[development] From Michelle: Request to themers.

[Jerad Bitner]

Here's another fun one Nate Haug showed me. Keep your vars separated into
.vars.php files and only loads what is needed depending on the hook:

<?php
/**
 * Intercept template variables
 *
 * @param $hook
 *   The name of the theme function being executed
 * @param $vars
 *   A sequential array of variables passed to the theme function.
 */
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  global $user;

  $vars['user'] = $user;
  $vars['path'] = base_path() . path_to_theme() .'/';
  $vars['admin'] = $user->roles[3] || $user->uid == 1 ? TRUE : FALSE;
  $vars['moderator'] = $user->roles[4] ? TRUE : FALSE;
  $vars['editor'] = $user->roles[5] ? TRUE : FALSE;
  $vars['authenticated'] = $user->uid ? TRUE : FALSE;

  // Include broad variables for each hook.
  if (file_exists($vars['directory'] .'/'. $hook .'.vars.php')) {
    include_once $vars['directory'] .'/'. $hook .'.vars.php';
    $function = 'myplay_theme_variables_'. str_replace('-', '_', $hook);
    $vars = $function($vars);
  }

  // Specific variables for node types.
  if ($hook == 'node') {
    if (file_exists($vars['directory'] .'/node-'. $vars['node']->type
.'.vars.php')) {
      include_once $vars['directory'] .'/node-'. $vars['node']->type
.'.vars.php';
      $function = 'myplay_theme_variables_node_'. $vars['node']->type;
      $vars = $function($vars);
    }
  }

  return $vars;
}
?>
