Changing Short project name in a Drupal.org project

Typical problem, you have just gained your full project permissions role in Drupal.org, and you make your first mess... you have promoted your so loved first project without changing the Short project name.

Get Drupal fields for a particular content type

Sometimes in Drupal you need to get the fields for a particular content types.

"$type = 'mytype';

$fields = content_fields();

$type_fields = array();

foreach ($fields as $field_name => $field_data)

{

if ($field_data['type_name'] == $type)

{

$type_fields[$field_name] = $field_data;

}

in drupal7 is easier, since we have a direct function:

field_info_instances($entity_type = NULL, $bundle_name = NULL)

get current drupal theme

very simple:

global $theme_key;

echo $theme_key;

if we need more information, we can use this:

$themes = list_themes();

$theme_object = $themes[$theme_key];

// print all the object fields

var_dump($theme_object);
