I have been searching all day but unable to find any answers - I am sure I am doing it right as worked fine in Drupal 6 and should work fine in Drupal 7.
I want to give a custom theme function to my select element in my form
$form['field_name'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Title Here'),
'#theme' => 'custom_select',
'#options' => $values,
);
I have the theme hook right to declare the new custom theme function but my problem is when using that custom theme function as above I get an empty $variables array which just reads
Array([element] => null)
can anyone see what I may be doing wrong? cleared cache, done everything I can think of - any ideas why Drupal is not passing the element data to the theme function? thanks
well finally figured this one out incase any one else has the problem - make sure you set render element in hook_theme and not variables!
before
function hook_theme(){
return array(
'select_currency' => array(
'variables' => array('element' => null),
'file' => 'module_name.theme.inc',
));
}
after
function hook_theme(){
return array(
'select_currency' => array(
'render element' => 'element',
'file' => 'module_name.theme.inc',
));
}
I was pulling my hair out until I remembered the render element!
