bootstrap. They only get processed during certain actions and
special pages, such as flushing caches, visiting the modules page,
etc. Once it reads the files, it then stores/updates the data in
the system table. The actual function that does this is
drupal_parse_info_file, located in common.inc and is most commonly
called through module_rebuild_cache.<br><br>
On the theme side a very similar process happens in the
system_theme_data in system.module. The most common caller for
that is from dupal_flush_all_caches().</div></blockquote><div>To paraphrase <span class="character">Judge Chamberlain Haller in "My Cousin Vinny"</span>: That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out reply.</div><div><br></div><div>And exactly what I want to hear. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thanks very much for the help,</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Chris.</span></div><div><span name="x"></span><br></div></div></body></html>
