Saw this code at the top of theme.html of a theme. What is it doing?
Quote:
<{php}>
$mod = $GLOBALS['xoopsModule'];
$dirname = (isset($mod) ? $mod->getVar('dirname') :'system');
$GLOBALS['xoopsTpl']->assign( 'xoops_cmod', $dirname );
<{/php}>

According to a very clever colleague of mine:

"it finds the current module's directory name and assigns it to the template engine so it can be used in themes"

Which theme is it from?

was just abt to say that dave..

essentially it creates a smarty tag that you can use.. <{xoops_cmod}> which displays the directory (module folder) name

That could be handy... although part of this can be achieved with the templating functions in 2.0.14 onwards I guess?

This FAQ by Chapi explains it all.

If you are using XOOPS 2.1.10 or above the code is not needed because the $dirname variable has been added to the core. Before that, this snippet would be added to the theme to create the dirname variable.

Now the smarty variable < { $xoops_dirname } > (without spaces) will call up the directory folder name. It can be used to change themes, banners or titles per module. More Here.

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is in 2.3 yet... but it'll probably appear in 2.4 (This is a guess..!)
