Re: [development] Context in Drupal 6

20 Dec 2007

      Following up this, phptemplate_preprocess_page was loading the node with 

if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
  $variables['node'] = node_load(arg(1));
}

but on node/revisions/48/view this is wrong. We now have:

if ($node = menu_get_object()) {
  $variables['node'] = $node;
}

Here is another example for this function:
if ((arg(0) == 'user') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
  $account = user_load(arg(1));
}

Gets replaced with   $account = menu_get_object('user');

I know I should not change API this late but this function was a necessaery bugfix and hardwiring it for nodes looked a bad decision. See the documentation of this function on this new and IMO very useful -- but admittely limited -- context getter.
