|
||
20 | * Define variables used by a module.
|
||
21 | *
|
||
22 | * Provides meta-information for each variable that includes at the very least some human readable title.
|
||
23 | * This information may be used by other modules to select variables from a list for translating, exporting, etc.
|
||
24 | *
|
||
25 | * Though not required we can also provide some more information to be able to handle the variable in an effective
|
||
26 | * way, like which type of data and form element it uses, default value, etc.. There are multiple predefined
|
||
27 | * variable types ('type' attribute) that will add a predefined set of properties. Some of them are:
|
||
28 | *
|
||
29 | * - "string": Simple plain string variable. The form element will be a text field and it will be localizable.
|
||
30 | * - "number": Simple numeric value. The form element will be a text field.
|
||
31 | * - "boolean": Simple TRUE/FALSE value. It will be a checkbox.
|
||
32 | * - "enable": Enabled / Disabled selector. It will display as two radio buttons.
|
||
33 | * - "select": Selectable list of options. Depending on the number of options, the element will be a list of
|
||
34 | * radios or a drop down.
|
||
35 | * - "options": List of options with multiple choices. It will be a list of checkboxes.
|
||
36 | * ...
|
||
37 | *
|
||
38 | * More variable types can be defined by modules using hook_variable_type_info().
|
||
39 | *
|
||
40 | * For the case of variable names that depend on some other parameter (like variables per content-type),
|
||
41 | * there's some special type of variables: Multiple variables. These can be defined like this:
|
||
42 | *
|
||
43 | * @code
|
||
44 | * $variables['node_options_[node_type]'] = array(
|
||
45 | * 'type' => 'multiple',
|
||
46 | * 'title' => t('Default options', array(), $options),
|
||
47 | * 'repeat' => array(
|
||
48 | * 'type' => 'options',
|
||
49 | * 'default' => array('status', 'promote'),
|
||
50 | * 'options callback' => 'node_variable_option_list',
|
||
51 | * ),
|
||
52 | * );
|
||
53 | * @endcode
|
||
54 | *
|
||
55 | * This multiple variable will spawn into one variable for each node type. Note the variable name that includes
|
||
56 | * the property [node_type]. Values for [node_type] will be defined on hook_variable_type_info().
|
||
57 | *
|
||
58 | * The 'repeat' property defines the properties of children variables. In this case the 'type' property is optional
|
||
59 | * and will default to 'multiple'.
|
||
60 | *
|
||
61 | * @param $options
|
||
62 | * Array of options to build variable properties. Since variable properties are cached per language
|
||
63 | * these options should be used at the very least for string translations, so titles and defaults are
|
||
64 | * localized. Possible options:
|
||
65 | * - "language" => Language object for which strings and defaults must be returned. This one will be always defined.
|
||
66 | *
|
||
67 | * @return
|
||
68 | * An array of information defining the module's variables. The array
|
||
69 | * contains a sub-array for each node variable, with the variable name
|
||
70 | * as the key. Possible attributes:
|
||
71 | * - "title": The human readable name of the variable, will be used in auto generated forms.
|
||
72 | * - "type": Variable type, should be one of the defined on hook_variable_type_info().
|
||
73 | * - "group": Group key, should be one of the defined on hook_variable_group_info().
|
||
74 | * - "description": Variable description, will be used in auto generated forms.
|
||
75 | * - "options": Array of selectable options, or option name as defined on hook_variable_option_info().
|
||
76 | * - "options callback": Function to invoke to get the list of options.
|
||
77 | * - "default": Default value.
|
||
78 | * - "default callback": Function to invoke to get the default value.
|
||
79 | * - "multiple": Array of multiple children variables to be created from this one.
|
||
80 | * - "multiple callback": Function to invoke to get children variables.
|
||
81 | * - "element": Form element properties to override the default ones for this variable type.
|
||
82 | * - "element callback": Function to invoke to get a form element for this variable.
|
||
83 | * - "module": Module to which this variable belongs. This property will be added automatically.
|
||
84 | * - "repeat": Array of variable properties for children variables.
|
||
85 | * - "localize": Boolean value, TRUE for variables that should be localized. This may be used by other modules.
|
||
86 | * - "validate callback": Callback to validate the variable value, it will be added to form element #validate.
