Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/26637 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/26637 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: theme system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: robertDouglass Updated by: Thox Status: patch I don't follow your logic why $teaser needs to be renamed, especially if $main is the alternative. If RSS wants to only show the teaser, does $main=true make sense? Thox Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ July 13, 2005 - 18:46 : robertDouglass Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/main_teaser.patch.txt (3.1 KB) The documentation to theme_node clearly says the the parameter $teaser is "Whether to display the teaser only, as on the main page." Naming this parameter $main in the themes is confusing. Main is used elsewhere to mean "whether to show full view or teaser view", but the meaning of $teaser seems to be subtly different. An alternate to the patch I'm suggesting would be to eliminate $teaser altogether, system-wide. The variable $main makes it clear that it is transmitting state (whether or not on the node's main page), whereas the variable $teaser makes on think it is transmitting the actual teaser.
