one implementation and 'variables' is not specified in a later one, then the previous definition is kept.
  • 'render element': The renderable element for this theme hook as defined in hook_theme(). If there is more than one implementation and 'render element' is not specified in a later one, then the previous definition is kept.
  • 'preprocess functions': See theme() for detailed documentation.
  • 'process functions': See theme() for detailed documentation.

$name: The name of the module, theme engine, base theme engine, theme or base theme implementing hook_theme().

$type: One of 'module', 'theme_engine', 'base_theme_engine', 'theme', or 'base_theme'. Unlike regular hooks that can only be implemented by modules, each of these can implement hook_theme(). _theme_process_registry() is called in aforementioned order and new entries override older ones. For example, if a theme hook is both defined by a module and a theme, then the definition in the theme will be used.

$theme: The loaded $theme object as returned from list_themes().

$path: The directory where $name is. For example, modules/system or themes/bartik.
